Pebble Stationery Cosmo Air Light x Liberty London

Pebble Stationery CO recently sent me one of their Cosmo Air Light x Liberty London Notebooks in Mabelle A5. I’m a sucker for hand made journals, and this one is gorgeous! This notebook measures 16 x 21.7 x 1.7 cm. Thanks to Pebble Stationery for sending this notebook over for review!

The paper is 75gsm Cosmo Air Light. This paper has become popular recently, especially since the news that Tomoe River paper is going through some supply issues.

The Cover:

This Liberty London Mabelle fabric was released in 2007.

Inside cover:

The inside cover is a thick cardstock.

This notebook lays completely flat and has a pink ribbon bookmark. Because the notebook is handmade, the edges of the pages aren’t perfectly aligned, but I enjoy the handmade look on the edges.

If you have not used Cosmo Air Light paper before, it has more tooth to it than Tomoe River paper has, but less tooth than Bank or Midori MD paper.

This CAL paper handles fountain pen ink really well, no bleed through or feathering. It also shows shading and sheen well.

I tried out Sailor Manyo Nadeshiko in a Pilot Vanishing Point Twilight with a broad nib and the shading is sooo pretty! This ink can be rather light in the lighter part of the shading, but the paper showed the shading without issues.

Overall, I love this notebook. The only thing I would change is the paper ruling, simply because I prefer dot grid paper. The Cosmo Air Light paper works really well, shows shading and sheen and the notebook cover is gorgeous. This notebook is currently out of stock in this cover, but there are quite a few other covers available, like this Persephone one that I’m drooling over!
