New arrivals - meet Luxe, Malden, Guildford and Cuban!

They're here! Just a quick post to show you the new arrivals!

The red Finsbury I mentioned, arrived first  and has already found a new home. From the top: ochre pocket Malden, brown pocket Cuban, ebony pocket Luxe and a black pocket Guildford!

The Malden is now my yoga binder, I keep track of my classes and a journal of my practise. My husband liked the Cuban, so he's using it as a notebook, with notepaper only. The Luxe and the Guildford only arrived today so I haven't had time to figure out what to use them for yet. For now I just sniff them and play with them... 

Look at all that snow*

A filofax parade... All of them are unused, except the Malden who shows some sign of use. Still lovely though!

I don't really need four pocket filofaxes... Winning them all was quite unexpected! But now they are here :-)

* I wanted to show you how much snow we have had in Stockholm, as well as the filofaxes... The light conditions weren't any good at all, but I think you can see that it's a lot of snow out there on the balcony. We had 35 cm in a day! People have been digging out their cars all day outside my window here.  

Punching and cutting, getting ready for new arrivals

Tonight I've been busy preparing some more paper for my Bond at work. I bought a pad of 60g lined paper without any holes on my way home from work today. It's nicely perforated at the top and comes out a5. And then I punched all hundred sheets! See?

When I was done, I was still itching for some more DIY... I decided cut up some pocket size paper in preparation for some new Filofax arrivals this week. That's right. Not one. Some. Three actually. So far. 

Last week I kept myself busy on Tradera, the Swedish subsidiary of Ebay, carelessly placing lazy (low) bids on items that looked even remotely interesting. Since they are Filofaxes, nearly all of them are interesting... I never thought I would win them for the price I was willing to pay, at least not that many! 

Don't tell my family :-) but this week I will get three lovely parcels containing:

• a red pocket Finsbury
• a chestnut pocket Cuban
• a brown pocket Kendal

I have already started making plans for them, naturally...

Oh, and by the way - I'm so pleased with Dahle, the paper cutter! It's a dream to work with. Sturdy, easy to use and oh, so good at avoiding fanning. If you are considering one, I would definately recommend it!

As you can see the pocket paper is not punched yet, and that's because I haven't got a pocket hole punch (yet). It's on its way too, and then I'll make confetti to celebrate my new filofaxes!

Keep your fingers crossed I'm not as lucky with the rest of the auctions, the ones that haven't ended yet... On second thought - don't keep your fingers crossed. I want them :-)
