Before Breakfast Desktop Notepad: Salmon

I was skeptical about the size, but the thick toothy paper handles both my daily to-do lists and messy morning sketches without bleeding through. The salmon tone actually makes my workspace feel warmer, and it's become the first thing I reach for each day.

The pale salmon paper is such a nice change from stark white, and the toothy texture gives my pen just the right amount of grip. I’ve got one on my desk for sketching out rough ideas and it holds up beautifully even with a wetter ink.

I’m a bit of a stationery snob, and this notepad’s thick, toothy paper takes a fountain pen beautifully without any bleed-through. The pale salmon color is so much softer and more pleasant on my desk than stark white, and the large size gives me plenty of room to brain-dump my whole day.
