I'm A Sad, Pathetic Stationery Junkie.

I recommend urgent action. In these current unsettling times I believe you must have 5 years supply of your fave notebook and then a backup of alternatives.

 

Thank you for your encouragement

I keep buying more notebooks and I am both distressed and elated at my actions.

In the last two weeks I have bought:

6 Muji notebooks, 2 A5 Midori Md, 1 A6 Midori Md, 3 bottles of Pilot ink, an A6 Kokuyo Systemic notebook cover to go with the Midori Md A6 I bought by mistake and a really cute A7 Kokuyo Systemic notebook cover that I am using as a card case/wallet/ notebook. All this because you know shipping from Japan might stop at any minute and I would be left with only two years worth of notebooks and ink. Or that’s the justification I am using for what is probably retail therapy.

two years? You are cutting it very fine.

I know. If the staying at home lasts much longer, I’ll be able to acquire a larger buffer, but then maybe not. More time to use what I have.

 

I forgot I also bought a blank regular size Traveler’s Notebook insert to check out format and paper. I kept looking at the covers but couldn’t justify the expense right now. I ended up putting it in a spare Systemic along with some diy inserts. That seems to work. I’ll give it a try for awhile.

Keep it up. Just keep thinking what is worse case scenario. And then double the back up stock.

I am so disappointed this thread has gone untouched for two weeks. Someone must have broken free and purchased something?

I can help just a little with one Drawing Book from Daiso. I don't absolute need any more drawing paper, but it is interesting because the paper feels quite strange - slightly thicker and oddly plastic - I have no idea if it will work well with pen and ink. It was cheap however and if it does do well I promise to rush back for more even though it's a long drive.

 

If I can overcome my doldrums and procrastination I will draw in it and report back.

Thats the spirit! Daiso is always a little treasure trove. Never know what you might find. I picked up some small Maruman spiral notebooks last time - very nice.

I forgot to post about my purchases. I bought 6 notebooks on Etsy, bought a Cavellini Co notebook while shopping at Barnes and Noble when my brother was visiting, and ordered Elemental notebooks after seeing a link in an email.

 

If I get a chance, I’ll post a photo of them.

Good work. Proud of you.

High praise from inkypete. I thank you humbly.

Wait, brick and mortar stores are still a thing? I’ve been holed up for four months only venturing out for groceries and horse feed. I just figured it had all devolved into a zombie filled apocalyptic wasteland.

Careful, they may be setting a trap!

Oh no, a cunning plan!

Would you have preferred a punning clan?

Would you have preferred a punning clan?

That would be one of the Chesterton Facebook groups. Recently a member asked, 'Why did Chesterton have a beef with grocers?'

[Stompie]

Apologies for the delay but that does not mean I have not been busy stocking up
