Hand-embellished Moleskine by 19-year-old photographer, Emily (by e.pic)
Crate and Barrel bookshelf/desk combo is mostly designed for a bookophile who occasionally must tackle the bills.

Proof that, sometimes, the best tool for the job is a notebook you can buy for less than $5 a piece. Michael Beirut talks about using simple composition notebooks for the last 26 (nope, now its 28) years!
I just got a set of these pencils as a birthday gift. They are made from recycled newspapers and are non-toxic. These pencils claim to be water resistant and to last 2-3 times longer than ordinary wood pencils. Each pencil is printed with wildlife graphics like leopard spots, snakeskin and zebra stripes.
This is one of my favorite notebooks.
The Hand*Book Journal Co. blank books are beautiful. They are covered in hardback book cloth with blank pages inside. The paper is heavier weight and toothier than a standard Moleskine (and much cheaper) and available in a square 5×5 size, as well as more traditional 3×5 and 5×8-ish size. The elastic is a bit more substantial but the book mark is shorter than the Moleskine. They are produced by a local Kansas City company called Global Art Materials which makes me more inclined to support the local guys! I wish they had a shop in town. I’d love to buy directly from them.
Highly recommended. Available in all sizes on Amazon
