Commonplace book flip-through | All my different notebooks over the years

Hi everyone, thank you for watching this new video, I hope you enjoy it!
I owe a lot to Megan Rhiannon for inspiring me to evolve this commonplace system - ‪@MeganRhiannon‬ here on KZbin.
The Kraft paper notebooks are from Paperchase (no longer available sadly). The A6 notebook is a Midori with grid pages, I got mine from The Journal Shop. My Hobonichi Weeks is a regular (not a mega) and I got it directly from Hobonichi in September 2022.
I have a Patreon now! If you like knitting, planners, stationery... pretty much all the things I talk about here on this channel then I think you'd be at home in our little community over there 🥰

Megan's slowly converting us all to her system. I've been obsessed with her commonplace journals and will start mine very soon! Amazing journals and you inspired me to use my own hobonichi cousin as a memory keeping planner. And thank you, I'm so happy with it!

[@bronteswannick]

She really is, it makes SO MUCH sense! Ahh thank you so much, that's so great 🥰

[@rocketgirlygirl8658]

exactly! i’ve been journaling on and off my whole life, consistently for 5 years, and i’ve finally started converting my most recent journal to commonplace journaling 😂

[@coffeecoffeecoffee0]

megan's system is so perfect i finally decided to get a commonplace book and this video really encouraged me too

[@bronteswannick]

Ahh that's so nice to hear, I'm so glad! Her system really is great, it works really well for me 😊

[@Shmyrk]

As in Megan Rhiannon? Would you be able to point me to a video wherein she breaks down her system? (If not too much trouble)

[@audreyhoff5317]

My 2 favorite things!! Sewing and knitting! I loved seeing all your notes and sketches and plans! Very interesting and informative. Will be stepping up my record keeping on those subjects now. Thank you so much!

[@bronteswannick]

Ahh yay thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked seeing them! I hope you enjoy your lists/collections etc 😊

[@pattimoose1]

I feel like I found a fellow from my tribe!! I sew and knit and I'm a stationary nerd too! And I love planners and my commonplace books!! Loved your video!!! ❣

[@bronteswannick]

Ahh welcome in 🥰 they’re definitely the best hobbies to have for sure haha!

[@stitchingandstuff3930]

I love this. I love to cross stitch and crochet so writing down my ideas for projects is a great idea xx

[@bronteswannick]

Ahh yes for sure! I'm really good at thinking of good ideas and then forgetting them if I don't write them down, so it's definitely helpful 😊

[@autisticbucky]

this video was so inspiring Brontë!! 💛 as someone who just began a new commonplace book i loved seeing how you’ve used yours over the years and through different notebooks. thanks sm for sharing as always✨

[@bronteswannick]

Thank you so so much Bucky 🥰 yay how exciting! I will keep an eye out for little snippets on your instagram, I'd love to see it ❤️

[@Shmyrk]

Is your name Buck?

[@autisticbucky]

@@Shmyrk it’s Bucky

[@Shmyrk]

@@autisticbucky nice! My names buck. High functioning ASD interested in notebooks and commonplacing too lol

[@autisticbucky]

@@Shmyrk hi!! what a fun coincidence :)

[@taleof1000stars]

love the way you've made these notebooks for the things you like or just planning/researching stuff I do have a habit of doing the same so glad to found your channel 💛

[@bronteswannick]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@rocketgirlygirl8658]

First video I’ve seen and I’m hooked! It’s nice to see other people talking about content creators I also know lol

[@bronteswannick]

Ahh thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! 🥰

[@maiir]

ahhh i love commonplacing content!! i find it sooo interesting to see what other people regard important enough to collect -- it probably took me over an hour to get through this video because i kept pausing and reading what you had written 👀 and i'm so excited you mentioned the olive tn because i also pre-ordered one (the regular size) and it was all i could think about last week!! i'm actually going to be commonplacing in mine because my current one book system (planning/journaling And commonplacing in a single a6 hobonichi) is not working for me and of course i can't simply go back to the pocket leuchtturm i was using last year when there's a new beautiful notebook around..... i can't wait to see yours!! :-) oh and that tomitaro makino notebook would make a stunning commonplace book!

[@bronteswannick]

Thank you for such a lovely comment 🥰 I'm really glad you enjoyed the video! Oooo so exciting, I think the TNs would make fantastic commonplace books! I think that would be so great 😊 I know right, they're so beautiful, it's very hard to resist something new and exciting! Yes I think so too, and I also think the Tomitaro Makino cover will look wonderful with the olive leather!

[@naraufiqa]

Its been so long that I've seen someone just purely enjoying their hobby 😮 I'm recently interested in knitting but tbh I don't know where to start and what do I need so they're all just buried back in the thoughts lol

[@bronteswannick]

Aww thank you 🥰 there is sooo much to know with knitting for sure, but I think a great place to start would be to decide what sorts of things you want to knit, and you can build skills based on that!

[@lil.ikuraa]

I absolutely love this video! Thank you for being so kind and sharing your commonplace system :)) This chatty video made me realize that I also have similar interests that I sort of cycle throughout the year. It would be cool to mark them with stickers like you (and Megan) have done. P.S. You’ve got me intrigued about Enola Holmes so I’ve added it to my watchlist. Hahaha.

[@bronteswannick]

Ahh i’m so glad you like it, thank you for watching 😊 that sounds like a nice idea! If you watch Enola Holmes I hope you enjoy it!

[@marsaaas]

Organized commonplace books looks so good. But sadly they dont work for me.. I feel like I loose everything when I try to organize it. For me only chaotic works. But I like you videos also Like your aesthetic choises(?) Thank you for video (If I made any mistakes in my comment please dont mind them. I dont really know English and watch english content to practice)

[@bronteswannick]

Thank you so much for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😊 I think I'm leaning back towards chaotic with these sorts of books too, I think next year will be less organised!

[@Yessica13]

I love the mushroom washi tape in your weeks

[@bronteswannick]

Thank you! I think I got that one at a Comic Con I went to a few years ago 😊

[@4061earthabcdesong]

Hi. I watched your channel for the first time. Your notebooks are interesting - I mean full of happy memories😊 12:50... I saw some loose paper slips... Did you keep them this way? Why didn't you use some washi tape to attach them to the notebook. Just being curious 😅

[@bronteswannick]

Thank you 😊 ahh yes it was a loose bit of notepaper that I do keep in there, i’m not really sure why i haven’t fixed it in properly! It seems to stay in there without me needing to!

[@moanabrave8803]

Dear, from where did you buy this Notebook? What's the price 😢

[@bronteswannick]

The brown paper ones aren't available anymore, but the A6 with the white cover is a Midori one, and then the one with the yellow cover is a Hobonichi one. I think the price will depend on where you buy them! Hope this helps though 😊

[@MizuMint00]

Where did you get the dot stickers? I've been looking all over for a deep color like the one you use in your Weeks but can't find any.

[@bronteswannick]

They are from Stationery Pal, they come on a big roll 😊

[@MizuMint00]

Thank you!

[@WordShaker95]

What cover is on the midori? The blue bit

[@bronteswannick]

It's an A6 Hobonichi one 😊

[@beatriceserrano7208]

Can u share with us the books u never heard of? I would love to check them out

[@bronteswannick]

Would you be able to point me to the rough area in the video where I mention them? I filmed this a long time ago so I'm afraid I'm not sure which bit you're referring to 😅
