That’s so exciting! The notebooks fill up quicker than other notebooks since they have less pages - if you don’t like what you’ve written, you can just change to a new insert! Also, for my first one, to get over that feeling, I measured a refill and made my own out of printer paper and by the time I’d filled up that cheaper makeshift one, I knew what I liked and could confidently go into the nicer inserts! 💕
I feel like Traveler's Notebook is perfect for this reason - you can just change the inserts. I will still save my limited edition inserts probably because they have special prints in them and I don't like blank pages anyway, but the inserts are cheap (and you can make your own) so to me there's no fear to use it.
In this journal, I have two traveler’s company sketch paper inserts in regular size. I buy them lots of places depending on what else I need in the order! The Paper Mouse, Yoseka Stationery, Baum-Kuchen, Goulet Pens, and JetPens.
I haven’t had that issue, but I usually have enough inserts and accessories that block it. Initially, I started with covers from Chic Sparrow which put the knot along the spine, and I ended up really liking both styles!
The first one was a very patinaed camel! It’s also been conditioned which darkened it a bit - I have a video documenting that process too. It started out so light and fuzzy and has gotten dark and smooth! I love it. Will definitely switch back to that cover when I’m in the mood for it again!
@PurplesandRoses Hi! No, I didn’t. I’m in the US and I get my Traveler’s Company products from a variety of places. The cover I opened in the video was from GouletPens.com and I got at least one of the inserts from JetPens.com , the pen charm from YosekaStationery.com , the camel TN cover with embossings from Baum-Kuchen.net … I think that’s it?
There are a bunch of really good ones that carry their products along with other wonderful brands (and a lot of them are so well curated!). I usually rotate who I order from depending on what else I need at the time and what each one carries!
