Balinese Summer Decor Accessories $20 to $40

I love this journal! The fabric on the cover is beautiful and soft, with a little bit of padding inside. The binder mechanism opens and closes easily. It came with lined paper with a space to fill in a date at the top of each page. The paper doesn't handle wet inks well, but ballpoint pens and pencils are fine. The mechanism is a 6-ring A5 one with about 19 mm between rings and a 70mm gap in the middle. The inner diameter on the rings is about 19mm. I've been able to find refills that fit easily and make my own with an adjustable a5 6 hole punch.

This book is a treasure! Far more impressive than the photograph for the quality of care in every aspect of its construction. I got it as a gift for my partner as he tells wonderful stories of his childhood. Though he does not journal, I encouraged him to use this beautiful book to write those stories that they may be enjoyed by his children and perhaps grandchildren some day. I am an artist in the US, graduated from a well known art college. Freshman year, the Calligraphy class required that we create a book from scratch, including end papers, binding, cover etc. It took a month of serious effort and I am proud of my creation, but easily admit that this book far exceeds my own. It is simply beautiful.

I bought this item as a birthday gift for a dear friend. The picture does not do justice to it as the blue covering is vibrant and the leaf pattern quite striking. Even the gift wrapping was a work of art, so much so that my friend took a picture of it before opening the present. Needless to say that she loved the gift! Compliments to the artisan!
