ReplyDeleteTeo, picking a favorite is sooo impossable. I must confess am drawn more to the miniture/palm sized journals. The one I bought is to die for wonderful, and the one you have listed now with the leather lace with black accent piece is a for sure pick. Each Journal is so artistic and everyone i've showed your journals to agrees, they are true works of art.
ReplyDeleteI really like your
