Thursday, December 10th, 2009I have this thing for sketchbooks. My thing is, I can’t seem to get rid of ANY of them. I have stacks from high school, college and more recent times too. They are sentimental and I spend years filling them with thoughts, to-do lists, sketches and important notes. I’ve even had moments when my face turns flush because I thought I carelessly left such a private piece of me at a job site or in someone else’s hands. God forbid someone read my deepest, darkest notes alongside my grocery lists.
While my sketches don’t resemble anything like these, they are still, mine and they remind me of years past and all that I’ve learned. Yesterday, I came across Notebook Doodles. What I now love more than hoarding my own is looking at other’s sketchbooks. What fun. It’s such a rarity to see inside a sketchbook. So check out the blog devoted to sketches here and the flickr site here.
You can start your own collection with one of these. Hardback is ideal to withstand the abuse of months worth of notes and travels.

want to sew?

Then I suggest you take a look at this baby. It looks vintage but is brand new. A nice feature when it comes to actually trying to sew something. You’ll know what I mean if you have ever used a vintage machine then moved on to a newer model. Nice work Urban Outfitters and Singer.
