Well, hell. I was just posting on "Flitter" about this website, when the dang doorbell rings. NO ONE rings my doorbell, unless it's a kiddo from downstairs locked out at this hour. And.........what do I see? A magic box already from Moleskine. I just ordered them on, what? Monday? In 100% retrospect or 20/20 hindsight, I should have gotten the slightly thicker ones with the cute little bindy thing. But I'm pleased.
Cool info on the books (I almost cried at the first page - lordy, I'm a wimp): On the first page it has "In case of loss, please return to:" and then "As a reward: $" The pages are a lovely ivory color. They came with history of "The Legendary Notebook"
"The legendary black notebook is once again being passed from one pocket to the next; with its various different page styles it accompanies the creative professions and the imaginations of our time. The adventure of Moleskine continues, and its still-blank pages will tell the rest." Which I think pretty much sums up our adventure here.
Both are 80 pages, and rather small, so I think (just to be safe and make sure that I get all my girls included to do what and as much as they want), I'll be shipping both out. Volumes I and II.
By cute little bindy thing do you mean the hardcover ones? I haven't bought mine yet, and I'm still contemplating exactly what I want to go with.
ReplyDeleteExactly - I accidentally ordered the softcover ones. They are thin, but with still rather sturdy paper. I don't think they'll hold up to heavy acrylic paint or anything, but ink wash and watercolours should be fine. And I'll just rubber band the darn things myself!
ReplyDeleteI think that the paper is same in all the different versions of Moleskines. At least that has been my experience with them.
