coffee & commonplace ❀ my process, research in the library, new project

Hi! Welcome to some coffee & commonplace moments ❋ grab your favorite drink as well and join me!
I’ve been really loving my commonplace notebook (which, actually, is just the first half of my same Hobonichi cousin :p ). I can make more minimal pages and collect all sorts of information for personal use or work projects. It has also been super fun going to the library for extra research, and I’m happy to take you there with me in this video! I hope you enjoy it, grab your notebooks and pens, and feel free to start your own commonplace book as well ◡̈

Omg, thank you for the compliment! ❤ I like how you explained how you commonplace! 10:40 Your “reveal” page looked good. I’ve been considering adding pictures to my commonplace notebook. I probably will in the future. 😊

[@pommepalette]

Thank you Brittany!! you've been a great inspiration for planning and finding systems that feel easy and that make me get to work, so I'm really thankful for that ☺︎

[@CoffeeandPraise]

Great video! I really like the idea of adding photos to my commonplace book. I started one in April in a small pocket sized notebook I had. I think I will add photos and maybe other things in my next one. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@pommepalette]

Thank you! The pocket size is great though to transport in many places, i guess it's always the hardest to pick the perfect notebook ^^ glad the video helped!

[@barelybambino]

this video was so nice!! I loved the intro and your pages turned out lovely; I’ve been on the fence about commonplacing for forever but the more I see of it the more I’m tempted to try

[@pommepalette]

thank you! and yes honestly keeping a commonplace notebook can be as simple as you need it to be, there's no strict rule if you decide that ^^ I try to have fun in mine, only write what I'm passionate about and that's what matters!!

[@autisticbucky]

what a lovely video!! thank you so much for sharing your process, your commonplace book looks lovely 💫💛✨

[@pommepalette]

Thanks a lot! I'm glad you liked the video, I'll definitely share more about this commonplace book in the future ♪

[@alinesoares6637]

omg I love this video so much! Please, keep making more videos about commomplace books, you insppired me a lot to keep one too

[@pommepalette]

Thank you so much!! I'm glad you're thinking about starting yours as well, it's been a great tool ˚˖

[@nurme7]

Subscribed :) Your channel is so refreshing. I love how you explore the process, and put in use simple tools, instead of falling into the stationary products hoarding trend. Really inspiring.

[@pommepalette]

Thank you so much ◡̈ It's been nice to keep it simple indeed, and let myself be a bit more creative in my journal!

[@ningguangg]

Super happy to have found this video,. it's so relaxing and informative! Thank you for sharing! 💖

[@pommepalette]

Thank you very much, happy to know it helps ♪

[@PlanitSarah]

Loved your video and your idea about commonplacing on the blank pages of your Hobonichi! I started mine in September as well, so I have so many blank pages and didn’t know what to do with them. Please keep making videos like this 😊.

[@pommepalette]

Thank you, and yes! I thought I'd be too bad not to use those pages (the paper is too good), I'm glad it helped :)

[@SJ-dl6uc]

love your handwriting's overall aesthetic so much.

[@pommepalette]

Thank you :)

[@JustDianeLynn]

Beautiful pages! Very inspired to learn more about commonplace keeping. Thank you.

[@pommepalette]

thank you :) it is fun to start, and really satisfying to flip through the pages after a while, that's for sure!

[@carobrunaa]

loved this video!! i’ve been thinking of getting a commonplace notebook and this really motivated me to actually do it! new subscriber btw 🫶

[@pommepalette]

Thank you so much! I'm glad this inspired you, this notebook is really helpful and you make what you want of it, so that's a plus ◡̈

[@elixaaaaa]

[@AK-1404]

Just discovered your channel and I'm so glad I did! Can't wait to watch more of your videos in the future

[@pommepalette]

Thanks a lot! Can't wait to share more videos ❀

[@dezs-diary]

Loved the video! I really like how you use your commonplace book ☺️

[@pommepalette]

Thanks a lot! It hasn't been that long, but it's definitely been useful ✴︎

[@cynthiaakacyndsmith6539]

Well done, thank you for sharing. You can also put fun stuff over the red text that come with the book.. that no one cares about..

[@pommepalette]

Thanks for watching!! That's right, most of the times I leave the colored text cause it adds an interesting element to the page, and I also ask my friend what the quotes mean, it's fun to have different languages on there ♪

[@juliechang2337]

the crochet coaster is cute❤

[@pommepalette]

Thank you! I tried crochet this summer and liked it a lot ♡ probably will make more of different colors

[@mikaylasova7018]

I just found your channel and subscribed! I love your style!!

[@pommepalette]

Thank you so much!!

Beautiful library ❤

[@teiarrasmith2524]

Loved this video!!!! How do you print your photos?

[@knitwitchcraftingpodcast]

very off topic but your crochet coaster is so cute

[@pommepalette]

haha I'm happy you noticed it!! thank you

[@colleen523]

Hi there! Where did you get your dot stickers? Thanks!

[@MochaHoneyRose]

I would like to know too!

[@pommepalette]

Hello! So I found these sticker dots online very easily, the brand is called Ashton & Wright :)

[@LemmyCaution66]

I loved the video a lot and enjoyed the layout of your Hobonichi a lot. It’s the first time that I watched your channel but gosh your notebook is what I need. I use normal day planners to write about my music collection, technical drawings, programming… Started a long time ago, still enjoy it, and discovered washi tape but would love to buy myself a portable little printer (for book screenshots, CD covers…). Again loved your work a lot. I do have a question! Being from Belgium I would love to purchase an A5 Hobonichi notebook. But the ones I see on Amazon cost around 40 to 50 Euros. Is this a normal price? Now up to another of your videos 😊❤

[@pommepalette]

Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed watching the video! Yes it's always fun to print some things that are more specific to what you're writing about, using washi more for an accent ♪ Oh I'm from Belgium too! Half French half Belgian haha, so I'm currently in the US but it is around the same price (I did buy my Hobonichi planner on their website from Japan, so with shipping cost it is around the same). It is a budget, but honestly I have never worked with a paper so soft, I would say it is a great investment!

[@polymorphingworrywart]

does the elmers glue hold long term? ive tried glue sticks and the copy paper seems to just peel off the tomoe river paper after the glue dries

[@pommepalette]

For now it does! I try to really apply it well on the corners, maybe that's what's helped? I'm not sure, I will see in a few weeks if they still stick, but they hold pretty well so far!

[@LullaReads]

I use Amazon Basics glue sticks. my trick is to try to pull up the corners after gluing something down. If it comes up easily, it needs more glue.
