Hmmm... just a short post now.
38 years old, and 38 filofaxes - it has been suggested that I should now only be allowed to by one filofax
a year... and I may agree that I shouldn't have more filofaxes than years.
No, I don't intend to go down to 21 filos just so I can pretend I'm younger, but I have come up with a much better idea.
I can send some of my filos to a new home, where I know they will be loved and used, instead of sitting in a cupboard.
This actually serves 3 purposes:
1) This proves that I am actually able to divest myself of a Filofax without coming out
in a cold sweat;
2) This enables filofaxes that may never be used to fulfil their potential;
3) This makes room for me to be able to buy more filofaxes when I spot incredible
bargains on ones that I really like.
Two things to do:
1) Identify potential leavers - done
2) Assign to new owner - done
I am quite excited as the person the first one(s) are going to has never had a Filofax before and is really looking forward to getting her first one.
Now... when can I start searching for more...
Are you searching for potential candidates to house one of yor Filofaxes? Where do I fill out an application? :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope spelling words are not part of the qualifications. I meant "your". Big fingers on an IPhone...
DeleteI may be at some stage - or I could even do some 'long-term loans' so it just looks like I have fewer FFs and then get even more, ooh, or even some swaps... so many options :o)
DeleteYes, yes, to all the options! Swap, loans etcetc. Can I email you? Or you can email me at limetreefruits [at] gmail [dot] com
DeleteWow, 38 ?!> Another one here who would love to look at that list of filos looking for a new home. I love buying from fellow filo buyers (:
ReplyDeleteMe too. Currently mulling over a replacement for my A5 Finsbury, which will be going on Philofaxy when I replace it, proceeds to Chimemwe. I like the idea of my old Filofax helping a charity :)
ReplyDeleteHihi!
ReplyDelete"Rent/Loan a Filofax to find YOUR Filofax"
So, when i would'nt be in this now&forever love with the Maldens, i would test your whole Filogang. :)
(And if you want your Personal Malden Ochre to get a new home.. umm, here, here here. It would not be alone. ♥ ;)
Maybe I should set up a filo swap/loan shop...
ReplyDelete@ Mo - I would love to see my A5 Malden to get the usage it deserves, but I don't think I could bring myself to post that baby anywhere, it is too lovely - even though it is a very fat buffalo :o)
Don't you have a Malden Ochre in Personal?? Then I've said nothing of course. ;)
DeleteSorry no, my personal is Crimson and my Ochre is A5 (fat and beautiful - despite me putting 2 scratches in it on Thursday...) Thankfully it just adds to the old and loved look :o)
DeleteOh.
DeleteBut I think the only Malden who forgive scratches are the one in Ochre..
My next one will definitely be one in Ochre. In Personal.
A5 is still too big for me. (Your luck! ;) )
Phew!!! :o)
DeleteWell, as I fall far short of my age in regards to the number of Filo Faxes I have................?
ReplyDeleteMum, you cannot have that many Filofaxes - it is an addiction. Ha ha ha!!!
DeleteWow, that is an amazing number :)
ReplyDeleteDo you have any photos of them? Would be great to see!
I've often thought a swap/loan shop would be a great idea, as it means you can trial a new binder before committing to purchasing one :)
Hi Anita, I've got photos of all of them on various posts on this blog, but a family photo is in the last one from March, with photos of all the more recent photos in the blogs since then :-)
