I got this awesome little A5 Dingbats notebook for Father’s Day. Just a little larger than a Field Notes, and much thicker, with lay flat binding and a gorgeous vegan leather cover. Cream paper with a dot grid. I absolutely love the size; a very nice compromise between a Field Notes and a more serious sized notebook.

I’m still rocking the Mitsubishi 9852EW HB as my main pencil, with a Cretacolor pencil cap, and a pocket clip that acts as a slider to securely hold the cap in place.

I also received a new M+R brass bullet sharpener for Father’s Day, the kind with the little lanyard hole. I’m not sure yet what I’ll be tethering it to, but I’m thinking about adding it to my keychain, so I always have it with me.
