I’m a bit of a sucker for Etsy, the Web marketplace for handmade goods. I can spend hours looking for that right pair of earrings, something in a specific color or theme, or artists in a particular locale. I just have to learn to hide my wallet before I window shop.

The other day, I ran across an artist in Etsy’s Featured Seller showcase: Jet Set Paper, by Noelle Griskey. (And I suppose if I paid better attention when looking through my June/July copy of ReadyMade magazine, I would have noticed that her work is featured there, too.) She hand inks Moleskine notebooks with your local (or favorite) airport code, and includes a few notecards with your telephone area code. They’re priced very reasonably, at $8.50. She’ll even do special orders, if your airport isn’t well known.



My favorite airport (so far) is the landing-strip-with-bar located on the Caribbean island of Guanaja. The island is a second home to me, so I have a sentimental connection to the airport. But the possibility of getting a journal with the GJA airport code, for a place that looks like the above picture, made me bust out the wallet and make a special order.



Even if you don’t long for that next trip through your home airport, it’s a great idea for a jetsetter friend or a recent college grad going on an international adventure.
