KikiJames, a company based in London specialized in creating various hand made journals as well as diaries, guest books, address books, wallets and purses, etc. The journal that I picked up was a chocolate brown classic wrap journal. The journal is made out of Italian bridle leather yet it is smooth to the touch. Size wise, it’s about as big as a small book (4½”x3″). This particular journal is filled with 64 empty pages with no lines which enables you to doodle, writing down notes, pictures, etc. In my own opinion, the paper has an old fashion yellowish tint to it.
The only thing keeping me from using this Journal on a regular basis is the smell. My leather coat smells nice and I’ve smelled other forms of leather that don’t smell that bad but this particular piece of leather has a potent smell that I don’t agree with. It is very hard to explain exactly what it smells like. It is a combination of general leather and something else. That something else is what I don’t like.
This means I have a journal that I won’t be using and thus, would like to give away to anyone who is interested. All you have to do to qualify for the give away is to comment on this blog post. Then, after a few days I’ll announce the winner and send it off to you.
What? No one has jumped on this yet? Sign me up.
I’m giving away a t-shirt at the moment, so maybe we could swap.
The comments seemed so lonely I thought I would jump on board the give-a-way.
That looks like a really awesome little journal. I’m looking at maybe requesting a moleskine for Christmas, but this one looks great!
Funny …three computers and a home server in my house always on, a Palm Centro smart phone/PDA in my pocket and I still carry paper and pen to record the really important things.
@GrokCode – heh, if no one else comments, we may just have to swap
Hah Jim, I hear you. I’m thinking about purchasing a nice moleskin for those times when I want to actually write something down rather than rely on a digital technology.
