Link Love: Papery Day

Today is a very papery day. At least for me and this edition of Link Love. But I think that’s okay. I love paper and notebooks. If I didn’t, this job would be considerably less enjoyable than it is. I love when people find new paper products or revisit an old favorite. I love knowing that this site and these links might introduce a new paper (or pen or ink) to someone so that it might become their favorite.
