Noteworthy: From Aquarello to Zeichenblock

Dear Everyone ~

I’m reveling in refreshing and restocking the shop’s
assortment of Euro-format paper goods:
pads, notesheets & envelopes, and fabulous folders.
I truly love the proportions of the metric A-sizes.
And the colours!—from palest pink Rivoli notesheets & envelopes,
to the deep orange cover of the Zeichenblock pad,
to the kraft covers on the Aquarello and Schreibblock pads.

The A-size range is numbered in the “opposite direction” from U.S. sizes:

A4 refers to the metric letter sheet size: 8¼ x 11¾
A5-ish is approximately half an A4: 9⅜ x 6¾
A6-ish is approximately half an A5: 4⅛ x 5⅞

I’ve re-imported all three sizes of black Euro-folders in all
four colours of elastic closures: black, pale blue, deep pink & yellow,
each with a contrasting elastic closure.
These heavy paperboard folders are chic and sturdy and
perfectly protective. They are designed to hold Euro-sheets
neatly & sweetly. By the way, the A6 folder holds
postcards perfectly, as does an A6 envelope.

I continue to love using the Carta Pura pads
interchangeably. I find all three papers wonderful for brush & ink,
graphite, micron pen, marker, coloured pencil—and even watercolour.
