Anyhow... I have mentioned my little writer's notebook in some of my posts recently. It's where I jot down the books I read and my Favorite Words list, both of which I have blogged on here. Well, while shopping at the Barnes & Noble store something caught my eye. It was a shelf of leather journals. They were all so pretty and soft! Vintage looking, too. :)
So I finally chose one that I really like. It has old-looking handwriting on the cover, but I can't understand it because it is Italian (that just adds to the coolness!). It comes with a cute little ribbon on the side and a ribbon bookmark attached to the binding. It is SO adorable and SO my style.
Here it is: My new writer's notebook on the left, and my old one on the right. See the difference?
My new one is so much fancier and prettier :) I was flipping through it in the hotel when a card came out of it that said:
"Caro Lorenzo Scrittore Leather Journal
The cover of this journal is graced by a reproduction from an actual letter written in 1896 Perugia, Italy. The Caro Lorenzo (Dear Lorenzo) salutation, gives an endearing feeling of friendship dating back more than a century as well as displaying the lost art of letter writing.
The journal utilizes a unique transfer printing technique with an antiquing process. The leather is genuine nubuck and the pages are ivory colored and lined.
Handcrafted in Florence, Italy."
Isn't that so cool? I'm so happy.
