A vintage one : The ASCOT!

The vintage Filos seem to find ME on Ebay :o)
The day the Ascot arrived it was pretty cold outside...and I was not at home.So the postman deposited the parcel at the cellar-door...it was almost frozen...!!I wrapped the poor thing into a warm towel and placed it near the heating...then it enjoyed a massage with a niiice leather-cream,that I used for the saddle of my horse...and then I polished it ;o))
The Ascot has a very nice leather.It arrived in a good used condition,very flexible,smooth leather...
Right now it holds my old calendar,because I have to keep them for 10 years.So it will stay busy,because I often have to look at older phone numbers,patient-appointments and so on :o)

P.S.Thank you "Maus" :o))

Scrapbookpaper-haul ...

 Frontside and backside of the paper...they sold some single paper-sheets,for 0,39 cent

 Also frontside and backside.The sheets are much bigger,so they sold them for 99 cent

The small paperpad includes some really nice paper,that I already made some deviders from :o)

Beautiful Chameleon A5

Suddenly everyone seemed to own Chameleons...
Then I realized that they were on sale,on some Filofax sites.
Again I watched a billion youtube videos,to get a closer look to that binder.
All I was longing for,at that moment,was an aqua coloured Chameleon,in A5 ;o)
The best video at that point came from Australia,from "lifeiscrafted"-Arienne!She made such a nice video,I love,love,love it!!On that video I could see the beautiful colour of the Chameleon raspberry!!!
Then I was soooo lucky,to get one for 50%less *LOL*,that seems to be my favorite "left off"!

The pocketsize Chameleon is very,very flexible.When the A5 arrived,I was a little surprised about the stiffness of the binder - but to me it is perfect,because I like them a bit stiffer,when I have them on my knees,while I´m writing.
I thought it will never lie flat,but it does :o)
For a very brief time I thought about making this one my work-Filo - but that won`t work at all - the Finchley is too perfect,like it was just made to fullfill my needs!

Now this Beauty is my Family&Home-Binder.
It keeps my diary,that I write almost every day.
It keeps all the news from my cute little boys (Noah is 5 years old,Tammo 1 year and 7 month).
It keeps lists of music,books,films,wishlists...stuff that I always need to buy-and often forget (I should better write that down in my wallet-Chameleon*LOL*),some lists of blogpost,that have to move in another Binder...and stuff that I often forgot to do...in house&garden :o)

The raspberry colour is soooo beautiful!It is brightning up the darkest day...and night - it`s like a smile and a kiss :ox

365/30 January's list :o)

My youtube videos :o)

In  Novembre 2012 I made my first youtube video.
I was really surprised,how many videos existing,about Filofaxes!Soooo...because I am not shy,I decided to give it a try!
My very first try was a ... desaster :o))I filmed with my tablet-pc,not knowing,that it is possible to film and watch myself on the screen,too!So...I talked and filmed,and talked...and made kind of a "breast-video"!!Without face,just the very top of the Filofax *lalala*
In Germny we say : "Frauen und Technik" ;o))

The first one was about the Finchley A5,the Holborn,the pocket Malden and pocket Finchley...
And while I recorded the "breast-video",my Babycat Coco was sitting on the shelf behind me and touseled my hair....

I filmed another one about the Malden A5 "Miss Piggy" and the A5 Chameleon....

Hope you`ll enjoy!

The Maldens...Miss Piggy!

When I was going to order my Finchley A5 from the German Filofax-site,I clicked the Malden A5 again and again...but the Finchley was 50% less priced and I never had a Filofax before....
Now,during the "Christmas-Powershopping -Area",I recognized,that they sold out the vintage pink ones at "Karstadt" in Hamburg.First I got just a pocketsized Finchley for my Mom - and drove home....
You can imagine...I WASN`T ABLE TO SLEEP ANYMORE*LOL* There were 3 Malden A5`s left...it took a week for me to get there again,because I had to work and my boys were sick,so my Mom was sitting them,while I went to work.At least I need 1,5 hours time to get there&back.It was not possible.
When I made it to "Karstadt" I was sure that there`s not a single Malden left - but they were still there!!
They were priced 69 EUR,but at the counter I just had to pay 59!!!
This one has a nice leather.The other 2 had this sort of "plastic-finish",that I don`t like at all(my pocketsize shows that...).
The colour...I don`t really like the vintage-pink-colour.Soooo...
Let me introduce you to : "MISS PIGGY" :o))

 Miss Piggy keeps my Stabilo-pens(in the zip-pocket),my postcards ...............

 and my selfmade deviders and templates .....................................

 and A LOT of new to-do-sheets,for my working-Filo....................

 She`s my creative-Filo,I guess......................

 Here in comparison....look at the leather - do you know what I mean?

 My Mom brought me this nice zipped pocket from Usbekistan :o)

When there were 3 A5`s .....Malden,Finchley&lovely Chameleon....... :o)))

The RIGHT personal size :o)

After choosen the wrong personal sized binder,I thought that the personal size is simply not my size.
That I was mistaking was coming up,when I melted away by seeing the Malden personal in ochre colour.
I - just - needed - it !!!
I don´t have to make it fit to my needs - the Malden fullfilled my needs right away *swooooosh*
It is soooo adorable :o))
I stuffed it to the brim...bought me a Hamburg map(that I always wanted...),got me a buisiness-range-calender...made new deviders,which I laminated.
I love the zip-pocket on the left side,because there is NO penloop in the way*juhuuuu*

I found some beautiful things from "Rosina Wachtmeister": The ballpen,the magnetic-clip...
And it matches my Chameleon soooo gooood!
