I just hate the effort of posting and processing sales via Ebay...<br /><br />The Amazona is kinda like me - a bit dramatic. And the thickness of the cover corresponds with my big, fat, writing. I tend to squash that tendency within the confines of my FF, but I let it out with much pleasure when I leave notes for the family using a black Sharpie on index cards.<br /><br />Oh, and yes, it's the plum Osterley that cast its spell on me.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06149197895202293976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7971334156485110165.post-11062298765750390502012-07-13T19:53:23.096+01:002012-07-13T19:53:23.096+01:00Hi Nancy.
Thanks for your lovely comment :)
Due ...Hi Nancy.<br /><br />Thanks for your lovely comment :)<br /><br />Due to the way I have set my Osterley up, there is little to no ruffling of the page edges and if the pens do overlap with the pages, they end up pushing the tabs/pages rather than ruffling them. I guess you just have to try it to believe what I'm saying! <br /><br />I do love this model though and can't see myself migrating out of it anytime soon (if ever!) and it's made me seriously think about selling the majority of my other Filofax organisers too. I also have the Amazona in black and although it is lovely, it just isn't me :) I can see why you love it though! I did fall in love with it when I first held it too; but I just fell deeper in love with the Osterley :) xangelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02857697650501393232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7971334156485110165.post-31342879496337257122012-07-13T16:15:01.757+01:002012-07-13T16:15:01.757+01:00Angela -

I ended up buying a personal Amazona in black - which I adore - and then some more (ahem). Much to my regret I decided against the Osterley b/c I thought the pen loops - which lay towards the spine instead of away from it - would ruffle the edges of the inserts. In your experience, is this true?<br /><br />Thank you!!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06149197895202293976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7971334156485110165.post-71749494380411106312012-07-13T09:14:47.391+01:002012-07-13T09:14:47.391+01:00See how you feel in September when you see it in p...See how you feel in September when you see it in person ;) Then order it on Amazon (cos it's £86 there for the personal size!) xangelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02857697650501393232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7971334156485110165.post-73452740716427525002012-07-11T10:44:10.521+01:002012-07-11T10:44:10.521+01:00WOW I love it as usual!!!

I am considering buying at the Philofaxy Meet up in September, or maybe before if Funds allow :) I love the deep plum but the pink stitching it is just such a beautiful organiser :) xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435057906209381460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7971334156485110165.post-84491863658071977112012-07-11T10:31:04.487+01:002012-07-11T10:31:04.487+01:00Thank you!

That said, I just toss it into my handbag whenever I leave the house and I don't really care for it (apart from the Nivea Creme facial I gave it, a few weeks after I got it). It's pretty sturdy though and I'm sure that, with time, it will age very well.<br /><br />I wouldn't say my Filofax is stuffed and I think that, if I tried, I could get another 3-4 months of WO2P diary inserts on there if I wanted to. But, I'm trying to declutter all aspects of my life so I haven't done so :) The rings are the same size as other personal sized Filofax models (as far as I know: 23mm??) so I'm sure that, as the leather is so supple, that it can hold more inserts than you'll ever want to put in it :)<br /><br />It honestly is amazing - and I think it was <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Filofax-Osterley-Personal-Organiser-95x171mm/dp/B0056GI7T4" rel="nofollow">on offer on Amazon recently</a> if you want to get it from there (as Amazon do free returns too!). I have a feeling you're based in the U.S. though so not sure if you can purchase through the UK Amazon site?<br /><br />Anymore questions, feel free to ask! And if you want anymore pictures, etc, do let me know.angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02857697650501393232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7971334156485110165.post-60962985964593653922012-07-11T10:26:14.768+01:002012-07-11T10:26:14.768+01:00No problem!

And do you feel you have to be extra special in handling it or is it just like a normal Filofax? Sorry for all the questions... But I can't get my hands on one til I buy.... And I need to know if it's as good as it looks!Silver_Elixirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13168603897130780850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7971334156485110165.post-16904186154411830982012-07-11T05:18:48.909+01:002012-07-11T05:18:48.909+01:00Angela, it's beautiful, thanks for the tour.
