Just journaling …

A disturbing fact came to my attention the other day: I am running low on journals! Like most writers I know, I’m obsessed with paper and pen, and having just the right journal to write in is very important. And when I say “running low on journals,” please understand that I mean “currently have fewer than ten in waiting,” which, to me, is kind of like the needle on the gas gauge edging toward “E.” I was just about to settle for some new ones that were merely so-so designs when I spotted these two lovelies at T.J. Maxx over the weekend!

You may be surprised to hear that the blue scalloped one ($5.99) is actually my favorite. I’ve always loved scalloped anything—dresses, stationery, potatoes—and this one was right up my alley. Scallops are very much in style this year in home decor, as are all things floral and Laura Ashley and Shabby Chic, so I can hardly visit a T.J. Maxx these days without leaving with something with roses and/or scallops on it.

And who could leave this cute pink teacup journal behind? Certainly not I (and certainly not for just $4.99), and I thought some of you might want to look for it as well. To those who share my obsession, happy journaling!
