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 →
I don't normally use the personal size leather covers because I just find that they don't have enough room to write, but the Lancaster Traveler's Notebook cover was so tempting that I had to get one. I already have a personal cover for my address book, etc., but went ahead and switched the notebooks out... 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 ordered quite a few notebooks from Chic Sparrow late December and earlier this month. I'm a little backed up on unboxings but I'm getting there. This unboxing is of the Black Beauty Creme in the B6 size and the Dark Brown Scout in the narrow size. The Creme leather is their thickest leather. It... 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 →
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 →
