Hi Dear Folk,
I really do not go in for Brand Names just so I have a brand name item, just not me, I prefer a bargain, but when freebies come ones way from a vendor well who says no.
I have never had a Moleskine before, but have always looked at them in the stationery shops and thought one day, well here is my one day and I went for the red. This one has the ruled lines and a little pocket at the back, just right. It now sits in my handbag.
When I was a teenager I used to wear a moleskin coat, handed down to me from a great aunt, in fact I think it was my great aunt Rose's, see previous posts. Maybe not politically correct these days, but it was pretty old when I got it. The label inside said Scottish Mole Skins. It was a deep, deep brown color and the size of every little skin was about 3" long x 2" wide, all seamed together. It was beautifully soft, had a wonderful sheen and was so warm for those cold, damp British winters. It had a swing from the shoulders so may have dated from the forties. I wore that coat for several years. If I remember rightly it was the fashion to wear old coats then, in the seventies. So when I think of Moleskin I think of that coat and that era of my life.
The coloured gel pens are from Zebra, Pink, Apple green and Mahogany. I love gel pens to write with and always use a blue gel pen at work.
A Bobble bottle, can't say I was familiar with this brand, but some are. However I do like it, very ergonomic. With a water filter inside. I will take it with me to Hawaii I think.
My little goodies.

So exciting to get freebies! Yours are very good. Paul has moleskin trousers but they are not real moleskins. I suppose they are called that because of the feel of them.
