Note-Taking Just Got Easier


Polyhistor

Recommended Posts

I always need a couple of my favorite note cards on my nightstand in order to note ideas that might come before I fall asleep ... another perfect occasion to combine my love of leather, stationery, and pen paraphernalia. :D

The second one is a little notepad cover for a Rhodia N°11 pad. No bells and whistles, just the basics. This was actually the test piece for a smaller one that I've been asked to make. A larger sibling is due soon. Both items are of course handstitched.

PS – Sorry for the blunt advertising in the pics, but I also used these on my blog and wanted to add something personal to the watermark.

Lovely work and beautiful designs! I particularly like the lines of that notecard holder.

I depend on my 3x5 card stock in my picket jitter. Cranes used to sell the engraved cards and a very large product fir then. It was discontinued without explanation. Levenger prints some , if personalization is a requirement, but the papa tee nor the engraving compare to Cranes.

Thanks, everyone!

 

My favorite notecards are not store-bought. They're old library index cards that our librarian gave me when our university department had to move to a new building. He had literally thousands of them and since they're made from archival grade cardstock, they're super smooth and FP friendly. I still don't know what to do when I run out of these cards. :unsure:

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
