Okay here goes, first post!

First Post

I have always loved stationary since I was a little girl.  Ringbinders, pens, pencils, you name it I bought it!  As I got older, I still liked to use nice writing paper and buy classier style pens.  But in 2010 I got my first Filofax!  It was nothing flash, just an A5 Black Identity that cost around £25, but I loved it.  I loved the feel of it and stuffed it with everything I could think of.  It wasn't long before I bought another, then another... at one time I bought 3 in one week but I always managed to find a use for them.  I am now the proud owner of 21 Filofaxs, these days, only a few get used and the others sit safely on a shelf just waiting their turn.

I would love to hear what your favourite Filofax is.  My favourite A5 is the Malden and favourite personal size is Holburn....just love all those extra pockets in the Holburn.  I haven't come across many blogs about that one....I think I may do one over the weekend on it.

  1. Wow you have a lot! :) Good to have another blog about Filofax and stationery to read! :)

    I now have an A5 zipped Holborn in wine - need to do a post about it as I only just got it and have now been using it for a week!

    Also got a pocket Malden in Crimson and that also needs posting about!

    Loving them both! :)

  2. My first reply...thank you ever so much! x

    I was very torn between getting the A5 Malden and the A5 Holborn ...I just adore the Holborn pockets... I think it will be next on my "wanties" list!

  3. Well, not that I'm about to enable you or anything but... I got my Holborn with a nice discount from City Organiser don't forget you can get a Philofaxy 10% extra off (even on sale prices!) if you order from them online! They are very quick and helpful!

    After seeing an A5 Purple Malden in City Organiser when I visited last Friday and I'm glad I didn't order it! However, if there was ever a crimson A5 Malden, then I would totally snap one up! :)

    I look forward to more posts about your Filofax and setups :)

  5. Personal size favourite is Malden but A5 I have a red chameleon which rocks. Very bright and in your face but she's currently on summer break so I can fit a camera in my bag as well.

    1. I read a blog with an A5 Chameleon in it, it looks pretty awesome, very tempted to get that one next. Normally I don't like red that much, but that Filofax in red is fab

  8. Ooh - nice collection!!! I have everything in my A5 Holborn Zip at the moment, and love it - but as for which is my favourite, I guess that changes with my mood (and as I remember another one tucked away in the back of a cupboard). The Finchleys are lovely and soft, the Dominos are so practical, but my A5 Ochre Malden is probably the winner at the moment... so soft, looks very well loved even when brand new (and even more so when it's got a couple of scratches) :o)

  9. Lovely collection! As for my favorite....too hard to say. At one point I would have said a Personal Amazona. Right now i'm using a beautiful black personal Holborn but am lusting for a Personal Ostrich in Buttercup.

    Looking forward to reading more of your posts!

    1. Thanks you DEM. I haven't seen the Personal Ostrich yet, that's one I will have to look out for.

  10. Wow, lovely collection! :)
    My favourite has to be Malden, but I'm undecided about whether A5 or personal is the one for me.

  11. Thanks Anita, I love both Maldens too, but I wouldn't be able to carry my A5 Malden around with me, it's bulging and really heavy.
