Lyra & Co fauxdori!

Lyra and Co

My first fauxdori! Well, first 'proper' fauxdori as I have 3 that I made myself. 

I saw this fabric though and couldn't pass it up. It's just so adorable and perfect for what I wanted to use it for. A memory journal for my bunnies.

I first heard/saw of Lyra & Co on the UK Planner Addicts facebook page and then spent well over an hour trying to decide which inserts I wanted and whether or not I really needed another 'planner'. Of course I didn't, but that couldn't stop me!

Anyway, the prices are amazing for the quality of work you receive. In total it came to £25.50, £16 for the dori, £5.50 for the 2 handmade inserts and then postage.

I put my Kawaii Studios cupcake charm on to begin with, but now have a bunny charm attached.
The 2 elastics are strong and it allows you to add up to 6 notebooks, or more inserts and it can hold that many without the inserts sticking out which is great!

These are the first 3 pages of my memory journal, I haven't got any further with it as I still need to get new photos printed.

The inserts themselves (bought separately) are nice quality, especially for what I'm using them for.

I'm incredibly pleased with my purchase and recommend Lyra & Co for good quality and well priced fauxdori's within the UK! I am trying very hard not to buy another one. It is proving quite difficult after seeing the Halloween fabrics and the fabrics that will be used for the Christmas dori's!

Personal turquoise domino

I have a new filofax WOOOO!

I chose the turquoise domino in personal size and even though I've only been in it for a couple of days, I LOVE it!

I bought it from WHSmiths for £17.50 and it arrived so quickly! It also arrived in a box so I'm hoping that will continue as the packaging my hot pink domino arrived in wasn't amazing. A jiffy bag isn't good enough protection!

But they seem to have upped their packaging game so fingers crossed that continues.

Paperclip and charm city!

(Charms are from Kawaii Studios and Cloudy Cow, the large charm was a keyring I converted!)

A quick flip-through of the domino. I have some diary stickers in the side pouch, I might use some washi tape to attach some photos to the side like I did with my hot pink domino but not too sure yet as it leaves a bit of a dent!

My handmade dashboard along with 2 paperclips for no reason other than to look cute.

The cat pen is from Cloudy Cow.

I have some ice cream sticky notes from Mrs Brimbles on the back of my dash.

My card holder insert holds the business cards from my latest purchases.

Then I have 2 top loading pockets which hold stickers and some random bits and pieces.

My inserts are from Cloudy Cow and are undated as I chop and change between personal and pocket, so they are perfect but I have decorated up until Halloween so I WILL use them hehe!

The months are also undated and from Cloudy Cow. I've never used monthly pages before but they're actually very handy!

The back divider holds my note paper etc, I currently only have the October challenge written here that Mrs Brimbles is doing!

And in the back I have a notepad (originally from Sainsbury's for £1) which I haven't actually used yet but it moves to different planners with me and I love it! 

I just love it! Super happy with it and I'm so pleased I bought it. I did umm and ahh about it for ages but now I have it in my hands I know I made the right decision.

SilverDolphinCharms order!

My adorable purchase from SilverDolphinCharms on Etsy.

I saw this cookie cupcake and had to have it. It's so cute! I added a lobster clasp and it is currently living on my Pennybridge.

Delivery was quick and it was packed beautifully!

I will definitely be ordering from Sophie again, in fact, I just did! A Molang charm will be on it's way to me soon and will make the perfect addition to my fauxdori. But I'll have photos of that in a new blog post!

Kawaii Studios order

It was marked in my planner. 8pm on Sunday 13th September..

The release of the adorable Halloween charms from Kawaii Studios!

I made my order pretty quickly and I'm glad I did because pretty much everything sold out!

I got my hands on exactly what I wanted- the super cute pumpkin planner charm, the shy ghost planner charm and a blue star necklace.

In this photo you can also see my first Kawaii Studios order of the blue cupcake and my emote charm from Cloudy Cow!

As you can tell they match my monochrome filofax perfectly! It is completely decked out in planner charms and yet I want more!

I will probably be keeping these charms on all year round they are just so cute.

Again, fantastic quality items and they are even more adorable in person!

Delviery was great too, bought on the Sunday evening, dispatched on the Monday and arrived on the Tuesday!

Cloudy Cow Halloween order

What's this? Another order from Cloudy Cow?! Yep!

I was waiting with anticipation for the release of the Halloween stock, I could have bought everything but gave myself a limit.

First the "un-halloweeny" bits, I bought some bunny washi tape and a hot pink planner charm!

Halloween wise I bought some cute ghost and mummy stickers who all seem to be having a party! Some black spotty washi tape, happy pumpkin washi tape and some washi with cats, pumpkins and witches hats on.

I got 2 pens, one black cat one and the other has a cute pumpkin charm on!

I have already decorated my Halloween week with everything and the month of October in my pocket planner, personal planner and journal! I'm so excited, I just love Halloween and October is my favourite month so I'm taking full advantage by getting in the spooky mood during September!

#happymail from Cloudy Cow

I can't seem to help myself.. My poor bank account! But boy does it make me happy when I receive new goodies in the post. And I'm completely obsessed with Cloudy Cow!

I actually made 2 separate orders but will speak about them both, I had to wait for my wages to go in to make the second, I also needed to make my mind up on which washi tape I wanted! But I got some undated inserts, weekly (photographed) and monthly (not photographed but in the planner!), 2 heart washi tapes, a bronze chevron/line washi and pink bunting washi. Also another ice cream pen which are in the pop up section, meaning there is a limited amount, I needed another one though as they are so nice to write with! And finally I got a new charm which is a very cute emote face! (but not photographed!)

As usual everything is great quality and I am super happy with it all. Delivery was great too, dispatched on the Friday and both parcels arrived on the Saturday!

Kawaii Studios order

I cannot tell you how much I ummed and ahhed over buying one of these adorable cupcakes when they were restocked the other day.

In the end I just thought 'what the hell!' and then spent 10 minutes trying to decide between the pink one and the blue one. I chose the blue and the next time I checked they were out of stock! So very pleased I finally made my mind up!

I can't get over how cute this little charm is.

Not only is it cute it is very well made and I'm super happy with it!

Very quick delivery from dispatch and it arrived in such cute packaging.

I have been following Ruth, the owner of Kawaii Studios, for a while now on YouTube and also her shop on Etsy. It was only last week, after I saw she was restocking, that I decided to take the plunge and purchase one of her pieces! 

I will definitely be ordering from Kawaii Studios again!
