We had a really fun weekend with my husband’s family. We took our visitors to some of the Austin highlights – the Capitol building, Sixth Street, and my favorite, a stroll around the shops on South Congress.
When we stopped in at Mi Casa I wasn’t expecting to find anything to buy but when I saw this little journal I just had to have it. Isn’t it pretty?
The journal is made with bark paper and has this great colorful transfer of a Frida Kahlo picture on the cover. I love the binding and the little button and am already thinking I’d like to try making something like that. So as you can see, I may make journals but I buy them too!
So not a lot of reading got done this weekend but there’s always this coming week.

That’s gorgeous!
I really need to do a post about the journal I bought from you! I have been so busy that I entirely forgot. I love it, though! (Did I tell you that at least? Probably not…)
What a beautiful journal! As soon as I saw it I thought “Frida!”. She has an unmistakable face.
What a beautiful journal. I wouldn’t have been able to pass it by either.
I love that!!!! Frida is my fave.
With these beautiful acquisitions and the beautiful ones you make, you’ll need separate bookshelf all them. 🙂

That is a gorgeous little thing! I’d be sorely tempted to pick that up myself!
wowwwwww! that is a beautiful book 🙂 🙂
That is a fantastic jouranl. When I saw the photo I thought for sure you had made it! But I suppose you aren’t required to make all of your journals 🙂
Belle – As much as I love Frida, it was the binding on this one that drew me in definitely! 🙂
Melody – Isn’t it sweet 🙂
Kathleen – She’s awesome isn’t she? I’ve got some Friday postcards – maybe I should turn those into journals! 🙂
Shanra – I almost didn’t pick it up but my husband saw it too and he said you have to get it. He knows me so well!
Veens – I think it’s really pretty too 🙂
Stefanie – Haha… Although whenever I find a new binding I do want to try it myself. Of course very slow going as I’ve got tons of new bindings I want to try – so little time! 🙂
So pretty!
What a cool journal! It’s no wonder you picked that one up. 🙂
