The contest is now closed. Thank you to all who entered.
When I was contacted by Stephanie – Biffy Beans – about reviewing a webbie and doing a giveaway, I jumped at the chance. As a lover of notebooks and fountain pens, I have a special fondness for Rhodia products and this one did not disappoint.
First off it has a lovely sturdy cover, elastic closure, ribbon tab, and pocket in the back.
When I opened it I found smooth creamy blank paper. The journal itself lays flat for easy writing.
Finally I tested it out with a Lamy EF in Poussiere de Lune. It writes like butter across this paper. No bleed through, and some pretty shading emerged.
Overall this notebook is a clear winner and my new favorite.
Now if you would like to win one, please leave a comment. If you would like a second entry, please tweet about the contest or post to your Facebook page and let me know — I’ll put you down for a second entry. Once we have all the entries I will create a spreadsheet and use a random number generator to pick a winner.
Contest closes on Sunday, August 15, 2010 at 8PM CT.
Also please make sure to check out the Rhodia Facebook page as they are listing out all the places you can win your very own Webbie.
Finally…. you know it’s hot when spiders even look for the shade.
I decided not to feel guilty entering your contest…….. I love the way the ink looks on this paper!
The Notebook is beautiful. It makes me want to buy one if I don’t win one.
Rhodia makes some cool notebooks, and this looks like another one!
I’d love to win one of these! My sister has one, and I am supremely jealous.
Thanks for the review!!
I’d love a Webbie!
Fantastic review, btw.
Would love to win!
Lovely! I use Poussiere de Lune with a Lamy Safari. I’d love one of these.
I want one of these… That picture of the Webbie laying flat is wonderful.
Looking to try these guys out. Thanks for the offer! Rhodia does have great paper. Surprising how non-smudgy it is.
The webbies are wonderful! I’d like a shot at winning one. Thanks!!
I’d like a shot at a Webbie!

Who are you?
I like the paper you make
We were introduced
By a lover of mine
And now she’s gone
But I still have you
Claire Fontaine
Claire Fontaine
You seem to bring
The best out of me
And the things that
I write to sing
Claire Fontaine
Claire Fontaine
Are you a lumberjack or something?
Does your father own a forest
Are the nicest trees for choppin’?
Claire Fontaine
And Claire Fontaine
Your sheets are very smooth
I like to rub my pen across them
Do you feel the way I do
Claire Fontaine?
Claire Fontaine
You seem to bring
The best out of me
In the things that
I write to sing
Claire Fontaine
If newspapers used
Your paper for the news
Things would seem less terrifying
Just because of you
Claire Fontaine
And were you in a garden
When they said the war had started
Do you think you’d write a letter
That would start ‘my dear departed…’
Claire Fontaine
Claire Fontaine
You seem to bring
The best out of me
And the things that
I write to sing
Claire Fontaine
oooh-oh
Claire Fontaine
I’m going home for Christmas
They may refuse me entry
‘Cause you’re native to this country
Claire Fontaine
But as a foreigner relinquish
A pad of paper so distinguished
I’d say ‘never, never, never
I’ll take this pad of mine to heaven’
Claire Fontaine
Where maybe I would choose
To write a fan letter or two
I might write one to Andy Warhol
And the other one for you
And you could rest assured in knowing
They’d be on your paper too
Claire Fontaine,
Who are you?
Claire Fontaine
You seem to bring
The best out of me
And the thing that
I write to sing

I would love to win….
I would love the oppurtunity to win a webbie. Thank you and thanks to Stephanie for making this possible.
That is a wonderful spider picture and I enjoyed your comment about the heat & shade.
I would love to have one of these!
Nothing makes me happier than a bright, shiny, new, full of potential notebook. Love the look, love the layout, will be checking this one out soon.

Although I don’t use fountain pens I do use journels. love the butterfly photo’s.
Ooh, I love that it opens up so flat. As a leftie, writing in notebooks often drives me crazy.
Great review for a great notebook. Love these, especially with my fountain pens!
Well, I see you knit and spin Madame Purl! How wonderful! I would love to have two or more chances for a wonderful Rhodia book.
I am tweeting and putting on facebook.

A Webbie in a tree I’d like to win for me … for doodling and oogling too of course. Thanks for review and giveaway. I love the tree fungus umbrella. I’ll have to go look who’s hiding under mine.
You appreciate fiber arts AND stationary AND fountain pens?! Neat!
Thanks for the chance to win one of these great notebooks. Appreciate all your efforts.
Hm, I’d try a Rhodia. I’m a fan of Moleskines, and they look similar.
Would like to win
Unlined pages and lies flat — what a great combination!
Count me in!
Sure would love to try one of these Webbies!
I’ve yet to try out a Rhodia journal and greatly appreciate the opportunity of doing so.
Thank you kind.
I’d like to take my new J. Herbin ink for a spin on those webbie pages!
