» Flickr Friday: Your First Rhodia – Which, Where and When?

1st rhodia

Flickr member Eric Morgan noted this image as containing his first Rhodia.  Way to go Eric for choosing the Webnotebook!  My own first Rhodia was a No° 11 Bloc pad that I bought at Blick in 2005 after finding that one of my favorite jewelry designers, (Thomas Mann) never went out without one in his back pocket. I can’t say that I ever used it for designing jewelry, but I did use it to store information that I wanted to be able to refer to again and again and the No° 11 was small enough to reside in my bag for several years.  Rhodia fans – which was your first, and when and where did you get it?

No° 18 and No° 16 lined – purchased at Borders – last summer

No° 16 lined and plain, bought at Bittner a couple of years ago on my first visit there. I’d previously bought pens from them and was overwhelmed by their pen collection, but I had also just been laid off from my job.

So I bought ink cartridges for my pen and also bought my first two Rhodia pads. Since then, I’ve found a supplier 100 miles closer.

The No° 16 is still my favorite size.

I didn’t mess about when I first acquired Rhodias: in one fell swoop, I ordered the Exafolio, several No. 18s, and the Essentials Box. The kind folks at http://www.vickerey.com wrapped them so appropriately that I immediately ordered large and small staple-bound notebooks, pencils . . . I am now poor in funds but rich in what matters.

Webnotebook thanks to Karen Doherty. I’m hooked now. Nice and portable for conventions and notetaking.

Mine was an orange n°11, I bought one because my brother had some, and it was so cheap and cool.
Now, I’m using black n°12, the best size.
