I need some privacy

January 6, 2008


Three new I need some privacy journals. There's a fourth one too (blue teal linen with brown keys), but it still needs to be sewn together. These are coptic bound, linen covered and hand stenciled. There are about 72 pages of white heavyweight drawing paper. 8.4"x6"x0.8" (21,4x15,2x2,1cm)


At some stage a locked diary seems like overreacting. These books give others a kind and symbolic notice of minding their own business. I need some privacy journals can be found from Paperiaarre shop within a couple of days.


Yesterday was really windy and cold. I got a nosebleed just from breathing. It wasn't that bad, I was just happy that the winter was finally here. There's hardly any snow, but while writing this I noticed that some microscopically small snowflakes are falling.
