I like the whimsical and colorful simplicity of these notebooks from Jill Bliss. Available from Chronicle Books.

The Art of Laurel Burch

I recently noticed this beautiful notebook with art by Laurel Burch. Although you can't see it in this photo, there's also a Native American quote I love on the notebook: "The soul would have no rainbow if the eyes had no tears."

Laurel's site has more of her colorful and eclectic work. These two horse paintings are my favorites from her site.

Kate's Paperie

I love notebooks. Whenever I go to a bookstore, I am drawn to the notebook section to see the color, pattern, design and texture of the journals and notebooks. Although looking at notebooks online doesn't have the same tactile experience, it's fun to see some great designs like these notebooks from Kate's Paperie. The combination of warm colors and varying patterns is beautifully done.
