I was surprised and happy to find fabric covered journals from John Robshaw over at my local Barnes and Noble store the other day. Unfortunately, the B&N website shows them here but they are not available online at this time. So while you're out and about this weekend, head over to your nearest B&N and storm the stationery section! I noticed about 6 lovely patterns available for lovers of ethnic prints and patterns (like me). Of course, I selected the blue/green ones.

They're $15 each and make for great art journals, travel books, diaries, inspiration books, anything really. Who doesn't love a pretty journal?
