And you can now buy the Flex on-line

Big Rings Little Rings

So at last I've received a replacement A5 Malden with the correct 30 mm rings. A big big thank you to Filofax customer service in UK, they were very helpful throughout this whole saga, which started soon after I bought it in London at the meet up back in March, two months ago! You can read what happened in my earlier posts.

So what is the difference between 25 mm rings and 30 mm rings?


As you can see above, looking at them like this the difference isn't that obvious is it? Which is which? Well the top one is the 25 mm ring one and the bottom one is fitted with the 30 mm rings.


However, looking that them from above like this, you can see quite a marked difference between the two ring mechanisms and why the 30mm rings will hold considerably more pages...

So I've already set up the smaller ring one with a 2011 Business A5 diary insert I picked up in UK for £1 this week in a shop sale in Heswall and I've moved the A5 fill from the smaller ringed Malden to the larger ring one. I will post an up date once both are fully set up.

Poco Profile - Update

Our friends in Sydney, Australia emailed me an update on their range of covers and organisers today. Here are the details.

I've stocked up on SLIPCOVERS and JOURNALS for the cocoon season - and they are on special. Slip covers in 3 sizes A6, A5 & A4 and an A5 3 ring loose-leaf filled journal. The slip covers are empty so you can choose your own filling (notes, sketch books, address books, diaries and even novels). If your hardbound diary (A5 or A4) is starting to look scrappy a smart leather cover will see you through this year and many more. Also new in is a re-worked Brisbane style binder - the hardback of the Poco range of organisers. It's available empty or filled with 2011 diary.

For ordering, prices and specs follow the OTHER link from the ONLINE STORE link (bottom click on the left side). And for the Brisbane go to the ORGANISERS/Personal link from the same. http://www.pocoprofile.com.au/

All in quality cowhide leather and all made in Australia.


If you are in Sydney next month you can find these and other things at the annual June sale. Yes, they'll be a little cheaper as the online prices are inclusive of post.

IMPORTANT:
I will be out of the office until next Tuesday and I won't have email access so If you are ordering or have any questions, I won't be able to help or dispatch until next week. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Best wishes for a happy winter - Victoria
