[Tex/LaTex] Vertically align the bullet image and bullet text

graphicsitemizevertical alignment

After I change the bullet symbol of an item to be an image, it seems the bottom of the image is aligned with the top of the bullet text. A minimal example below (note.png):

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{blindtext,graphicx}

\begin{document}

\blindtext

\begin{itemize}
\item[\includegraphics{note}] \blindtext
\end{itemize}

\end{document}

itemize with graphics

I'm wondering if it is possible to top-align the image with the text.

Here's a solution using enumitem. There may be a problem with the amount of whitespace surrounding your image. I left it as is because I'm not sure what your thoughts are about that, but if you trimmed the image somewhat, it might look better. 

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{blindtext,graphicx}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\setlist[1]{labelindent=\parindent}
%\setlist[itemize]{leftmargin=*}
\setlist[itemize,1]{label={%
    \raisebox{-\height}[0pt][0pt]{%
      \includegraphics{note}}}}

\begin{document}

\blindtext

\begin{itemize}
\item \blindtext
\end{itemize}

% The whitespace problem
\fbox{\includegraphics{note}}

\end{document}
