The Icing on the Cake..

Our Friday afternoon has just hit a high (as if it's not enough in itself that it's Friday afternoon). We have taken delivery of an exciting box from Buttercup Cake Shop, purveyors of fine cupcakes, courtesy of one happy customer. So thank you very much Annie Leibowitz, they are yummy!

A Most Notable User

Here's a quick photo of Mark Eley of Eley Kishimoto with his Limited Edition Flash Print Journals. Finished one is on the left, sparkly new one on the right. Aren't they fab? How could you fail to be inspired?

What's in your NM notebook?

So many beautiful notebooks and journals go out of the door here at Noble Macmillan never to be seen again and we have always wondered what happens to them. Let's face it, we're nosy. We want to have a look and see what you've been up to. Whether you're a list maker or a doodler, an appointment keeper or a faithful journal updater. It's fun to think of all the treasured journals travelling the world in handbags and suitcases, safely sitting on bookshelves or bedside tables. So we were excited to receive these photos from a customer who uses hers to keep a track of what's in bloom in her garden. Every week she fills in a diagram of what's out and what she needs to do, colour coded of course. It's genius. Just wondering what's in yours?
