Fun New Journals from Subtleacts on Etsy

Being a seller on etsy has a few occupational pitfalls: one being that I regularly covet items popping up in my activity feed.  I can't seem to favorite these items fast enough, and often find that when sales are slow, I end up purchasing a favorited item in the hopes of cheering myself up and playing into the paying-it-forward etsy sales karma (if such a thing exists - it always seems to in my case.)


I have been admiring these lovely moleskine journals hand-stamped from rubber stamps that etsy shop owner Subtleacts designed and carved, and finally decided to get a couple for myself.  (Or my husband for Christmas - I haven't decided yet who they belong to, so shhh!  keep mum about it.)  I love her whimsical hand - each carving retains a sense of character and has just the right amount of positive and negative space in it.  Check this out:

 Mr. Hemingway Moleskine Journal by Subtleacts on etsy

Begging Dog Moleskine Journal by Subtleacts on etsy

They are super affordable at $9, the perfect size to shove in your back pocket or in your purse and are a must-have for anyone who wants to fly in the face of technology by admiring their own written words on paper and not a phone!  Keep all of your memorable, and (maybe not so proud) thoughts here.
