Oberon Designs celtic pocket notebook

Oberon Celtic knots leather cover on Rhoda Web
notebook & Pilot Decimo vp.
This is one of my favorite pocket books to carry around with me in my purse.  You can put just about any 3.5" x 5.5" notebook (s) in them.  Field notes makes some notebooks that would fit beautifully - and more than one at a time too. A well built journal to jot down your daily to-do list,  favorite recipes,  favorite songs and artists,  daily thoughts, and much,  much more.


A nice thick Rhodia webnotebook fills my Oberon cover.  The best part is that is refillable. A nice, durable piece of elastic holds the notebook closed.  The layer is thick and stitched around the edges. It also has a ribbon book marker.





There is some ghosting on the Rhodia paper.  Mine makes a great weekly ink tracker.



The costs can vary for different covers. This exact design is $39. You can request larger covers,  covers for phones, and much more.

A Moleskine find!

It's not very often that I find a good journal deal around where I live. Heck,  the nearest fountain pen show is down in Portland,  Oregon. But just yesterday, I happened to stumble upon quiet a nice find while my family and I were out shopping. Plus it was at Costco of all places! With a deal like that I couldn't pass it up.


A 6 pack of large Moleskine cahiers! Usually a 3 pack will cost around $14 at Moleskine. However at Costco,  you get 6 for $20 (at least at the Costco near us.). Being a pen and Journal lover,  this was a very exciting find for me.  



You get two grey,  two tan, and two black journals. These journals are the perfect size for taking notes or staying on that memoir you have been doing to write. I have yet to figure out what I will use mine for. 



I find that these journals tend to be fairly fountain pen friendly,  with quiet a few inks. There is very minimal ghosting...so minimal is almost non existent.  No bleed through. I didn't see any feathering,  but I am sure the effects may vary with different inks and pens used.




I am not sure how long Costco will have this awesome deal,  so go get your Moleskine while you can!
