A Quick Trip to Boston

Levenger shopping bagThe Lovely Bride TM and I went down to Boston on Sunday to visit the NE Food Expo (you can read about the expo here) and make a trip to one of my favorite stores, Levenger. I picked up a few things that I needed, notepaper and Circa rings for a new notebook. Levenger is one of my favorite sources because the quality of the paper is so consistently high.

The Lovely Bride TM loves to get the shopping bags. They do make a great tote or gift-bag.

The paper is what Levenger calls “Freeleaf”, letter-sized loose sheets in 5 colors: blue, yellow, cream, green and gray. This 60-lb paper is firm & smooth for writing and the Cornell-style rule makes for an easy way to take notes, organize meta-data, and retrieve information.

I also picked up some of the 1″ diameter Circa rings to make a new notebook, and expand a notebook that I am currently using. These are also going to be used for a secret project that I am going to be doing at SOBCon this year (stay tuned for more on that).

I needed the larger rings for my Projects notebook, so that I could put some blank sheets and forms in it and add some more divider tabs.
