Hello, and welcome to The Common Corner~

Come along as I change the cover from the old Avec to the new, and reflect on the journey I have had.
Towards the end I will also fill you in on my experience at the 2024 Manchester StationeryFest~ a full haul of my purchases is coming soon in a separate video.

Beautiful video , I enjoy watching with my Hobonichi out in front of me ❤❤

[@elizabethlaza520]

Not me fangirling over the fact you met Jo and Bronte. It's like a crossover episode 🤣

[@thejournaldiaries]

Same!! :)

[@TheCommonCorner]

😄 Love this!

[@Jojournals90]

The notebook transfer ceremony was perfect 🥲 I cannot believe I managed to see and hold your notebook in person. Loved this video (as always) and can’t wait to see your flip through! Xx

[@thejournaldiaries]

It must of been so amazing to meet up and hold each others journals ❤ I don't know any journalers in my life so I would love to even just meet a journaler in real life 😊😊

[@TheCommonCorner]

I hope that this can happen for you sometime soon! 💌

[@TheCommonCorner]

🥺❤️

Loved this. We have many things in common with our stationery choices. I use this cover for my Avec, too. I learned about it from Petit Gloom. I have two gorgeous Hobonichi covers that I have had, and used, for years, but I just could not get in with the loop closures. I like the elastic band on the Kokuyo. And to get around the pocket issues, I have clear folders in A6 from Hobonichi to put my stickers, etc. I adore this cover. I am tempted to buy an extra to keep in reserve but have resisted so far. It’s really sturdy!

ahh I'm so excited! I just sat down to journal for the day this is such a perfect timing! :D

[@the.painted.flower]

I use a different system than you (a hobonichi weeks and a pocket tn, ) but you just inspire me to make it an enjoyable process and I just so enjoy your videos 😊

[@TheCommonCorner]

Thank you for the super kind words~ I am so glad youve found a system that works for you! Well done ❤️👏🥰

[@autisticbucky]

your videos always keep me in the best company! :) i’m glad to hear you had a good time at stationery fest! take care 💛

[@TheCommonCorner]

Im so honored! ❤️

[@kj.mclean]

I am honoured to be a witness to this ritual. Thank you for inviting us to join you.

[@kj.mclean]

This was wonderful. I wish I could have joined you all at Stationery Fest. 😀

[@TheCommonCorner]

Ah I know I've said it before, but I missed you there~ I think you would've loved it.

[@MrKitharo]

Another beautiful video, perfect to journal along and get new ideas! Really enjoy this weekly routine :-) PS: thanks for mentioning Jujutsu Kaiser in one of your older videos - so hooked! Now I want to watch another anime but I don't know if any will compare 😀

[@TheCommonCorner]

Hello! Thank you so much for always writing such kind words to me! I am so honored to join you in your journaling routine. Super glad to hear you enjoyed it!! I have been enjoying BungoStrayDogs recently, let me know what you think of it if you do happen to watch 😁

[@YellowSunStar]

I have been watching your videos for a long time, and I must commend your dedication to keeping up with what's left of your tabletop! Also lovely content, as usual. I remember once when I had outwritten a journal. I didn't want to let it go. I tipped in additional pages, I carried it with me for a while even when I already had taken on a new journal. So I understand the sentimental ritual and I respect it as such.

[@thejournaldiaries]

I love your username 😊😊😊

[@YellowSunStar]

@thejournaldiaries thank you! The name was given to me by a NA medicine man and that stuck with me ever since.

[@thejournaldiaries]

@@YellowSunStar beautiful ❤️

[@TheCommonCorner]

Thank you for these kind words and for tuning into this ritual of mine 💌

[@JoleeSO]

Just starting an avec as my memory journal 💜🐦‍⬛

[@gulsosan]

Such a lovely notebook transfer ceremony 🥹 I feel so inspired to build a deeper connection to my planners and notebooks after watching your videos! Thank you so very much for sharing your Hobonichi journey with us all ✨It’s past 11pm in Southern California where I live and though I’ve already settled into bed and wanted to watch a comforting video before resting for the night (your videos have become my new go to comforting planner videos to watch 💕) but now I feel so tempted to hop out of bed to journal even though I work in the morning 😅

[@TheCommonCorner]

Thank you for these sweet words...! It feels so encouraging to read them. I am grateful for everyone who has joined me in this journey!🍀❤️

[@Planner_girl_kel]

I hope you are also keeping the broken table. It would be perfect as a little breakfast table against the wall or as a little stationery display table.

[@TheCommonCorner]

As you might have noticed, I am yet to part with it! But definitely if I were ever to replace it, it would stay in my apartment. Your idea of it being a little stationery diplay table has been in my mind since you commented this! 🌾❣️

[@minapomelo]

Yay! So excited to watch this☺️💖

[@dlmarsh1916]

I greatly enjoy hearing the true love of your stationery in your voice as you share the ritual of leaving the complete and stepping into the incomplete. You show no hesitation about entering the new. I suspect that reflects how you approach life in general. ❤

[@TheCommonCorner]

What a beautiful string of sentences~ they made me feel very seen and appreciated. I am somehow an enjoyer of a refreshing chapter in life, even though it includes elements of the unknown~ Perhaps this stems from having moved countries 6 times in my life~? Thank you again for your kind words❤️

[@mel_diane6944]

Yay! 👏☺️

[@9FatraBbits]

I love your ritual of book transfer.🩷 Thank you again for a calm but energized ? visit. I’m keen to hear about the stationery festival!! Who knew there was such a thing?🐇🐇🐇
