If you know me, you'll know that I can't resist a beautiful leather notebook cover for my notebooks. I ordered this one for myself for Mother's Day. It's an A6 size in the No. 10 style (which is a button closure) in the Secret Garden line and in the color rose, a pretty brilliant pink.... Continue Reading →
I think this is my most exciting unboxing. I've been wanting the April leather for a year now. It originally came out in 2022 but was sold out quickly and I wasn't quick enough to grab myself one. Chic Sparrow brought it back and I made the move. Here's the unboxing. Photos are below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMUrrlDpQnY
Last time I posted, my youngest daughter hadn't started school yet. Now, she's already two and half months in and coming upon her first PSATNMSQT test. Last year she took the PSAT, which was required by the school for the all the students to take. This year she qualified for the PSATNMSQT. Can you believe... Continue Reading →
Earlier this year, I shared an unboxing on video on Youtube of the three full-grain leather notebook covers above but didn't get the chance to share the photos (you can watch the video here >>> Unboxing 3 Notebook Covers), so here they are. Sugarplum B6 January (this is the name of the leather) A5: I've... Continue Reading →
By now you're probably super tired of seeing all these beautiful full-grain leather notebook covers. I'm obsessed by them and could never get tired of looking at them and touching them, so just bare with me. I'm still reading books. In fact, I'm reading two books right now: Bleak House by Charles Dickens and an... Continue Reading →
Daughter had a snow day today, which means no school. She's both excited and bummed. Excited because she can relax and not worry about doing homework, and bummed because she spent an hour yesterday making Crepes for French class and now she'll have to eat them by herself (and with me of course) or throw...

The Maverick leather by Chic Sparrow is one of my favorite traveler's notebook cover. It's a water buffalo leather with amazing lightning veins. It's also one of the thicker leathers they carry. I believe the Creme leather is the thickest. The Scout is similar to the Maverick except the inside pockets uses the Creme leather... Continue Reading →
The Creme line from Chic Sparrow is their thickest leather. It's a soft and pliable, supple full-grain leather with a decent amount of structure so it's not floppy. It feels so nice and sturdy in your hands. It also smells wonderful. I'm not advertising for them. I simply love this leather, and a few others,... Continue Reading →
We got snow today. It's beautiful but slippery. This is a view from the study, where I spend the majority of my time writing, recording, and crafting. Here's a video of my unboxing of the Austen Woodhouse Personal and Creme Huckleberry B6. They are both leather traveler's notebook covers by Chic Sparrow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikMXABdjj0Y I just... Continue Reading →
I've never been a fan of the color green for notebook covers, but lately it's been a color I'm drawn too. My first purchase of a green cover was the Glas Folio B6 from the Express line. I thought I was good with that one, but then the Gastaldi from the Artist line captured my... Continue Reading →
