Webbie Tablets?
Someone, somewhere had asked about me about the possibility of a Webbie tablet. Webbie as in the 90g off-white paper found in the Rhodia Webnotebooks. With few exceptions, Rhodia/Clairefontaine products typically include bright white paper. As I myself prefer off-white paper for journaling, I think I could love the idea of spiral or staple-bound off-white tablets with same the fountain pen friendly Webbie paper.
Your thoughts? And if you could buy a Webbie tablet in just one size/format, what would it be?

Themed Journals – Yay or Nay?
I’ve reviewed quite a few different journals over the last few years and have noticed an increase in the production of themed journals from a variety of vendors. When I see them, I often wonder how well received they are by the buying public. Part of me feels as though they are gimmicky and it’s hard for me to wrap my head around utilizing a format that is so limiting. yet another part of me feels as though if a journal like this gets someone writing at all… then it’s a good thing.
Have you ever tried one? Finished one? Know anyone that used them? I’m really curious…. The closest thing to a themed journal that I use is a plain lined journal that I call my “Book of Lists.”
The Quo Vadis Memoriae journals are not currently imported into the US but are available in Canadian specialty shops and also online in the UK.
Pocket, Purse or Portfolio?
Our blogger friend and regular Rhodia snapper Margaret Mendel is hanging out in France for 15 days eating real French bread with butter and jam – (Just please tell me that’s not a mini jar of Smuckers!) She mentioned how the Bloc Rhodia N° 11 fits perfectly in her back pocket and it prompted me to wonder…. with the plethora of sizes and shapes of available Rhodia products, which size goes with you everywhere, and how do you carry it? I only carry a bag on rare occasions and even then I’m not very organized. My tablets and journals tend to migrate towards the bottom of the bag and always elicits a “Wait a sec, I’ve got some paper right here!” which is often followed by my dumping the contents of my bag onto the floor. Bag is typically some sort of mini-backpack, or my gently used (for $20) Timbuk 2 Metro bag in orange and teal.
My real problem is picking only one or two tablets for the road….
