Way back when I was 6-years-old, I received this Babar The Elephant diary as a gift. An any year diary, it appears that I have been waiting almost 20 years to find the perfect one. There’s not even a single pen mark in the book! I guess it goes to show I have always had the fear of ‘ruining’ beautiful notebooks with silly scribbles.
While I want-want-wanted a pack of 12 colourful Moleskines, I can’t really justify spending that much on stationery when I have so many blank books lying around the house – plus Babar is mighty cute.
Any year? Now is good!
This sums up my aim for 2010 – more conscious consumerism, more reuse/recycling and of course, more charm. It’s important that we all think about how we can impact the world less, by reexamining discarded objects and previously loved good, but at the same time BRING THE CUTE.

Aw, it’s super cute! And I love it because you’ve held on to it for so long!
I am also afraid to ruin pretty notebooks with my crappy handwriting and boring to do lists. But I’ve got so many now, I really need to start using them!
In fact, I am going to start using one of my nicest notebooks right now, for Susannah Conway’s unravelling course.
So gorgeous, I loved Babar as a nipper. I’m a notebook/diary addict. Always buying them, never filling them.
