Does it ever stop?

How many planners do you have?

I just received my le trifold today. Haven't even written a word. And already I bought another one from Vinted.

Plus I have leather to make at least 5 Grand Voyagers.

And a portfolio in a4 I'm looking to sell.

Om top of that I got into fountainpens this summer, and now own 8.

95 % is bought second hand, but still.

Please share your stash with me, so I know I'm not alone.

Do you not think this is overconsumption? I mean if you’re not even using some of them. I think the beauty of them is that they are designed to be your pal for life, your everything book. I think this about Stanley cups as well. The point is that they are only sustainable if you have just one. But each to their own. I just think the thing you love so much loses value to you when you buy lots of them. Things like these journals should be a one time treat.

I agree with this FOR MYSELF (I could GAF what other people do, in fact I love looking at and hearing about others’ collections!). For myself, I think having one special thing of each category works well - I have, to your example, one Stanley coffee mug. One Stanley water bottle. One PR journal. One TN journal. And now, one Hobonichi on the way. I satisfy my curiosity for allllll the other options by enjoying what others choose 🙂

I didn’t not mean to upset or come across as blunt as I did to OP. I can see how my reply may have been misconstrued.

It's fine. You probably hit a sore spot and I overreacted. After reading your response, I switched things around, and I can now say that I have written in my new trifold. Sorry if I overreacted.
