Adding Charms to A Traveler's Notebook (Galen Leather Wallet Setup)

[@JournalSunshine]

Okay, where are my Traveler's Notebook-As-A-Wallet people! I'm new to this setup and I'd love to hear how you make yours work for you. Also, here are the products I featured in this video: Traveler's Company Passport TN in Camel: www.jetpens.com/TRAVELER-S-COMPANY-TRAVELER-S-notebook-Starter-Kit-Passport-Size-Camel-Leather/pd/15941 Galen Leather Passport TN Wallet Insert in Crazy Horse Forest Green (sold out at the moment, but they have it in other colors): www.galenleather.com/collections/leather-passport-wallets/products/leather-wallet-insert-for-travelers-notebook-passport-size-crazy-horse-forest-green Baum-Kuchen Travel For Life Brass Plate: www.baum-kuchen.net/products/tslxbaum-kuchen-travel-for-life-brass-plate Pilot SL-F1 Mini Pen, I purchased it from JetPens but they don't appear to sell them anymore.

I use the camel passport as a wallet, I love it. I don't get to take it out much, but it's honestly the perfect wallet because it's a book.

[@JournalSunshine]

Ahh yay! Wallet twins!

[@irenejuppe1980]

Thank you for sharing your video. I enjoyed watching your setup. I also love the chubby little scissors. 😊🥰

OMG that is my favorite charm ever! I have mine on my olive edition traveler's notebook that I had customized by Baum-Kuchen. It is the charm that inspired me to make my own :)

[@JournalSunshine]

Wow! I missed out on the Olive but I’ve been saving up for a Truly Yours customization! Your charms make me smile so much.

[@carolturner1976]

I really like your walllet set-up. The best I have seen.

[@JournalSunshine]

Thank you so much! There are so many out there and I watched approximately one million videos before I decided how I wanted to do mine. I love how customizable it is!

I've had a Galen Leather passport size as my wallet with various inserts for the past six years. It's a little chunky and it's not that full but it's a pretty blue with four strings and so functional I haven't thought twice about replacing it.

[@dawndietz4654]

Thanks for the help! I was wondering how to add my charms.

green band is life, I have it also in my two camels

[@JournalSunshine]

Haha yes!!

[@brianbrewer2882]

Hi… love tn’s so much!! I love your content too. Thanks for sharing!

[@JournalSunshine]

Aw, thank you!

[@ZolaneG]

Such a wonderful charm and your camel notebook is lovely, as is the Galen Leather insert💚 I just received a gently used camel passport that I plan to set up as my wallet, too, but am waiting on a couple little things and may condition the notebook to deepen the color a bit. Thank you for sharing your setup!

[@JournalSunshine]

Thank you! Aw, that sounds lovely! I’ve been thinking about buying a used camel regular size TN because I’ve been enjoying this one lately, especially after conditioning it. I haven’t been using it as a wallet setup lately; now, it houses a tiny journal and a sketchbook!

[@thomas-marx]

Always love your content! Thanks Lauren!!!

[@JournalSunshine]

Aw, thanks so much! Really glad you're enjoying it. Thanks for commenting!

[@slowlybutshelly]

I have a different brand and can’t do this with. Lucky you

[@JournalSunshine]

Ooh, interesting! Which brand is it? Does it still have an elastic closure or is it another type? For notebooks where you can’t untie the elastic, you could also use jump rings and pliers to attach charms.

[@mkcohen89]

I loveeee the galen leather insert! I bet it would work as a cover all on it's own if you wrapped a rubber band around the middle and slipped a notebook or two around the band.

[@JournalSunshine]

Oh, for sure! It’s really beautiful and durable by itself.

[@ocean4763]

I love the Trust the Process paper airplane charm from Baum Kuchen, but it’s so expensive when you add on shopping to Canada 😢

[@JournalSunshine]

Aww, yeah. International shipping out of the US has been skyrocketing the last few years, sadly.

[@anicame2]

Hi Lauren. Are you still using the passport tn? How is that little pen working?

[@JournalSunshine]

I’m using a few passport TNs at the moment! The setup for this one has changed, but I’m always changing them - it keeps things interesting. I keep the little pen in my bag in case I need to sign a receipt here or there, so I don’t use it very often, but it works well for that.

Do you have a link to the Etsy shop?

[@JournalSunshine]

Can you clarify which Etsy shop you mean? Trying to scan through the video to see where I mentioned an Etsy shop.

[@amysolomon4885]

It was the one you mentioned for planner charms. I think you said east end?
