Could these notebooks by Cartolina be any more appealing? I wrote a couple of posts back that I can't get enough of stationery and these just feed into that addiction with their fantastically exotic graphics reminiscent of lushly coloured botanical studies. The notebooks are designed by Fiona Richards out in British Columbia. She spent her childhood with her grandparents in Scotland, surrounded by images of their travels as textile dealers in India, and also was influenced by her uncle's work as an illustrator. They're 100% recycled, measure 4" by 6" and come in nine different patterns that are printed using vegetable ink. I love the blue ones pictured above, but also couldn't resist the red-tone ones, so included the pic of them below. To have a look at more of Cartolina's products, click here. Available at: Buk & Nola, Montreal, www.buknola.com; Pistachio, Toronto, www.epistachio.com; Country Furniture Vancouver, www.countryfurniture.net Price: $4 each, or $12 for a bundle of 3 FYI: Cartolina also does birthday, thank you and various holiday cards that you can find at www.greetq.com, a U.S. company. You can not only buy a card from them, but have them send it to the recipient, with a personalized message in either the font of your choice or handwritten by a member of the GreetQ staff! How's that for service when you're pressed for time? I'm impressed!
