My mommy favorites – Pocket Malden Filofax in grey

I purchased this Filofax a few months ago. I’ve been lusting over a Malden since I started my obsession with Filofax. But being on a tight budget, I couldn’t justify the expense. It’s always: house, kids, bills first (as it should be). So I waited. I knew a great sale would come along at the right time and it did.

I buy my filofaxes on the usa website (filofaxusa.com). The service is great, shipping is fast to Canada, just great all around except for the inventory. They have less and less choices every time I go on there.

Anyways, that day, I was just browsing. I saw that there were a few organiser on sale. I clicked on the link and went to see if any of them would interest me. I saw the Malden and my heart started beating a little faster.  I decided on the Pocket size because I already own an A5 Chameleon and a Personal Aston. Also, the color I wanted was not on sale.  I wanted the Ochre. I bought the Grey. 
I like it!  And the smell…  I’ve had for a few months now and use it every day as my wallet. My Personal size Aston is my big wallet where I keep all my cards and everything I need for a special purchase. My every day wallet has every day thing like driver’s licence, debit card, one credit card and two of my most used rewards cards. 
I used to carry every thing all the time but now I see that if you are organised you don’t have to do that.  I also have a separate coin purse for my twonies, loonies and other coins. I’ve always done that. 
I don’t really use the diary. It may have happened once to jot down something but otherwise never. I also keep receipts and stamps in this wallet. I just love it!!!
