Artist Marge Defensor Manalaysay’s Design & Journal Book aims to “engage individuals, particularly Filipino children, in creative writing and illustration, to develop their compositional skills and enhance their imagination.”
The notebook (PhP550) has graphed, lined, and blank sketch pages made of high-quality paper. What we love most about it is its nature-inspired patterns: butterflies, birds, dragonflies, and flowers. Notebook lovers that we are, we just can’t wait to fill up these pages!

Marge, who specializes in designing stationery–we’ve featured her stationery boxes and canvas-covered pencil cases before–is a huge believer in designing for a cause. This season’s Design & Journal Book benefits the “Yamang Isip Children’s Journal Book Project.”
Catch Marge at the Rockwell Urban Bazaar tomorrow (August 15) until Sunday (August 17) at the Rockwell Tent. Bazaar opens at noon on Friday and 10 a.m. on weekends.
