My pleasure to share. Personally I find using the evercolor more stress free than swift because it's slightly grainy compared to swift. The SA described evercolor to be a cross between swift and Togo. You get the bright colour like swift but scratch free nature of Togo. HTHPS-I know its not getting a ton of wear right now, but would you be able to comment on the diff between evercolor and swift in any way? Always interested ( in everything!).
Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?
Yup! It’s the Craie BdC.....the only light colored bag in residence......

Nice haiku!My Ulysse planner that I use as a daily meditation for positive thoughts. Today I wrote a haiku:
chaos here today
Quarantine meltdown, oh no!
A new day awaits.
also, on a side note, check out the Getty museum quarantine art project were you recreate famous art...I laughed hysterically and made my own
Can you share your famous art masterpiece with us?
I am also an Ulysse agenda fan!
I have two sizes that I use regularly - the blue one I posted earlier is the medium size and I use it as a desk notebook at work. I have the blank pages, and use it to scribble phone call notes, messages, reminders etc. I don’t date the pages, but I do flag important pages with post-its. I’ve taken it in to meetings as it fits in my B30. It is unlined Togo in Bleu Electric.
I also have the next size down - I use that at home for similar notes/planning etc. It’s dainty and I got the lined insert for this one. This one is RP lines with BE in swift (?). This one would make a good travel notebook I posted a corner of it with the green giant Calvi on this thread.
They also have an even smaller size that would be nice in a handbag for daily use - grocery lists, to-do lists etc.
Some have additional pockets - those are obviously more expensive compared to the basic unlined simple ones.
Hope this helps - the Ulysse thread in the clubhouse probably has more info but if you need more specific details, I happen to have some time in my hands.
Love this! Have been wanting a Ulysses for years but feel like I never have anything important enough to write in it
I caved in and bought one when I realized that I *always* used a notebook by my phone - to take notes of conversations etc. I used to scribble on loose scraps of paper, but I’ve had to refer to them later, so upgraded to a bound notebook and then the Ulysse.Love this!

I save all my older books - I’ve been able to refer back 5 years to a conversation/contract details, and eventually came up with a “permanent” notebook where I collate certain important info.
Gorgeous colours!
Can you tell me about the green piece, it looks interesting - is it a Calvi Pouch?
Love your U’s! I have an anemone one I adore, and figured out how to rig it for the journals I’ve used for years - I find that paper even nicer than H paper (amazing, because H paper is lovely). Love your swift? cover!!
Yes, it’s the large Calvi pouch with insert. Meant for the mini iPad but I use it as a clutch when I only need to carry a key card/cash and phone.Gorgeous colours!

I considered using it to hold my circular knitting needle set, if I can figure out how to keep them sorted.*
*i have a slight addiction to SLGs and tend to buy them impulsively but then it bothers me if I can’t find a purpose for the piece.
I have a beautiful flat Small Tohu bohu pouch (gorgeous lamb skin) that is almost useless - too flat and soft to carry cosmetics without leaving imprint marks - it holds US cash perfectly, but Canadian is just marginally bigger and catches on the zipper. It could hold receipts, but I already have a pocket in my insert that does that. While I love the feel of it, until I find its purpose, it sits on my shelf.
Ok, Dave the chill German Shepherd asked if he could see his “cousin” today. It just happens to be the wolf in awooooo by Alice Shirley! Now he is NOT a boy that likes being covered up, and no fat fluffy beds for him. In fact if there is wood, steel or a sharp corner he likes to jam up against it to sleep. Go figure 
But I caught him in a rare “ok mom, if you must” moment. This is my only cashmere as I just run too warm for it, but I also snapped the screen from H.com to show you all what one colorway of the scarf looks like in full if you haven’t seen it. Alice Shirley is such an animal and nature lover and I adore her work. I do believe Dave thinks I’ve gone round the bend, but he loves me anyway - aren’t dogs the best!!

Ooh, what brand/style journals do you use? And how do you rig them to fit?
I have a punch and round corner machine that I could use to make my own version, but I really like the H paper.
I can’t find the brand or where I got them anymore! It doesn’t say on my journal. I’ve got 4 left, and will have to look elsewhere when they are gone. They are hard back which I like for note taking etc. I made a plastic snap in piece for the U cover, then put marine velcro on that, the other half on the back of the journal and velcro it in. The front cover is still free, but it’s very functional. Sometimes in professional meetings I sit in a hotel ballroom, and take notes on my lap, so the hardback journal with the lovely anemone Togo leather lets me take good notes and keeps me entertained, even if the meeting doesn’t!
