Spiral notebooks whisper to me about the promise of a new term at school, new things to learn, new things to write. With a spiral pad, with a pen clipped inside the coil, I’m ready to take on the world.

The pen is poised

The pen here looks like a ballerina en pointe, about to pirouette around the stage. What it’s going to write doesn’t matter as much as the act of writing itself.

The author of this picture seems to be a great admirer of paperclips. I love that somebody is enough into paperclips to draw a self-portrait holding one up.

Cupcake notepads are a Good Thing, as far as I’m concerned, as they satisfy two cravings at once, without threatening your waistline. Yes.

Discovering Padblocks cubes
Filed Under Random stationery, notepaper | 1 Comment
Gift shops at tourist sites are often a good source of quirky stationery, and last weekend I’ve found an irrisitible little notepad of a type I hadn’t seen before.
Made by Padblocks, these are neat stacks of note paper glued along one side, with a pen-shaped hole in the corner. They have pictures printed along the other sides, and these can be a little kitsch, but the pad itself is so neat, and cute and simply awesome that I don’t mind the images.
I didn’t really need 800 sheets of note paper, but I don’t usually really need any of my new stationery toys. That’s how fetish manifests itself, right?
