Re: Never settled

[annofowlshire]

It's a nice little thing, good for keeping some bits together. I found most of the photos and videos of it are a bit unrealistic for daily use, staged and overstuffed.

I'm still very tempted by the Writer's Medic Bag (and the Writing Box...), but since I work remotely and basically don't leave the house for days at a time, I'm like "where would I actually use it?" XD The portfolio works around the house, although to be honest I often just take the notebook and a pen if I'm out and about and sometimes not even that. I hate carrying a load of stuff with me. (Also see: why I can't cope with a multiple notebook system.)

I'm the same about the medic bag. Its so lovely to look at but I don't really have a use for it.

I would probably not use the medic bag, but I got a gift card that covered part of the cost of the Writing Box and I did pick it up as a lap desk, I do really like it.

Oh that's cool.

Did you buy directly from Galen or from a shop in the US?

Re: Never settled

I bought from them through Etsy because that's what I got the gift card for.

Cool. I love Etsy so much.

I forgot to mention that I really appreciate the actual use pictures and feedback, because I've looked at the portfolio for a while and I've wondered how it would work out in practical use. I've heard rumors of dye bleed on the leather, but it seems pretty solid.

Hard same. That's one of my favorite aspects of this comm.
