Each spiraled agenda is loaded with features that make it easy to gracefully plan your day—and plan ahead. Some of our favorites include: a “dates to celebrate” page, a “to-do for myself” section, a “must-see movies” page, and inspirational quotes to start each day. There’s even a “next week” section on Sunday pages, prompting you to start thinking about what’s ahead.

We especially like that Karen includes cute illustrations-turned-stickers, too. They’re a colorful way to mark holidays, appointments, coffee dates, and other special occasions.

And for more casual note taking, Karen also created an oversized, block notebook that’s completely Made in the USA.

Karen studied apparel design at RISD, but it wasn’t until she went to Stationery Show in ’99 that she started designing these functional, elegant agendas and notebooks. We’re glad she did.
