The embarrassing truth of my notebook obsessions. These are all the blank notebooks currently in my possession. Clearly, I practice what I preach.

We have a winner!
I’m blown away that we had over 100 entries in the latest Well-Appointed Desk drawing. I was tickled to read everything people wanted to buy with the winnings. There were lots of requests for Prera and Kaweco fountain pens, Pelle journals, brush pens and Hi-Tec Cs.
Without further delay, the winner of our drawing is:
Congratulations, Splitz! I’d say “don’t spend it all in one place” but I guess you’ll have to! (You should have received an email from me with contact info to claim your prize.)
To all the other entries, thanks so much for entering and sharing your wish lists. Hopefully, we’ll have another drawing soon!
Typewriter du jour, the Royal Sprite 4, soon to be available for sale to members of the Letter Writers Alliance.

It was hard to choose just one photo from this blog post of fabulous office spaces but the one that caught my eye was a black-and-white image of Yves St. Laurent’s desk. Its cluttered and looks like its used on a daily basis. Click through to the full post to see the desks of other well-known designers like Isabel Toledo, Frank Gehry and Diane von Furstenburg.

Read the detailed tale of the revival of the Blackwing pencil from the end of the original production run to the new versions issued by Palomino. Oh, how we can be so passionate about just the right writing instrument!

Side-by-side matching desks are a great solution for kids or for a dual-purpose workspace — one desk for computer work, the other for drawing, writing, or other task.
