Holiday Wishlist: Quills' Notebook of the Month

You've heard me gush about Quills before.

The Locke Street Lettering Society may only be a few months old (beginning with Quills’ recent move from Hamilton’s historic Rock Castle to a neighbourhood with far more foot traffic), but Quills has been a hidden gem in the city for more than a decade. Co-owned by Jenn and James Lewis, Quills specializes in Chiyogami (a handmade screen printed Japanese paper), wedding invitations and hand lettering, and unique gifts, including jewellery and notebooks. Phyllis Macaluso, Quills’ in-house calligrapher, is a world-class hand-letterer, as you’ll see in her impressive resume. (via Paper Trail Diary)

Besides boasting the Locke Street Lettering Society and one of the most impressive storefronts in the city, Quills has also launched the Notebook of the Month Club, which gifts subscribers with a handmade 48-page notebook each month. Subscribers get the choice of blank, lined, or dot graph pages, and there’s a new cover design every month. The notebooks measure 5.25x8.25 inches and are staple bound. They’re the perfect gift for writers to jot down ideas or for readers to keep track of the books they’ve read. The best news is Quills is open today until 8 and Christmas Eve until 2.
