<p>Summer is officially on — and so is a sunny, brand-new notepad range from<a href="https://jfalkner.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title=" J. Falkner"> J. Falkner</a>. But these aren&#8217;t just <em>any</em> notepads — these were lovingly created by self-professed, professional notepad addict Jason Arbuckle specifically to bring some happy order to your life and your stationery. </p>



<p>&#8220;There’s something about the sense of possibility when I have a fresh new page,&#8221; he confessed to me, &#8220;which I means I’m always buying a another one!&#8221;</p>



<p>Thus the octet range — AKA Happy Notepads from J.Falkner — came to life. But just like all the wares from this Palm Beach house of stationery, Jason wanted to put his signature spin on them. “Since I’m such a fan, I wanted to be sure ours were special, otherwise why crowd the market?&#8221;</p>

<p>Any stationery product really begins and ends with paper. “We looked at lot of papers, and eventually chose a heavier-than-usual paper, with a lovely smooth finish,&#8221; Jason explained. &#8220;Writing on them is a joy, and the extra weight of the paper means they can double as little notes, too.&#8221;</p>

<p>“And, since our brand is “made in sunshine” we wanted them have a fresh, colorful palette,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Pink watermelons against a mint background, lime green palm tree on blush pink, and even a rainbow bordering one of our designs.&#8221;</p>

<p>“The yellow sunshine notepad might be my personal favorite — it’s a bright sunny way to get the day’s to-do list started.&#8221; </p>

<p>&#8220;And the watermelon notepad makes me want to buy all sorts of fresh fruit and veg this summer, so it’ll be a great market pad.&#8221;</p>

<p>“We’ve also taken one of our bestselling quote cards and re-imagined it as a notepad. What better way to get started than with a few choice words from Jack Kerouac?&#8221;</p><div class="inline-post clearfix"><div class="see-also byline">See also</div><div id="block-wrap-99672" class="block-wrap-native block-wrap block-wrap-23 block-css-99672 block-wrap-classic columns__m--1 elements-design-3 block-ani block-skin-0 tipi-box block-wrap-thumbnail ppl-m-1 clearfix" data-id="99672" data-base="0"><div class="tipi-row-inner-style clearfix"><div class="tipi-row-inner-box contents sticky--wrap"><div class="block block-23 clearfix"><article class="tipi-xs-12 clearfix with-fi ani-base tipi-xs-typo split-1 split-design-1 loop-0 preview-thumbnail preview-23 elements-design-3 post-10012495 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-favorites tag-noted-2 tag-archer-paper-goods tag-broadway-paper tag-chandra-greer tag-dan-collier tag-daniel-richards tag-design tag-greer-chicago tag-greeting-cards tag-kate-strzok tag-louie-awards tag-notednoted-awards tag-pei-sim tag-sarah-schwartz tag-sf-now tag-stationery tag-stationery-blog tag-stationery-design tag-stationery-designer tag-thank-you-stationery tag-the-merchant-atlanta tag-the-paper-craft-pantry" style="--animation-order:0"><div class="preview-mini-wrap clearfix"><div class="mask"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/the-notednoted-awards-are-on/" class="mask-img"><img width="100" height="100" src="https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/noted%40notedmailer-2-1.png?resize=100%2C100&;ssl=1" class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" /></a></div><div class="meta"><div class="byline byline-2 byline-cats-design-4"><div class="byline-part cats"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/category/favorites/" style="color:#b79b0d" class="cat">Favorites</a></div></div><div class="title-wrap"><h3 class="title"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/the-notednoted-awards-are-on/">The Noted@*Noted Awards Are On!</a></h3></div><div class="byline byline-3"><span class="byline-part date"><i class="tipi-i-calendar" aria-hidden="true"></i> <time class="entry-date published dateCreated flipboard-date" datetime="2023-01-09T13:47:05+00:00">January 9, 2023</time></span><span class="byline-part likes-count"><a href="#" class="tipi-like-count " data-pid="10012495"><span class="likes-heart"><i class="tipi-i-heart-o" aria-hidden="true"></i><i class="tipi-i-heart" aria-hidden="true"></i></span><span class="tipi-value">0</span></a></span></div></div></div></article></div></div></div></div></div></tipimidc>
