Set #1: sold

Set #2: sold

Set #3: sold

Set #4: available

Set #5: available

Set #6: available

Each set includes:

• One piece of 100+ different papers: Full list of included papers will be added as a comment below. Most papers are approximately 3.5 x 5.5 inches except for cover stock papers which are approximately 3 x 5 inches. There is some variation due to source sheet sizes and hand-cutting.
• One Page Layout Sampler pocket-sized notebook: 3.5" x 5.5", featuring a wide range of page layouts to try out and test. Custom notebooks with your choice of paper and page layout will be listed in the near future.

Condition: New; Papers were prepared by hand. The layout sampler notebook was printed, folded, and saddle-stapled by hand.

I will close the listing once all six sets are sold.

I’ve been working on a handmade, customizable notebook project called Pocket Cache. As part of that project, I’ve collected 100+ different papers, ranging from Tomoe River and Clairefontaine to Strathmore and Crena, along with pages pulled from notebooks and pads such as Leuchtturm and Rhodia, so people can test and compare papers directly.

Each sampler pack includes one piece of all 100+ papers.

Each paper has a unique 4-digit ID written lightly in pencil so it can be matched to a reference list provided as a link.

The included Page Layout Sampler notebook features a wide range of layouts, including dot grid, lined, and graph, along with some less common layouts that I hope people will find interesting and useful. See photos linked above for page layouts featured in the notebook.

In the future, I plan to list Pocket Cache notebooks that can be ordered with one or more of these layouts, using a choice of papers from a curated selection. Not all of the papers in the sampler will become permanent notebook options; I’ll narrow the list over time based on availability, suitability, and demand.

ETA (May 13) - originally listed 6, but I increased it to 8 (putting them together now and will ship on Tuesday).

I've had this idea for a while but not sure if there would be any interest. I've been making my own notebooks for a while now and would like to try some different things in terms of papers, page layouts, etc. To keep things somewhat consistent I'm thinking of just pocket size for now. I'm figuring this out as I go, so I haven't gotten as far as having a cost or subscription model yet. If there is interest I'd love to hear your thoughts. I'd even be willing to to get this started with as little as one or two brave pioneers to see if I can make this work and keep it interesting!

Just curious what everyones top choice is! If "other" let me know what by leaving a comment!
