four by three and a half inches

On sun-drenched afternoons, we recommend the following: staring at the sun through the gaps in your fingers, beating rhythms on your warm knees, reading a volume of short stories, counting dust through your eyelashes, and sucking on tiny bursts of fruit drops from the four by three and a half inch tin can that fall one at a time into your open sticky palm.

Birds & Co. is a papeterie and brocante in the heart of town where you can find our very own handmade notebooks, stationery and lovely vintage trinkets. Come visit our new bird nest made from paper, twigs and dreams !

wall of notebooks

Besides creating our own notebooks at Birds & Co., we have been filling our shelves with some of our favourite notebooks from around the world. We like learning the scientific names of birds, animals and plants with Imaginote and bringing them on field trips for tree frottages and pressed flowers. We also like to run our fingers over beautifully letter-pressed notebooks by Serrote, Portugal. Once in a while, we like to cover our eyes and place our finger on a random spot on the map, 'Oh, Iceland !' and write in about polar caps and long winters in our hardcover Cavallini & Co. journal. How about you?

write like Orwell

Joining the ranks of the famous five -- George Orwell, Sylvia Plath, James Joyce, William Shakespeare, and Sigmund Freud, our beloved Birds & Co. author pencils are now named after these top seeds -- *new* Rainer Maria Rilke, Enid Blyton, Jack Kerouac, Edgar Allan Poe, Anais Nin, Virginia Woolf, Franz Kafka, Jean-Paul Sartre, Charles Bukowski, and J. D. Salinger. Pick your favourite.
