Hand-sewn notebooks and the right envelope for them.

A quarterly parcel of hand-bound stationery from Tasmania — one Coptic or saddle-stitch notebook, a set of matched envelopes, a sheet of writing paper and one small tool or object related to writing. Papers are chosen for how they take fountain pen ink, which is tested rather than assumed. Everything is sewn by hand with linen thread. Quarterly rather than monthly because a notebook takes longer than a month to fill and it seemed dishonest to pretend otherwise.

Spring goes out on 1 September. It is the biggest one I have made — a 96-page long-stitch notebook, twelve envelopes in two sizes, a sheet of blotting paper, and a glass dip pen from a maker in Launceston.
Price stays the same. The dip pen was a trade: she wanted notebooks.
What went out, month by month
A Coptic-bound notebook with a Huon pine veneer cover, plus a bone folder made from the offcut.
Four papers, one notebook, and a card showing how six inks behave on each.
Saddle-stitch notebook in three blues, with envelopes lined in the same papers.
