A Year in Field Notes

Posted on by Reema

Every single quarter, Field Notes release limited edition pocket notebooks. Their annual subscription fills you with plenty of notebooks to get writing, wherever you are. I love their notebooks – and I’ve raved about a few of the different editions every so often here. But as it’s almost the end of 2019, I took a moment to look back at the last year’s release and it hit me how apt each and every one was. For perhaps the first time, the Field Notes limited editions all symbolise something related to the season they were released in for me. I am keen to see where they go from this.

Field Notes National Parks series

Posted on by Reema

My collection of brand new, unused notebooks was growing a lot faster than I was using them and storage quickly became an issue. So when my Field Notes subscription came to an end, I did not renew it. At least, that was until I saw the summer limited edition notebooks: The Field Notes National Parks series. 

Field Notes National Park Series

As you may already know, Field Notes release a set of limited edition notebooks every quarter – available to purchase on its own or through an annual subscription. They are dropping their 44th quarterly release (the fall release) on Tuesday, 1st October, which I’m really excited to find out about. But this post is about their 43rd release because I absolutely adore it. I have from the moment it dropped and now that it’s finally in my hands, I had to shout out about it. 

There is a soft spot in my heart for Field Notes. They put so much effort, thought and love into their products. It’s the finer details that make the notebook what it is for me. Everything from the outside of the book to the inside pages, from the cover to the details on the back. Each and every product is crafted with so much love. Even if I dislike the cover of that quarterly, there is always something to appreciate in them. But this time, I cannot fault it at all.  Continue reading “Field Notes National Parks series” →

Field Notes Byline

Field Notes Byline.pngWhen I think of “Field Notes”, I instantly picture one of their pocket notebooks.  Whether it’s their Kraft series or a limited edition version, it’s always a pocket notebook that I think of in the traditional sense of the word.  I think of the 5.5″ x 3.5″ staple bound pocket notebooks that they commonly produce.

If you didn’t already know, Field Notes release a special new limited edition notebook every season.  These limited edition versions are only printed in small batches and once sold out, are gone.  The number of packets printed for each edition is listed on the website, as well as on the inside covers of the notebooks themselves.  And let’s be honest, every time they do something new and amazing.  They play with the quality of the paper, the colour of it, the cover material, perforation and many more things as they look to create new exciting products.  It’s always exciting to see what they come up with every season.  In Summer 2016, they launched the Byline edition – and like always, it was a surprise.  The Byline edition is completely different to the other series in that it is a Reporter’s Notebook.  A proper top spiral bound flip book sort of reporter’s notebook.  Today’s post will be a look into the Byline edition.

National Stationery Week – Pencil Day ft. Palomino Blackwing & Field Notes Pencils

Posted on by Reema

Blackwings Pearl & Field Notes PencilsOn the first day of Christmas NatStatWeek, my true love sent to me: a pencil day.  Now I’ve never really thought of myself as a fan of pencils – I’ve always been a fan of ink and pens.  However, this is not because I dislike them but rather I think I’ve just never realised how important pencils are and how much I use them in my daily life.  All of my drawings are designed with pencils… all of my sketches, card design ideas, sticker designs are all sketched with pencils… they always have been.  I have a set of pencils from when I was younger that range from 9B to 9H – covering all of my needs – but I still never really appreciated them.  Until recently.  I now know how amazing these little creations are, how easy they are to use and how much I love the ability to erase them when I make a mistake (which is probably quite often…).
