Sunday afternoon here in Magnolia, TX and I have just placed my first B6 slim order from CS, your videos are up, and I just had to say....THANK YOU, thank you for inviting us into your amazing world. I love listening to your voice, I love seeing your smiling face....thank you!!
Love your collection. You are correct. Everyone has something they collect or enjoy. Not everyone understands value until it is close to their heart. Some collect TN's, some bibles, some comic books, others teddy bears. Just because it doesn't agree with your style or like doesn't mean it doesn't have value. God bless you and your family. You all are awesome.
I can not wait for my buttered run weekly and my odyssey siren b6 slim to turn out like yours......stunning. I just got 1000 gifts, I can't wait to read and live it.
How did i miss this one? I needed to hear the joy and light you put in this world, especially today. Can defintely relate to dental pain. Im glad youre feeling better
Chic Sparrow travelers notebooks are breath taking. The way you talk about them inspire me so much. however I like Midori's skinny type of notebook but I am definitely unimpressed! I really like the Chic Sparrow so much!!! Thank you for introducing me to Chic Sparrow!
I appreciate all the info! I want to get my own planner and start journaling again. It can all seem very daunting but your video is so helpful. Thank you!
Ali this was the best video ever! I love Chic Sparrow and have many of her notebooks. It was so awesome that you showed how some of the leathers aged, how floppy or not they were and a close up of the colors. I am not a pink kind of girl-AT ALL but I have to say the english rose with the black stitching and elastics is stunning, and really has my heart, but I love them all. I use all of mine and move in and out of them often, but I do hoard one of them-my Ali Brown joy. I keep saying I'm going to set it up as a gratitude journal (because that seems appropriate) but I also want it to stay perfect =) . Anyway enough rambling, but great video!
This was very helpful, Ali! Trying to decide on my first TN, your insights into all the different leathers was really helpful. Keep up the great work! You are amazing!
My first Chic Sparrow was a BST Personal Pemberly in English Tea Rose. That was last September. I’ve since bought a new pocket Mr. Darcy in Buttered Rum, a Creme Nano, a Rustic Tote, and BST pocket Pemberly in Aubergine. I love the first Pemberly so much, I haven’t been able to move out and try the others.
I love Sweet Pea and Artemis. The color ages gorgeously. I bought one on the BST from the first run of the color and it was stunning and aged gracefully. Sadly it was not the right size for me, so it went to a new home. Now I have the Artemis in personal size which is my jam size. I love the Sidekicks I have. So sad the leather maker discontinued the leather. My favorite leather Chic Sparrow carries is the Black Beauty Creme. It stays looking new. I used a pocket plus I bought as my everyday carry for six months. My pre-teen wanted one SO badly and was a huge help to me at a crazy time of life, so I ended up giving it to her. Being a kid she is not as careful as I would be with my stuff, but it still looks great.
I love the time traveler, but found Chic Sparrow after it was retired. :( I got a personal on the BST group, but would love to buy more. . . especially in narrow or B6. Your collection is SO pretty Ali!
❤️🧡💛 I’m a B6 Slim girl too, but I’m a Deluxe girl! Ha! I need those pockets😉. Like you I’ve been buying CS TNs for several years now. I have every size from Pocket to B6 size. The newest to my collection is the Bingley Mr. Darcy and it’s gorgeous!! You have such a beautiful collection Ali!! Much love - Kimberli 💚💙💜
Your collection is fabulous! I love all the comparing you did with the colors and such. Green is one of my favorite colors and that Martini is such a nice shade of green! I really love chic Sparrow's Odyssey collection. Athena with the darkened edges is so pretty. I don't roll my notebooks, but I have an Outlander Browncoat that I want to roll. I think it will give it more character. I usually go for Deluxe, my Browncoat is my only classic. I could talk about these notebooks forever. lol. I want a Pemberly Angel. I don't have a Pemberly and the Angel color is gorgeous. Thanks for this Ali.
Thanks for bringing the joy, Ali! I'm an A6 girl and I just got the Mr Bennett.... It is GORGEOUS! But it seems like each new one I get is my favorite...hmmm.... 😂😂😂
Such gorgeousness😊! Now I’m planning and plotting on how can I get... and which one?... 🤔. I love how you flipped and flopped all the leathers and gave us close ups. Thank you for sharing your beautiful collection and have fun setting up the one you choose for summer🤗💗!
I know this is an old video but I just WON my FIRST Chic Sparrow in a giveaway and I'm IN LOVE! I never knew how WONDERFUL they really are because I'm not a planner. Now I'm journaling in TN's and not only my Bible journals so it makes sense to have one. I also started doing my sermon notes in TN's! I want all of them now! Lol. Or at least a small rainbow of them. Do your colored ones smell like leather? I'm looking at purchasing the Pemberly Caspian or another one in a blue when I've saved up enough but I'll be a little sad if it doesn't smell like leather... Only a little because I know it will be gorgeous anyway.
Omg i just saw u live in San Antonio. ❤❤❤ i was born in Kerrville and was raised in San Antonio and Uvalde Texas. We live in Macon, Georgia now because my hubby is a Assistant Pastor.
My favourite is the chocolate creme leather 😍 I'd love a B6 Darcy at some point though. I have a narrow Darcy burgundy but I don't use that size anymore.
I’ve been looking the bst for Tenerife Sea! I had one a long time ago; pocket plus; and sold it coz its not a size I love! Your collection is lovely! 👌🏼
If you put your print file on a thumb drive you could take it to Staples and print 10 copies REALLY fast and inexpensively then you will ha e copies ready to go. 😉
😍 they are all gorgeous but my eyes keep going back to the Mr Darcy (buttered rum?) I would like to own one someday. So time to save some pennies and figure out what size journal. Currently using an A 5 ring binder but would probably like something smaller. Thank you for sharing Ali 😀🙏
Debbie.P I have only ever bought one Chic Sparrow so far, and that one is a Buttered Rum Mr.Darcy, inspired by Ali. To be honest, I wanted something more like the Toffee (Athena in the Odyssey), but when I realized that eventually Buttered Rum would approach that color, I ordered that instead. I live in Arizona and have had my Mr. Darcy for only a few months, and he already looks like the older one Ali shows.
JoAnne Markov Thanks for your comment. Yes it ages and deepens in colour and has "character" Do like the teal one as well. Even though I am using an A 5 binder (prayer journal and art) I really would like something smaller and less heavy and flexible 😊
I love your collection! I am a classic fan and ordered yet another notebook from her sale. I don't know what is coming my way because it is a mystery sale, but after seeing your video, there's no way I could be disappointed. I am in a pemberly right now, but am looking forward to a Darcy. Are you excited about Bingly? Pride and Prejudice is a book I could read over and over again. He's my favorite character, but blue is my least favorite color. I don't think I will be getting him.
Isn’t the B6 Slim basically the same as the Personal size? I have been trying to find the size for me because I think the Narrow is too tall and the B6 too wide. I love your beautiful collection 😊
If I remember correctly from previous videos, she does it before writing because she uses a fountain pen, which would not play well with the watercolors.
Why do you like Classic over a Deluxe? I know you said here that if they are floppier, you take in a deluxe. I wish I liked the classic better, because they are cheaper! lol
Who cares what detractors think! I heard something GREAT today, which I knew but the way it was said was so clear: they're JEALOUS and want to be like you! Also, if someone isn't a planner "addict," they won't understand anyway, right? My daughter just laughs at me as I try to talk to her about journals and pens and things like that, and she'll say "love you, but don't care about notebooks," and it's all in good fun to us, but people who love you are HAPPY when you have joy!! Even if it is about a T.N. (LOL)
Wow quite the collection I just bought the small bag I wanted to check out everything and you can always use another bag I’m totally in love the quality is first rate and extremely well made I guess you can say I’m hooked lol now which TN do I want first...😍
it just hit me how your loving and stroking a piece of dead animals skin. lol put the lotion in the basket..... u may have convinced me to buy one though and i dont journal or plan. lol
Go Ali❤️GO ALI💜Go Ali💚💙🧡💛 I EsPeCiAllY loved... “you do your thing & I’ll do mine”. SOOooo True! HuGs~ Terry Y. (Saw you & Fam on Insta!! Sweet!! I’m TaFamilyTree on Insta;)

I have two B6 slims, and I use my Nano every day as my wallet. I am so thankful to you for introducing them to the world.
I love all paper related things! Planners, journals, art books you name it I pretty much love.
Glad you are out of pain. Tooth pain is the worst!

Beautiful collection!! Had to pause the video for a sec and pull out all of my favorite sparrows :)
I have the Outlander Time Traveler! As a matter of fact, it’s my first and only Chic Sparrow! I love it! It’s my favorite color!
I LOVE YOUR DK, GREEN nail polish !! And...I LOVE Chic Sparrow B6 Slim.

I too love the mr Darcy buttered rum. Just got a b6 slim in it...now to find some inserts.
Blue time traveler 😍 what an amazing collection

I knew I was going to see this video and regret not snatching up that Pemberly Fern!! It's gorgeous! Love your collection!
Love CS their products are awesome. So glad to see a video from you ☺️
B6 slim looks like a great size.
"And she liberated me today" Haha! Love it!
I use several sizes, but the B6 Slim is my favorite EDC. Love your collection!
Patina is my personal unicorn and I got one finally in the mail on the way to me now. I'm blessed to have it on the way.
Awesome collection....love them all !,

What an amazing and expensive collection!!! You’re so lucky !!! Just beautiful. Maybe one day I’ll win the lotto and buy some. Lol.
I like your style and to keep the work on ally

So pretty!!!
Yay an Ali Brown video!!! 😃

I love my outlander it's so soft but definitely scuffed easier than my Mr. Darcy but that's part of the charm 😉
Oh my goodness... I need a lemon drop in my life!!

UGH your buttered rums make me drooolll!!!
That buttered rum is ...gah! So yummy!

I love the B6 Slim, it's just the right size! My color collection is building... So, you use a Nano for a wallet instead of the Sidekick?
I have my first bullet journal ,would you happen to know what size cover I’d need ? Also where do you buy insert ? Thank you if yourstill doing them.
What is the best way to put in inserts in a TN with 4 bands. I was given my first TN, it had 4 bands and I’m not sure I set it up correctly?
Is that lamy yellow the fountain pen? I have the ballpoint and TT b6slim
It's my dream to have a collection of Chic Sparrow TN's (I just got my first two) and Spirithoods (I have four).
Can you send a link for the river paper you talked about, thanks!
Wow, Mr. Darcy Martini is gorgeous! Too bad it's retired :o(
Isn’t the B6 Slim basically the same as the Personal size? I have been trying to find the size for me because I think the Narrow is too tall and the B6 too wide. I love your beautiful collection 😊
Do you plan in a b6 slim or only journal?
Thanks!
I want buy my first chic sparrow ~but I can’t decide which one😂 buttered
Rum or blue jay
Ali I have a question. Do you do your plops before or after you Journal?
If I remember correctly from previous videos, she does it before writing because she uses a fountain pen, which would not play well with the watercolors.
Prometheus is retired? 😭 such a gorgeous red
Awesome👌
Why do you like Classic over a Deluxe? I know you said here that if they are floppier, you take in a deluxe. I wish I liked the classic better, because they are cheaper! lol

Wow quite the collection I just bought the small bag I wanted to check out everything and you can always use another bag I’m totally in love the quality is first rate and extremely well made I guess you can say I’m hooked lol now which TN do I want first...😍
lisa boch
it just hit me how your loving and stroking a piece of dead animals skin. lol put the lotion in the basket..... u may have convinced me to buy one though and i dont journal or plan. lol
Too many notebooks? Does not compute
I agree....One cannot have 'too many notebooks.' haha!
My next Chic Sparrow will be a buttered rum.
