Hello everyone -  welcome to Scribbles’ blog, we’re happy you’ve joined us!     Our stationery-loving-kitsch-toting bloggers will cover everything from the loudest cat’s meow in wedding invitations to the latest card designer who’s caught our eye.  We’ll feature artists with whom we’re smitten and innumerable crafty, paper loving topics across the board.  What better way to start than A - Z: the address book!

In a sad turn of events for the address book, blackberrys, cellphones, and email have been gaining speed, electronically threatening: “hey, pretty hand bound book, your pages are numbered!” (The address book replies “well, no, actually they’re alphabetized” but we’ll save that conversation for another post).  Yet Scribbles supports traditions in paper that are worth a teence of effort (like owning a mom and pop shop in the not so Golden Age of the Box Store) because these traditions often lead to artfulness and creativity.  We suggest keeping all of your important names, address, numbers, faxes, birthdays, and related notes in one of our fabulous address books.  This way if you’re traveling in a place without cell service you can rely on the usefulness of your address book or, if you happen to damage your electronics, your contacts will be safe, sound, and beautifully kept.  And for the plain simple fact that address books are totally rad.

Be it spiral bound (the impressive Redoute Tall), pocket ready (Botticelli’s stunning mini), or from Vermont (Heron Dance’s inspired watercolors) Scribbles is stocked with choices to keep the address book alive!  Oh - and might we suggest writing in pencil?  Best way to maintain these lovely books for even longer!
