moleskinerie is a blog for fans of Moleskines.
I’ve always wanted a Moleskine notebook. Archival quality paper. Smooth Moleskine cover. Elasticized band to keep it shut. So pricey, though, and how can I justify one when I have stacks of unused composition books in narrow rule, quadrille and blank? What style would I choose, if I were to choose one?
Should I walk over to the Blick Art store on Van Ness and browse the aisles … and doublecheck one more time whether they’re just really too pricey right now for me to justify the expense when I already have all these blank books?
I’m almost absolutely positive I’d get there and drool over the notebooks and then decide, nope, too pricey. Should I just get on with writing and promise myself a Moleskine as a reward … some day?
The two mile walk over there would be good for me …
Update: I walked over. Checked out the Moleskine notebooks. Bought some.
Hah! But I had a plan. I took our youngest with me. The Moleskine notebooks I bought were for him for an early bday present. I fed my yearning for Moleskine by giving some away. (No. I couldn’t justify the cost of the notebooks, knowing how many blank composition books I have stashed away.)
