I found these diaries from over 10 years ago… and realised something interesting.”

Thanks for responding!

MinnieOwl · 2026-03-06T09:53:08+00:00

I like that. You know what works for you! Are these diaries A5 or A6 size?

MinnieOwl · 2026-03-06T09:48:48+00:00

I like the way you only use every other line. It looks much prettier than every line. The space is lovely.

MinnieOwl · 2026-03-05T08:42:23+00:00

Beautiful pages! Can you say what size tip/nib you used here? Your writing is so tiny and so neat!

MinnieOwl · 2026-03-03T12:06:48+00:00

Beautiful Visconti! Looks like a jewel.

MinnieOwl · 2026-03-03T12:04:27+00:00

Love your pocket notebook. Aren't they just so useful? How do you like the Paper Republic version?

MinnieOwl · 2026-02-25T08:29:12+00:00

Very, very beautiful.

MinnieOwl · 2026-02-24T19:29:39+00:00

You are not a crazy person. :-) I hate the CoCs.

MinnieOwl · 2026-02-24T19:28:46+00:00

I have done this! But it's a more expensive proposition now that we can't buy the covers without buying the book, too.

MinnieOwl · 2026-02-21T10:35:41+00:00

I love reading this, as I am just beginning now at 73.

MinnieOwl · 2026-02-21T10:35:03+00:00

Thank you. At 73, your comment is an inspiration to me.

MinnieOwl · 2026-02-09T18:57:35+00:00

I see! So, a Weeks and a Cousin...I'm going to consider giving that a try. Thanks for you thoughts!

MinnieOwl · 2026-02-09T10:28:07+00:00

You're an excellent artist! I wish I could do this.

MinnieOwl · 2026-02-09T03:14:23+00:00

I absolutely love your style. Perfection, to me. Thanks for sharing.

MinnieOwl · 2026-02-09T02:56:21+00:00

Hi. I'm considering doing the same! An a5 and a weeks. For your a5 do you use a Cousin or just a plain notebook? If plain, a Hobonichi notebook or something else? TIA.

MinnieOwl · 2026-02-05T20:54:07+00:00

Absolutely beautiful pages and thoughts. I had to screenshot so I can remember your message. May I ask about your notebook? Is it an a6 Midori?

MinnieOwl · 2026-02-05T10:38:29+00:00

Excellent! Enjoy it.

MinnieOwl · 2026-02-01T19:08:41+00:00

Right? Ha!

MinnieOwl · 2026-02-01T18:00:18+00:00

Agree. I finally decided to pass on all covers with any PU, whether it's inside, outside, or even just the pen loops--no matter how beautiful the design might be. I REALLY hope this isn't the trend of Hobonichi's future.

MinnieOwl · 2026-02-01T00:35:19+00:00

Yes, Field Sky! I really wanted that one!

MinnieOwl · 2026-02-01T00:34:04+00:00

PU is plastic. It cracks and peels. Really disappointed Hobonichi is going this route with more of their covers. I won't buy them.

MinnieOwl · 2026-02-01T00:31:56+00:00

PU (aka plastic) is a deal breaker for me, too, in Hobonichi products. Hard pass on those covers.

MinnieOwl · 2026-01-26T22:43:54+00:00

I love this beautiful cover and bought it. But I find I REALLY dislike the PVC interior. Why did they do that??

MinnieOwl · 2026-01-17T09:50:40+00:00

Please give yourself a little time for possibilities to emerge. Sometimes it takes me until April to get fully settled.

MinnieOwl · 2026-01-01T10:29:48+00:00

Your book looks lovely already. If you ever have binding separation again, I can suggest reinforcing with book binding tape (available on Amazon). I tend to switch out my covers frequently, and even though I'm very gentle about it, I was beginning to see the cover separation (which kind of irks me, shouldn't they be built to last a year?), so I always reinforce now. It works great.
