Note to Self.

While traveling in Rome, I found the perfect supplì recipe in an unassuming cafe on Via di San Francesco a Ripa, near the Pantheon. This was before cell phones. Depressingly, my journal had been lost in customs. You could imagine my panic. Luckily, there was a stationery store nearby. As it turned out, I made two discoveries that day and was reminded that… if it’s worth putting pen to paper, it’s worth doing it in style.

Italian Leather Journal (No. 5699). An impeccable vegetable-tanned and hand-washed vacchetta leather binding surrounding unlined, rich, thick, ivory paper. The traditional wrap-around tie closure will securely hold your thoughts, ticket stubs, and sketches. Now all you need is a quality fountain pen. Made in Italy.
