I was thinking how nice it would be to have a Filofax for taking
sermon notes at church. I knew I wanted to get an A5 to do just that
and could kick myself for not buying the Chameleon when it was $40 a
little while ago on the USA Filofax website. Makes me sick to think
about it. But, anyway I decided to get an A5 Holborn Zip, after
watching this
video by FiloObsessed.
But alas, they don't exist on the FF USA website. So I did what any
self respecting citizen would do and I went to Ebay. That's where I
found it. A beautiful Holborn Zip in Wine:
It
came with free shipping, but I paid a few buck extra to get it faster.
About 3 days later, it came in my mailbox. I was so excited to get it
open and touch it and smell it, but to my surprise it wasn't MY Filofax
but a completely different one, actually a more upscale one to be
truthful. This is what I received:
It
was a gorgeous Filofax but it wasn't the one that I wanted. So after
many ebay messages back and forth with the seller we realized that the
labels were switched at some point. Someone, not 2 hours from me, in
this whole great big country, just 2 hours away, had received my
beautiful Holborn. Well, to make a long story longer, she sent me my
Filofax and I sent her this one. We should have our correct Filos by
the middle of next week. The company that we purchased these from
offered us refills of our choice to compensate for the mishap. I got
the magnifying glass, the world map, a ruled notepaper pad and 2
envelope pockets. So all is well, after-all, I should receive my Filo
in a few days.
In the meantime I'm preparing beautiful papers to put inside it. I'm "Filo-lifting" the idea from Gail
right here. I bought the papers she used
right here and
here. Can't wait until I get the Filofax and get it all set up.
If
anyone knows what the lizardy looking Filo above is called I'd love to
know. The inside looks just like the Osterley. It's not on the FFusa
site.
I have that Same Filofax in wine too Mary, it is beautiful, also thanks for mention. x
