Vintage ledger paper? Check. Green graph paper? Got it. Aged blank paper? It's in there. After years of collecting new and vintage office paper I'm happy to introduce these mixed paper notebooks to the shop.
Here are the basics. Each journal measures about 5" x 8" and has a total of 75 pages. The pale green covers are made from vintage file folder dividers. The notebooks lay flat due to the spiral binding, and are backed with chipboard.
I've been holding onto these vintage file folder dividers are several years, waiting for the perfect project. The dividers make the best notebook covers because they're made from heavy weight chipboard to protect the pages inside. Each has a metal alphabet tab so you can choose your initial, or maybe the initial of your friend if it's a gift. Everything is better with a little personalization, right?
The covers are awesome, but it's the pages inside that I'm really excited about. All of the pages are hand cut from various lined / blank / graph / accounting papers that are perfect to write on. There are 75 pages in all, including over 50 different new and vintage papers so only a few duplicate pages in each journal. Flipping through all of the different papers is about as fun as actually using the journal.
In addition to the mix of office papers, I've included a few vintage airmail envelopes, glassine envelopes, and kraft pockets. These envelopes and pockets are perfect to tuck in extra bits of papers you collect along the way - receipts if you're using the journal to keep track of your budget, business cards if it's going to be your wedding planning book, or perhaps ticket stubs and photobooth strips if it's the journal that's always tucked in your purse.
If you want to snag the notebook with the initial of your choose before it's scooped up by someone else, you can find them in the shop right here.
