I uploaded the video a week ago wanting to share the video and photos at the same time, but the photos were delayed because something else came up, and then couldn't decide if I should go ahead with the video and share the photos later. Finally decided to wait and do both video and photos... Continue Reading →
This video was uploaded a little late because I was out of town but here it is. I personally prefer thicker leathers but for some reason, this one speaks to me. I love the color and how pliable it is. The striations give this notebook character. It's just an overall happy little notebook. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ov5ftxcNzXg
I always take forever to upload videos, mainly because I'm just never excited about talking in them, but I feel like if I do unboxings, I kind of have to say something. I finally found the courage to do a voice over for this unboxing even though it's not my first time doing this. This... Continue Reading →
Getting my writing notebooks ready for 2021. This year, I felt a bit all over the place so I'm hoping these notebooks will help me get my writing groove back. Earlier in the year, I purchased an A5 Chic Sparrow Traveler's Notebook to house the A5 notebooks. Initially, I bought some cheap notebooks from Amazon... Continue Reading →
I've had this Duchess B6 for a couple of weeks now. It's a really nice sturdy leather even though it's quite thin. The color is a pinkish mauve. The photo is almost true to color. There is really no way to capture the true color of this leather, but it's truly gorgeous. Here's the unboxing... Continue Reading →

I purchased this narrow traveler's notebook from Chic Sparrow and have fallen madly in love. It's gorgeous. I currently have a similar leather, a Mr. Darcy Lemon Drop, purchased three years ago, which has patinated to a nice darkish yellow (photos of it further down). The leather of the Dr. Darcy and Austen are exactly... Continue Reading →
I began writing "Dear" letters to my daughters in hardcover notebooks in 2011 on and off. Recently, I merged their notebooks into softcover Moleskin notebooks and put them in a large traveler's notebook to keep them in one place. I sometimes include photos or bits and pieces of things they've written and tossed, even drawings... Continue Reading →
This pretty little thing came in the mail yesterday. It's a Chic Sparrow B6 Slim Folio in the color Huckleberry. It is from the Crème line, which is a thick leather. The Huckleberry B6 Slim Folio is different from what I expected. I thought it was going to be thick but it's been pressed very... Continue Reading →
I shared a few images on my Instagram of the Spice Latte Traveler's Notebook I purchased but here's a few more. I'm loving this TN so much. It's a very soft and pliable leather. It feels so good in my hands. The color is a light taupe but more on the brownish beige side. I... Continue Reading →
