Thanks again to all who entered our anniversary giveaway! Our winner, whom I’ve just emailed, is Jonathan R., who’ll soon be receiving his set of 12 Memoriae Notebooks.
We’ve also got two consolation prizes for runners up Matt A. (who’ll get the “My Hikes” notebook) and Shaynie M. (who’ll get the “My Dreams” volume).
Check back soon for more goodies…
So… it’s been six years! And a month or so. But you can’t control when inspiration strikes, so here we are on May Day with a special giveaway: a whole set of Memoriae notebooks for one lucky winner.
Memoriae are a set of journaling books that made in France, and we don’t carry them here. Each book is dedicated to a different theme — food, books, travel, and so on — and is the size of a small Habana, with 80g ivory paper.
Enter by Sunday, May 5 at midnight EST by completing the following form:
The inserts are on their way from France, and we expect delivery in early June. The second the products are in our warehouse and ready for sale we will announce it on the blog, so look for the announcement before mid-June.
We expect to have a page of these Exatime inserts on both exaclair.com (Exacompta brand page) and also on a special page on quovadisplanners.com. This page will show the inserts in stock and link to paperbistro.com, which is our e-commerce site.
We didn’t order a large amount of stock initially–but if there is interest we’ll keep the inserts in stock and look to expand in future months. Depending on demand, we will seriously consider making inserts here in the US.
The inserts are “Exatime 17 Etroit” Papier Ivoire, 170 x 98. They are made with Clairefontaine paper, 85g, so it’s good for fountain pens.
Here is what we ordered:
Ref 18544E – 2013 weekly view with notes
Ref 18511E – grid notes
Ref 18515E – ruled notes
Ref 18551E – ruled notes – 5 color sheets
Ref 18516E – address pages
Ref 18523E – address separators
More soon. Thank you for your patience!
Many thanks to all who entered and/or spread the word about our latest contest. We are pleased to introduce our planners to the following lucky winners:
This is a contest we’re planning to run again in the future, so check back if we whet your appetite and your name isn’t on this list. We’ll also run new contests soon for everyone to enter.
Here’s something else that ought to please any North American Francophiles out there… if you’d rather go Lundi à Dimanche than Monday through Sunday, you can visit our Canadian website, which sells directly to the public.
We got word earlier today that Blueline (Dominion Blueline) just purchased Letts of London and Filofax.
For this contest, we’d like to do something a little different: we’d like to give people who use other types of planners, or who switched to a digital calendar but are curious about paper, a chance to test drive a Quo Vadis and tell us how it compares.
Obviously, we’ll have to use the honor system here, but if you’re curious about our planners, or you’ve been trying to convince a friend to give us a try, now’s your chance! Enter by Sunday, April 28 at midnight EST by completing the form below.
This month, we’ll be giving 10 lucky people a chance to test drive the President, Minister, or Trinote.
UPDATE: Many thanks to all who entered! I’ve posted a list of winners here.
Two very lucky winners are about to find the task of locating their pens a lot easier: Nick K. and Jolene M.
By now, you shouldn’t be surprised to hear that we’ve got more up our sleeves, so check back soon for more great giveaways!
Quiver pen holders are described as “thoughtfully crafted, hand-made leather pen holders for your treasured notebook.” I would agree. They are lovely writing tools. Pen holders and notebooks compliment each other, and travel along together like good friends.
Quiver got its start from notebook users who were continually frustrated with losing their favorite pen at the bottom of a bag, or forgetting it on their desk at home. Clipping it to the notebook cover was iffy, since the pen clip could break or fall off. 
The pen holders are made in Mexico by the same leather crafters who make Saddleback Leather suitcases and travel bags. Quiver designers worked directly with some of the Saddleback Leather Co. people to gain their perspective on how to construct a leather product to last many years, even down to the type and strength of the thread and stitch count.
Quiver graciously donated two pen holders to raffle off with a Habana notebook. We have paired a black pen holder with a red Habana, and a brown pen holder with a black Habana. Both notebooks have 90g ruled sheets.
To enter this raffle, please enter your name, email, and preferred color in the form below.
Good luck to all the entrants! The raffle will be open until Friday, April 19th. The winners will be sent their prizes that afternoon.
You can see Quiver pen holders and photos of them with Habanas and Rhodia Webnotebooks here.
UPDATE: Many thanks to all who entered! Our winners have been posted here.
I have two signs of spring: robins in my backyard, and the first emails asking where can I buy a refill?!
I have seen my first robin (actually, ten of them!) and had my first message about refills. Spring is here. 
Here’s the answer: we are shipping Academic year (August-July) planners to college bookstores and retailers at the end of April. Calendar year (January-December) will start to be shipped to retailers on May31st.
Look for them on the shelves and websites about two weeks later.
Our website – quovadisplanners.com – is currently being updated with new cover styles and retail locations. Our annual update will be done in the next 3-4 weeks.
