Little Bird Singing

I’m always on the lookout for new sources of journaling notebooks. My preferred format are A5, soft-cover, thread-bound and saddle-stitched, with quality lined paper that can hold ink from my stamps but write well with my pencils. I prefer less than 100 pages as this allows me to put them into my notebook holder and still have room for adding lots of journaling ephemera and art inside, which tends to puff them up a bit. Something I really like is finding unique and interesting sellers, and a recent one I found was Little Bird Singing.

Little Bird Singing specializes in hand-bound, custom-made notebooks in the exact form-factor I prefer. The seller works through Etsy, but has a web address as well. The notebooks are made-to-order, so available in just about every standard format out there.

Each notebook is thread-bound with a heavy linen and finished with a square trim. There are a variety of lovely custom designs on the covers, including a curious one that says “UKPA 2020,” which I haven’t figured out and Google doesn’t help with.

There was very nice paper inside. I have yet to fill it in with anything but pencil, but the descriptions and reviews indicate that both fountain pens and pencils take well to it.

It will be a great accompaniment to any journaler out there. I recommend them!
