Dallas Meet Up - 2 February

It was a cold Super Bowl Sunday with ice keeping more than 3/4 of our original attendees from being able to attend the first ever Dallas Philofaxy Meet Up at Paradise Pen Company in the swanky Dallas Galleria Mall.

Yet, Choice, manager of Paradise Pen Company in the Dallas Galleria, and his excellent staff (Kelly, Lisa, Michael, and Jane) welcomed us as if we'd been a cast of thousands. Trust me, Choice is your number one choice to get anything Filofax related.

They gifted each of us with a wonderful Paradise Pen bag with a pack of note cards and...a mini Original Keychain!

We got a glimpse of many styles--Calypso, Charleston, and Holborn--in the store, along with getting to ogle a display of inserts. If anyone is looking for Deskfax items at ridiculously low prices, call Choice! Plus, we got to see TWO Maldens. Lola brought her ochre and Hannah brought her purple. Whoo-hoo!

Not only did we have a fabulous time talking Filofaxes, the wonderful staff allowed us to try out pens, feel luxurious leather items, and kindly listen to us do what we do best--show off our Filofaxes and ring bound planners! Plus, everyone loved their official Philofaxy cards from Steve. Thanks, Mr. Morton!

And what Meet Up would be complete without a stack? Well, we Texans created a horizontal stack of our Filofax Personal Organizers. When 50% of this group of Philofaxy Fans are librarians, that's the way we roll.

If you were one of the lovelies who couldn't make it because of the weather, please watch here as we're doing another Meet Up at some point this spring. More information coming soon!
