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 :-)
