Absolutely beautiful diary

I love the colour (beautiful orange) and sturdiness. It's not too big or heavy either. With this diary I can record a tiny message every day. And next year will record another message on the same page as the pages are divided in 5. So I will have my "collection of thoughts, written down everyday for 5 years".
The staff is very friendly and the delivery was very quick and well packed.

Thie best pen

This pen is absolutely divine to write with, making me very happy as I love writing notes and using my diary. I might even say… it’s the best pen I’ve ever had. I love the very fine nib.

5 stars!

I love this. I got the graph pages. I am taking notes on the right side with the graph and doing my illustrations and quick notes on the left. The perfect set up for me. I love the wire-o bind because i work remote so sometimes i don't have much room on the desk, the bind means i can fold it in half and still write - perfect!

I’ve been using this diary for the last 6 years. The pockets and layout suit me. Usually struggle in finding it, but thankfully for the last couple of years Papersmiths stock it and sell it at a really competitive price 😊
