As with our first two colors, “Grass Stain Green” 3-Packs were offered for presale to our mailing list and sold out in a matter of hours (You still haven’t joined our mailing list? Do it now, top left corner of the site).

But fret not, “Grass Stain Green” is still available via our FIELD NOTES COLORS subscription. Only 100 subscriptions are available, and going fast (the first two subscriptions sold out quickly, too!) Here’s how to get two 3-Packs of “Grass Stain Green” and reserve your next three quarterly limited-edition FIELD NOTES (and some other goodies).

While we’re typing here, we should probably let you all know that the summer “COLORS” limited edition FIELD NOTES will go on sale in the very near future. Subscribers, your two 3-packs will ship automatically. Mailing list subscribers will get first dibs on the rest. Our first two COLORS editions sold out before we offered them to the public, and these are the coolest yet, so if you’re not on our list, sign up now.

Big thanks to everyone who sent in a scan or photo of Field Notes in the latest issue of ReadyMade. Joseph sent us the above photo snapped by Casey Myers. Keep an eye on your inbox guys, we’re sending you and everyone else who entered before midnight Chicago time last night a free pack of stuff. And be sure to follow Field Notes on Twitter so you won’t miss out on other random mini-contests.

Thanks to Seth Neilson of Wasa Industries for this photo, which has nothing to do with anything, other than looking awesome.

Last week I headed off to New York City to check out the National Stationery Show. The show is huge and takes two days to really walk the whole thing, which of course, led to terribly mangled feet. But what’s a little pain in the search for knowledge, right?

Since I was in town, I took some time and set off on a tour to meet some of our FIELD NOTES retailers and get some shots of our products in the wild, on store shelves. (You can follow along on the map above)

First stop was TekServe, a very, very busy Mac repair and reseller shop in Midtown. The place was packed but I had no problem spotting the notebooks (above). I chatted with some of the really great people who work there and then was off to my next stop, the J. Crew Liquor Store in Tribeca.

This shop is located in an 184-year-old townhouse that for many years featured a tavern on the ground floor called “The Liquor Store.” The space is really cool, and here are our Field Notes on display (above). The folks there could not have been nicer. Cheers!

I then headed over to NoHo to see Save Khaki and The Smile. Save Khaki is this fabulous mens shop with a focus on great looking, very wearable clothing. Really nice clothing. I took a picture of the notebooks in action (above) and despite my mangled feet, I hobbled down two blocks to meet the folks at The Smile.

It’s a sweet combination of store and cafe that has a relaxed, laid back vibe in a very hip, well designed space. I spotted the FIELD NOTES (above) and chatted with the owners and staff and then hopped in a cab to see one of our very first retailers, Turntable Lab in the East Village.

The Lab features two locations right next to each other, one side is a record/DJ equipment shop and next door they sell all kinds of cool books, magazines and yes, our memo books. Good thing I stopped in as they were out of stock and I had a re-order within a half an hour.

I had big plans to get out to Brooklyn to see some of our retailers there but my dogs were tired and needed a rest. They are on my list for the next time I’m in NYC. Thanks again to everyone I met, a friendlier bunch of folks you’ll never meet.

NYC isn’t our only retail hotbed, check out our ever-growing list of retail friends around the world. If you know of a shop that could use some FIELD NOTES love, drop Michele a line at “wholesaleATfieldnotesbrandDOTcom”.

FIELD NOTES easily match with fresh Sicilian seafood. I took this on our holiday in Palermo, Italy just two weeks ago.

Thanks, Jan! Aside from having the most Dutch name ever, you have excellent taste in memo books. And you’re making us very hungry.
