My 2 Year Filofax Anniversary :-)

Hey :o)

I was sat at my computer a couple of nights ago and realised that it must be almost (if not already) 2 years since I bought my first Filofax. I logged into my Filofax account and saw that my first Filofax was ordered on February 20th 2011, so I must have received it around the 24th-25th. It's taken me longer than planned to get the pictures to post, so technically it's been two years and one week now.

It turns out that this coincided quite nicely with my weekend of Filofax splurging where I realised the joys of eBay and buying from other Filofax fans (clearly my subconscious knew it was celebration time, even if I hadn't realised it). In fact. I had started celebrating early, and to be fair and am still celebrating a little bit now... when you get to my age you have to just take a little longer over certain things... (I can't wait for how long I'll be able to celebrate for when I'm 50, ha ha ha!!!).

Unfortunately it's going to take quite a while until all my new arrivals get to me, so for now I shall leave you with the pictures of the first two that were waiting for me when I got home on Wednesday - thank you so much Sussana Duner for parting with these gorgeous compact Luxes, I just hope the photos do them justice :-)

One red and one ebony (very dark brown)

Pocket layout

Beautiful texture

I hope everyone else is enjoying their Filofax journey as much as I am enjoying mine :o)

    Wonderful! My 2 year anniversary is on 25th March, so you are about 1 month ahead of me!
    What was your first Filofax? :)

      My first one (after much deliberation) was my personal aqua Finsbury. I still love it and don´t think I will ever get rid of it. What was yours?

    The leather on these Luxe's look simply gorgeous! I imagine they feel nice as well. I've never seen one in person.

    Happy anniversary. I got my first Filo less than a week ago, so my two year anniversary won't happen for a while. But I also purchased a few on eBay. Just have to wait for them to get to me. I had fun on my Filo journey even before getting my first one. :)

    The texture of your two finds sure looks great. Enjoy them!
