Traveler’s Notebook 2020 and Meet-Up: Saturday, November 23, 2-4pm

The Traveler’s Notebook 2020 items are here, and are already flying off the shelves. In fact, many items went straight out of the boxes into smaller boxes for Canada Post or onto our holds shelf for people picking them up in store. It’s a crazy thing when I think back to our first days carrying Traveler’s Notebook and our teeny tiny display and its journey over the years.

Traveler’s Notebook Factories: Narita Airport and Tokyo Station

Traveler’s Notebook Factories: Narita Airport and Tokyo Station

In Tokyo, Japan, there are three Traveler’s Notebook Factories. The main Traveler’s Factory is located in a back alley in Nakameguro, a small district with many independent shops, studios and boutiques. We were fortunate enough to be able to visit and also meet with Iijima-san, the creator of the Traveler’s Notebook, and you can read more about that visit here.

Visiting The Superior Labor, Part 2: Staying in the Observatory

Welcome to Part 2 of our visit to The Superior Labor in Okayama. You can find Part 1 here. For some background information, since it’s been some time since our travel posts, this past summer, we visited Japan and Hong Kong. I had thought I was going to blog on the road, but couldn’t keep up—so here I am catching up.

Update from Tokyo

Update from Tokyo

The first leg of our Tokyo trip was making it to the ISOT Stationery Show—we stayed at a hotel quite close to where it was taking place, especially since we were arriving late at night in Tokyo, a completely new city for us.

Making it to Tokyo

We made it! It looked a bit hairy there for a minute, but we’re all here: all the luggage, most of our sanity, both children.
