Oh, I VERY MUCH like the second one - although I'm not a Sir, and I probably can't afford it lol.

May one enquire as to how much such a handcrafted delight would set one back in this, Queen Victoria's mighty reign?

One would assume also, correct me if I am wrong, that the delightful cover is able to be removed and transfered to a new journal when the one it encloses is completly full of etchings...?

(Believable, at all...?)

Wow, those covered journals look great!!
Just had to stop by to say i am a 'Jennie' too & not a Jennifer, just a straight out Jennie.
I'm also a work from home mummy, now with 4 children in primary school from years 1 to 6.
Happy days, love Posie
