Beauty is in the details.

As many of you know, I visited France in June. The first few days of the trip I was in Paris.  And I was able to visit a number of stationery stores.  It was pure Heaven.  During one of my visits to Melodies Graphiques, I picked up this beauty.  It's a 100% cotton notepad made by Amatruda (La Carta di Amalfi) in Italy.  
The paper is exquisite. Almost too good to write on. I haven't used it yet, because I don't want to blemish it. I love looking at it in a pristine condition.
But the real reason I purchased it is the cover. It's an old map of parts of Paris. I thought it would be a perfect memento to remember the trip.
