Wonderful Mail!

I was lucky enough to win one of Iliana's handmade journals, and the little beauty arrived yesterday!Now, just look at the detail. Isn't it lovely? Thanks so much, Iliana! I adore it and now must go through the waiting period.

You know, that time after you have a new, blank journal, and you just can't bear to write in it? When you turn the pristine pages and fear marking on them because you might mess them up? Maybe this is not a problem for everyone, but I always go through this transition period while I gather the courage to actually WRITE in a new journal.

Here is the postcard that arrived with it - our old friend Nancy Drew! Just perfect.

  1. I'm so glad you got it and liked it! I hope inspiration strikes soon so you can enjoy those blank pages - I get that way sometimes too when I see all those blank pages just waiting for me :)
    Your pictures are wonderful!

  5. Isn't it stunning! And yes, I also have to wait before starting to write in a new journal. I've been that way ever since I can remember, even with new school exercise books, which is rather sad really!

  7. Ooops. Once again, I replied to comments and then hit close instead of publish.

    But...I do love my new journal! Iliana did a beautiful job, and like Maggie, I cherish it.
