How cool that you found some vintage treasures. I love how quaint old notebooks notebook, and love going to antique stores. I remember some of the office planners in the 1990s with the huge calculators that my family had. One even had a built-in magnifying glass. Those things were built like a rock and lasted forever.
What an awesome find! I love the vintage look myself. I appreciate folks who discuss practical planning and the reasons behind it. Enjoy these delicious pieces!
I love the way libraries, old books, children's coloring books, crayons, scotch tape all smell for me those smells remind me of my childhood and happiness.
I have the Franklin Covey Unstructured Planner is both classic and compact sizes in black. I have alway loved them! They currently are packed away but not for long. After watching your video I will be getting them out and using them again.
Loved this video and I am on a mission now to find a vintage piece ! I love both but that soft leather one is so gorgeous and love the fact it can be used for a note book !!! I am as excited as you are and can't wait to see if I can find one just like that at a good price 🤗🤗thank you so much for sharing this xoxo
I've not heard of Franklin Covey before (I'm in the UK), but I love this one, especially as you can remove the rings. I'm more of a notebook user than a formal planner so something like this would be great. I love the smell of old paper and books. I used to work in a library and we had books going back to elizabethan times that were lovely to, carefully, handle.💜
I love the old one, my top favorite ever is the personal portland in brown - it's got the best leather I've ever seen (on any planner, period) The rings from that time are still spectacular. I also have a black portland - the same except 30 mm rings which is great. But while the leather is really nice the brown leather is just more beautiful. If you ever find one at a good price you should absolutely grab it to try.... even if its just to see it.
Great Scores Vicky! I would like to start using my old and beat up 3-ring binder; so TYFS the inspiration as always! Hoping you can do a tutorial on your inserts again. I know you did one in the past on printouts but I really like the muted picture look too. TIA xoxo
I found a Day-Timer all leather zip around 9x6 in almost perfect condition for $5 Canadian on Ebay it's not exactly what I want!! but it's close enough and a great bargain !! Can't wait for it to arrive 🤗🤗🤗🤗
I'm currently using a Franklin Covey classic sized briefcase/purse type of planner. I LOVE it. I was using a A5 Recollections planner before (and the Happy Planner before that) but I wanted something I could carry around easier. Googled "planner purse," and my life was changed!
I am new to the planner community and subscribe to your channel. I love browsing Ebay and recently got a great deal on an Electric Blue Filofax Finsbury. I love the tip for fading pics and will incorporate that into building the dashboard for my new bargain. Thank you for posting.
I have a small collection of ring bound planners that I got second hand at charity shops for a couple of pounds each .my only issue is actually using them because I adore them..
Vicky, I wanted to tell you I did find a Franklin Covey Olive Green Planner Organizer - Distressed Full Grain Leather Planner --- Just received it -- Cannot wait to put it all together -- Thanks for all the great information -- I seem to be in love w all the same stationery finds you are!
When you search for free printables, what size do you start with to "resize" to your desired size?!? I get so frustrated sometimes!! Thanks for the vid... I enjoy your comments and ideas!!
I used to work for them, and their training on otganizational skills (for training customers on how to get the most from their planners) was very good. My pieces don't smell...but thats because consistently, i.e. since the 90's I have used them all and leather soaped/ cared for them. I am not into that old leathrr smell much...but it woukdnt stop mr these days too much...I got discounts, but my showpiece one was selling for anout $250. back then...think I paid about 180..the whole package with evevything. It's in mint condition.I'll never get rid of them. Oh...that unstructured you have is beautiful...I have that one which is my small carry around food diary usage...and running to the store.
If anyone has the old Franklin Covey page finder with the built-in calculator on it, or the old Franklin Covey planner charm that was a working compass....

Wow, thanks so much for sharing this. I've never seen an unstructured FC with removable rings - what a fabulous idea! Gorgeous.
Beautiful purchases. I've recently found some beautiful vintage planners and like you I love them. The zipper is great for travel.

I've recently purchased two vintage Day Timers...one with removable rings. I love older planners as well!! 😊
How do you like the Day-timer ? I just purchased a vintage piece in leather on EBay and can't wait for it to arrive !!!
+Frances Ann I love them both! They aren't leather, though. One is faux leather and the other is tapestry and faux leather...😊
+Melinda Ward the one I have ordered is real leather and looks in amazing condition I paid $5 Canadian for it
Hi!! Love your video. I had a really nice Franklin Covey planner years ago when I was in college. I wish I would have kept it.

I need to share my vintage finds. All from my local thrift store. All day timer, and franklin covey!
What an awesome idea of fading images found online!,thank you
Love vintage too :)
I have a small collection of ring bound planners that I got second hand at charity shops for a couple of pounds each .my only issue is actually using them because I adore them..
I would like to find an older planner like that. To me it's broke in and just all around easier to use. I don't have to be worried or fussy with it😊.
That is exactly what I thought and felt too!!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh --- I need a plush, soft, unstructured planner -- Hope I can find one!
Got my fingers crossed that you find one!! They are special little find!
