Like Petra, I do tend to match pens, paper and any future wallets or purses to this blue because I really like the color. I could not deal with more than one Filo as I am still re-organizing this one every so often and still have not gotten to the perfect way I want it. If I had more, I would get more confused than organized.

I have a collection of the early "Winchester" type models from the late 70"s and 80's, and the colors I have are black, tan, red, burgundy, gray, and brown. I really don't care what color it is, so long as it is the right vintage, and is a good example of Filofax in its glory years.

I also buy based on the cuteness factor (like the minis)and whether there is an interesting print (for non leather filos).caribbean princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01732674178611729478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-57284060580930627072011-01-26T13:11:34.771-05:002011-01-26T13:11:34.771-05:00Oh, and I do buy paper/stationery/notepads that ma...Oh, and I do buy paper/stationery/notepads that match a particular filo, to make blank page inserts out of.

I do try to put filos on my shelf in colors that look great together, and sometimes rearrange the order so that the colors play even better off each other!
