What is the clear plastic cover you use on top of the journal case?

I have a TN cover for my Hobonichi and I love the way it sits there plus you can also add other stuff there, like you have - I haven't put the strings on the back but I love mine. I will be subscribing as I also live in the UK (rainy Devon) and there's not that many UK UA-cam peeps that I have found

Have you ever listened to And That’s Why We Drink? It’s a sort of true crime/paranormal podcast, my sister loves it so much. It’s hosted by Em and Christine and they take turns sharing a crime story, and a ghost story.

I think the HON looks really good. I think you can’t even tell you took pages out. The tape really helps. I think overall it looks nice.

Love your journal flips…they always make me want to write more and decorate more…. and then I don’t! 🤪 Heading to my desk right now! 😍

Virginia Woolf might be one of my favorite writers of all time, and I can see how Sylvia Plath would believe Woolf’s writing paved the way for her. I hope you try another of Woolf’s books; there are so many good ones. 🖤

Yay! Perfect timing. I'm trying to decide on my 2025 planner. I have used the Hobonichi on and off for a few years now, but I think this year I just felt I need a change so I will use the Hemlock and Oak. Just ordered it! So excited for see it. Which pens did you like for the Hemlock and Oak paper? I might just keep my fountain pens for the Hobonichi.

Omg you have duck stickers on (I think) the April monthly in the Hemlock and Oak. Where are they from?? I love ducks so much

Oh my goodness this is so much like what I do in my COLIBRI JOURNAL!! I didn’t know it was called a Commonplace journal and now I’m excited I have a genre😂

Absolutely lovely!

I really want to make more time for commonplacing - and what a great idea to collect all your favourite quotes and thoughts from books 😍

I really enjoyed this video and flip through of your planners and commonplace journal. I like your planners, but I am really here for your commonplace journal. Please keep us updated on your progress in your commonplace journal.

I am so glad I found you and this video! This setup is exactly what I have been trying to create! Thank you! I just got my first hobonichi cousin and I ordered all the covers and so many stickers and some TN bands so I can customize my set up like this. THANK YOU!

Doing the same thing with my teas in the new year, cute! Lovely video 😍 x

I was in my little blanket bubble on the couch enjoying your video when i realized the i.g. dry ink comment was me. I was like oh crap! 😅 but it is very dry in my sailor pen. I find the ink works better in my medium and broad nib pens 🎉 love your journal flip as always ❤❤❤

I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking about 2026!

Your hobonichi spreads are great, I love the way you create little vignettes with your stickers 😍 where are the cat life stickers from?

your commonplace book is incredible !!

Bronte, I wonder if you've ever tried the podcast "This Is Actually Happening". It's so good - people tell their stories of horrible things that have happened to them (like bear attacks!).

idk if I missed it, but are the little houses/townhouses washi and where is it from? Thank you!

Did you draw those cat doodles or are they stickers? It’s the white cat on 11/18 page and the black and white kitty on the page after.

🙌🏼

Have you thought about using the SI daily planner? It’s basically just daily pages of the Hobonichi cousin :)

I use to the bands around the spine but they use to break. Then I released it was the edge of the cover on cover. Where they were rubbing over time they would break. Then I put them under the cover on cover and they would last. Now for next year I’m not using any hobonichis at all. My first year in 7 year’s. Never heard of the second book you named, the green one. It looks interesting but not sure if I would use all of it.

I spy the Heidiroo sticker in your thumbnail, so I watched your video!

I will never get over the collage on the HON. It's so pretty 😍 Your commonplace/scrapbook looks like it's going to be a really nice cosy space. The skull and moth fit in so well with that back deco. Glad you like it 😊

For your cover, if you want the pocket, just tuck the wrap around paper into the pocket. Then add another paper to cover the pocket. Tape it to the top of the pocket the way you are sticking to the book. And wa-la…use of your back pocket should you want. :). That mushroom paper is stunning! I love love love it!! You can bind the edges with washi tape, and you can run it through your sewing machine and sew it to stay put. The washi or book binding tape will take being over the edge of the cover a bit better than the actual paper. The needle won’t be great for material after that, but a needle doesn’t cost much. Your creative mind will figure it out :) ❤

I'm sure you've answered this question before somewhere but I gotta ask still: How do you deal with shipping costs from US stores? I believe some of your favorite are from the US? To ship to Germany it is usually around 20 bucks... is it cheaper for the UK or do you have a way to minimize costs? Any tips?

Awesome ideas!! ❤

Tearing out the monthly and weekly pages is GENIUS! I tear out the monthly signature in my Moleskine dailies because they’re just too small to use.

I decided to downsize a bit this year. I have my everyday carry, which is my only planner. It's a SI Pocket. That will be where I keep my schedule, tasks, and day-to-day notes of things I need to write down. My other book is a standard TN size. I went with the Sterling Ink N1 horizontal compact, plus an additional monthly booklet. The monthly booklet will be for tracking reading/hobby progress. The monthly and weeklies in the main book will be for memory-keeping and the back pages will be a commonplace of sorts. I'm a little nervous about it, but the book I've loved working in the most is the N1, so I'm giving it a go!

Fun line up! Very exciting to see more in future❤❤

This was such a nice watch!

DIY-ing that cousin is genius?? I also want to get one but I’m not a vertical weekly kind of person and I feel like it’ll just go to waste. Nice to know I have options hahahahhaha

THE CONNECTOR BANDS! Truly so many genius, lovely ideas!

Turning your hobo cover into a TN to hold multiple books/things is so genius! Definitely see this becoming a super popular mod ❤

Really enjoying this video! Great to see your line-up!

Love the bands for the hobonichi set up! Could you do a video of how you constructed that? That’s exactly what I want to do!

I'm obsessed with those monthly stickers on the top left of your hemlock and oak planner monthlies! Where did you get those?

What a gorgeous lineup! Your decoration is my absolute favourite 💖

that oval cutout is a genius idea

I love this collection of books! And your cousin cover is looking fantastic ❤

How did you get a early readers version of Kat Dunn’s book? I don’t think I can wait until next year

Great video! It seems like your planner set up is really dialed into your needs which feels like such an accomplishment. I'm still waffling back and forth on my 2025 line-up😅 I'm curious about how the Hemlock and Oak paper feels? I was literally just thinking "I need a Weeks in A5" and then you mentioned that H&O is quite similar.

This year my setup is a new lt1917 for journaling, an old one with about 60 pages torn out for braindump, and a hobonichi weeks for regular planning/meal planning :)

So far my lineup is a cousin for journaling and daily logging, a weeks for planning, and a Sterling Ink N2 for my reading/media journal. I have the 2025 OURS Research journal which I’m looking forward to using for gratitude with a space to do a daily collage decoration. I also have a 5 year journal which I’m excited to use to log daily events, notable things, etc. Hopefully I’ll keep up with everything!

Whhhere did those little calendars with the moon phases in the Hemlock and Oak monthlies come from?? They are sooo gorgeous!

Looks like it will be a nicee scrapbook 👌🏽👌🏽 & the reading journal 💛

The Yoseka x Stalogy notebook looks gorgeous! I am bit late on the Stalogy party and now wished I bought some partner merchandise on my travels. Amazing set-up btw.
