Etsy Finds: Back To School Notebook

I had what Oprah calls an "a ha!" moment yesterday.  I was considering hiring a personal organizer and wondering why my apartment was so unorganized when I realized my year had no cycle.  I wasn't going back to school, and thus, I didn't have that pre-back-to-school organizing frenzy: That time of year when you stock up on Trapper Keepers, clean out your desk and closet and get ready to start a new year.   Take advantage of this new start, young students! There are lots of items on Etsy that can help you stay organized.  This notebook by sallybean is a journal, mini filing system and organizer all in one! Sally also offers custom covers, so send her an Alchemy request if you're interested!  See more of my favorite handmade and vintage organizing items below.

chikabird.etsy.com sells reusable notebook covers that hold all different sizes of the cahier moleskin journals. They're really worth checking out, as they're perfect for note-taking as well as drawing! Built in pen holder to boot!

Always looking for an excuse to buy notebooks (and post-its, pens, erasers, sticky labels...) and moving house this weeks means I'm on a fresh start- best time of all to get organised!

Back to school is a good target market, thank you. Maybe next year I can be ready.

Awesome! I think I'm gonna treat myself to a few "back-to-school" goodies!

Back to school is my favorite time of year; I definitely need to add some hand-made items to my school bag this year. Feels like the grad-student thing to do, haha.
