My Chic Sparrow Collection

[@IAmStoryGirl]

Oh! Writing thoughts down before you read... that is BRILLIANT! I need to do that. My brain gets in the way so much with God. Thanks for the idea sister. :0) ❤️❤️

[@DocumentedJourney]

Ali- I’m rewatching this because I miss ya! And your pocket collection 😍😍😍

[@yivasravens297]

[@AliBrownie]

Y'all are crazy hilarious!!! hahaha!

[@MKathyONeal]

Hi Ali! I just found and subscribed to your channel. I am interested in knowing how you do your bible studying. I have a prayer/Bible journal that I created, but am lacking creativity to add to it. Just wondering what you do. Love your channel!!

[@AliBrownie]

You can watch this video to see my Spiritual Journal Setup: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6a6epSOrcqLfs0 xoxo

[@CaliforniaTravelTips]

Aw, thanks for featuring my expense ledger! You are so sweet! :) Veronica

[@debbieclark3939]

I also am a collector ;). For me I have given away several which I didn't "love"... "spark joy". I still have several in various sizes. All of which I love. I change sizes often enough, that I'm keeping them all! My favorite will change with seasons. I would say don't sell. (unless it's one that doesn't spark joy). You just might have another season of A6. Thank you for sharing with us!

[@ashlynlaramore2547]

Are you kidding you don't use your A6s? I love that size! I might just have to buy one from you!

[@moonlightcabin9395]

Ali, you're a bad influence!! I was *this* close to getting a Personal size and now I'm torn between that and a B6 Slim! Slippery slope, indeed! haha!

[@ejavenger]

I got the creme chocolate in personal and it is awesome. But this video is making me want to buy more. Lol Ali is a bad influence. Wait I mean an awesome influence. Chic Sparrows are addicting for sure.

[@moonlightcabin9395]

She is responsible for me finally pushing me into B6 Slim territory! I got the notification that my Mr Darcy is in transit and I can't wait for it to arrive! Enjoy your Creme Chocolate, that is such a gorgeous choice! I get what you mean, one taste of C.S and we are junkies! haha!

[@michespapernook]

They are both great sizes

[@gabrielleliu1684]

Moonlight Cabin hhh me too

[@jnfrle]

8:27 😄 I'm now imagining your grandma-sounding husband say "that's the one that started it all!" waving a cane and wearing glasses at the tip of their nose.

[@mbh0422]

I was hoping you would publish a new collection video, thanks for sharing!

[@managingmarlys]

Hi, you don't have passport size?

[@sarahbergquist9313]

What if you cut your wide down to b6 slim size

[@peggywilliams8229]

Do you still have your angel pemberly

[@HeidiLilley]

On Saturday I got my very first Chic Sparrow. An Angel Pemberly in B6 slim.... I'm just starting to get it set up.... I need to buy more inserts for it.... where can you suggest getting good inserts that will hold up to all kinds of media? I am toying with making my own, except I am not good at all at binding, so am really not inspired to do that. I only purchased two inserts from Chic Sparrow, and am kicking myself in the A** for not getting at least 4. HELP.

[@HeidiLilley]

Okay, since watching this video, I just went back and I am in process of placing another order... LOL, I am getting a classic chocolate B6 slim and a creme brule nano.... and some inserts, cause, I just have to have inserts to tide me over till I decide what to do about them..... Also..... YOU are an enabler !!!!

[@saraberry89]

Love it! I love that they're such a good investment. You'll always be able to sell them if you need to! Love the red lippy btw!!

[@MommytoaMicro]

Your personal darcy is just gorgeous!

[@AliBrownie]

Thank you! :)

[@meldajeanphotographyfilm3543]

Hey lady I'm just getting into traveler's notebooks. If you EVER want to sell the rainbow, let me know. I LOVE you vids. Great job

[@AliBrownie]

I think I am going to sell it! I will hopefully post here soon where you can buy. Thanks so much for watchin'!!! xoxo

[@consistentlychristy2991]

I loooove your manatee! I wish those were a thing. Personally I'm not afraid to sell the ones I don't use/grow out of. It's part of the fun for me. I have a pocket buttered rum that I don't plan to get rid of so I can watch the patina process. Love b6slim

[@dsrabi]

What size are your notebooks for the b6?? I am looking at a zequenz 5x7... what size should Inget?

[@AliBrownie]

I dont' have a B6, I have a B6 Slim. B6 holds 5x7 inserts. :)

[@devilzdandruff9199]

Question.. why did you acquire so many that you frankly do not use? Innocent question. I have a few standard and a few pocket sized but for practical purposes, I feel like it makes more sense to find a good way to store all the inserts when I am done with them.. I feel like perhaps sometimes people are too focused on the canvas. Why not just get a regular notebook? They store much easier. At what point does it just become a treated leather collection? Btw.. the first one you stated that you want to sell looks terrific. Perhaps the most elegant one you showed (at least that’s how it looks on camera). Cheers and happy journaling.

[@AliBrownie]

That is a great question! You answered it yourself. :) I personally like to switch my covers around as some women do purses. Some people collect model cars, Norman Rockwell plates or state spoons...I collect notebook covers...which is where the video title came from. Hope that answers the question and thank you so much for the kind comment on my first notebook and for watching! Take care!

[@katiebyrd7701]

Girl i straight up covet your storyteller wide! All the heart eyes!! Jesus take the wheel! Also you are the reason for my obsession so I love hate you but really i only love you......TN's are the only way I plan and the only way I art journal now.... It's a beautiful obsession lol

[@thatgirl.2838]

Beautiful collection! B6 is my jam too! I go with the regular one though! I also just ordered a nano for my new wallet. I was using a pocket. But I think it might be too big for a wallet.

[@pamelamikel7967]

love your refined collection! so assorted, so beautiful. I too have those I can't let go, no matter what! isn't that ok? lol please more videos, miss you too much. pam in texas

[@LittleGidget1]

OMG…. The future me

[@CraftingVicky]

wow that was a drooling experience lol Now I'm all confused as to what I want... there are so many fabulous ones!

[@LilDivette]

Omg, love it! 😍📚 You definitely made me feel better about my CS collection 🙈😊🙊 (I posted a pick of it on IG for the CS photo contest if you're curious). Love your channel!

[@SociallyDistantnow]

Ali I know this video is 18 million years old but my heart flutters for that old sized personal deluxe buttered rum. And “slow to see” brought tears to my eyes the first time I saw it because I related so much to it. If you ever decide to sell it (if you haven’t already) my life would be complete if you thought of me. I’d love to purchase it ❤️

[@TiffanyJulia]

Ooo I love seeing your collection! I've been thinking for a while to try either a personal or B6. I'm in a standard and A6, but am feeling for something in between. B6 seems to be winning out though. :D Gotta get me one. Thanks for sharing!

[@liliana1lfr]

Where do you find most of your inserts for the B6 slim?

[@AliBrownie]

I print and bind my own calendar inserts from Growing Up Goddess online and then I buy the 68gsm Tomoe River paper standard insert from Taroko Designs and then just chop an inch off of it. :)

[@thescrappyappleyard3497]

Awww....loved seeing your beautiful collection! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@shivaunoneill7133]

Ali - you’ve got some beautiful A6s there - I’ll be happy to help you unload if you decide to sell! I love A6! I am toying with B6slim size. What are your favorite inserts?

[@pattyaizaga]

I'm not up to 6 Chic Sparrow TNs! 2 pocket, 1 personal, 1 wide, 2 b6 slims! I have yet to set up the B6 slim b/c on is red for Christmas and the mr darcy buttered rum is on the way! Can't wait!

[@buddieross8742]

Those are all so beautiful! I have wanted a chic sparrow since I started with the TN’s & just can’t afford one yet! One day.... lOl 😆 Anyhow, I completely understand how you got so many! They look like they are so easy to love & hard to part with! I have a Webster’s pages one that I found on clearance right now, but one day I’m hoping to get a B6 size real leather one like yours. I am in love with them all!! You’re so lucky & I am so envious of you! Thank you for sharing your collection with us & also the video where you showed the sizes & stuff! That helped a lot! Have a blessed day! Sincerely, Nicole 👋🏼

[@AzaleaLala]

No judge. It's a beautiful collection. My collection has grown as well. It's quite random and wonderful. I will never part with any of them. lol. You should keep your Darcy. Just take a couple of them and store the journals you've done for your sons in them or with them. They can use the journals when they get older.

[@christinewallace9625]

phennec, That is a great idea! Her little men see her use them all the time, I bet at some point they will mean allot to to them and encourage them to use them in their own way.

[@posyblue266]

Girl if you ever decide to sell that beautiful rainbow marble I would like to formally submit my name. I'm in LOVE and would 100% buy it from you

[@BlueNoodle79]

B6 slim is awesome. Just got one in Pemberly Angel. I put a pink elastic on it to match my Lamy fountain pen. Looks super cute :o)

[@Ceme612]

Omg, I love this! If you ever decide to sell your Sojourner, please reach out to me ... I have been looking for an A6. Better go check the bst page again, its been a while. Take care.

[@christinewallace9625]

Ali, you are a beautiful soul! You give so much of yourself to others. Your videos always make me smile and feel happy. You are inspiring. There is nothing wrong with collecting and hanging onto things that make you feel happy. You never know, you may one day decide you need them for something and be glad you saved them. Hugs and love!

[@BACK2UL8R]

I love your storyteller! It's gorgeous! I wasn't a big fan of Darcy on the CS site, but I love how your have aged! I 'm going to have to save up for a buttered rum now. I wish toffee was still available though...

[@tracyleecornish5398]

Starting small with a Mr Darcy Personal my first Chick Sparrow if only postage was a little cheaper to Australia. This one is a treat for my birthday cant wait to welcome it into my world lol.

[@petyashalamanova3634]

I would buy that Darcy from you in a heartbeat! I just found your channel and you are amazing, sooo much great content!!! I love your personality and energy and thank you for making them!

[@cosmogurl85]

I've fallen into the bunny hole, I have my son my bythe bought a creme Brule creme personal next one I'm getting is a outlander navy blue pocket plus 1st of June so excited, your a great influence lol

[@CoolCraftyCreations]

Absolutely beautiful collection! Thanks so much for sharing this!

[@alisonmcwonderland7397]

Where can you buy used CS?

[@AliBrownie]

There's a buy/sell group on Facebook. :)

[@Jen-lo8zp]

What a beautiful collection and a beautiful relationship you have with Jennifer at Chic Sparrow.

[@alanaellsworth4472]

I’m in a similar dilemma. I just bought a narrow handsome toffee bc I was using narrow inserts at the time but now I’m so into b6 slim. I got it as a gift tho so it’s rlly hard to part even tho it may have no use 😔

[@dtmama]

OMG, I missed seeing your new videos and I love love love your TN videos. Thank you!!!!

[@stephb700]

I'm a baby-stepper, too! God bless you, Ali! Loved seeing your journals, thank you 🤗

[@Curlyhairanddaisies]

Ahhh!!! I've been so excited for this! Thanks Ali.

[@shirleyhaberle86]

Ali, no judge here, still can't decide what size I want..... crazy

[@lisaomarali679]

Love your collection! I am using A6 for planning and journaling as its portable for me ❤

[@Dreblueskies]

Love, love, love Chic Sparrow. Your collection is beautiful.

[@bobbijothiering8051]

Ali I have been away for a long time and I have missed you and your videos. It's going to take me a looooong time to get through them all.

[@videosabia]

Well, glad to see them all together - I don't feel so bad with my 23 TNs now :)

[@peggywilliams8229]

Would you be interested in selling your outlander a6

[@AliBrownie]

That one is a retired leather and I'll know I would regret selling it. I'm moving from a pocket to an A6 for my spiritual journal so I'm hangin' on to it. :)

[@peggywilliams8229]

Ali Brown Thank you

[@tinapanna3613]

I ADORE Jen & her “Sparrows” !!!! They r my faves!!!!

[@greenmittens]

I have always had hearts in my eyes for your pocket Tenerife Sea. *wink wink*

[@michespapernook]

Miss you girlie xoxo thanks for another great video

[@LisasOddities]

If you are willing to part with the Ali Brown Joy, I may purchase it. I missed it when that one was being sold. I love the color, it is absolutely radiant, just like you! 😍

[@AliBrownie]

Aww thank you! That's the one notebook that I probably would hand onto with my A6s. ;)

[@anongray8075]

Thanks for the tour of your collection! Tell me, is the nano the same size as the passport?!

[@kaytexfolkart3412]

How awesome! I’m green cause I can’t afford ONE!!!!

[@nicolestark3316]

Ali Brown it's been a hot minute. Love ya girl!

[@BleuEye]

What color is the pocket TN Blue/green?

[@amy51373]

I just ordered a Pemberley Honey with an inscription I got from one of Ann Voskamp's devotionals. Such beautiful work Chic Sparrow does! Your video was great, I love seeing all the different leathers.

[@AliBrownie]

LERV Ann Voskamp!

[@marilynholland9932]

Ali where do you get your calendar inserts and where do you get your cut outs? Can you just believe I have learned about these planners yesterday. The first cover has been ordered now tying to get things to fill it with.

[@AliBrownie]

I print and bind my own calendar inserts from Growing Up Goddess online and I'm not sure about the cutouts you're referring to? Could you give me a timestamp so I can figure that out for ya? So excited you're getting in the TNs! They are so fun! xoxo

[@rebeccac4751]

Geez, I’d just like to have one 😆

[@paulasaraiva7136]

love them all but the A5 is my fav :) A 5 is my jam ! so nice to have you back xoxo

[@gabrielleliu1684]

OMG I looooove that nano size it's just sooooo cute!!!

[@saraberry89]

PS I would totally buy Mr Darcy!

[@nurseratched8370]

Thank you sharing your gorgeous collection!!! Another poster suggested an auction and that's such a great idea!

[@AliBrownie]

I thought about that, but thought I would then be accused of being greedy. :/

[@courtneyd92]

Oh my gosh the yellow Joy has me all 😍😍😍

[@alexandrianicole3874]

SO GLAD YOU'RE BACK!!!

[@cosmogurl85]

I buy your yellow joy if you ever sell her

[@jeribrunke3440]

Interested in selling the Manatee?

[@elizabethsommerville3884]

Wow! Ali, your collection grew so fast and so big! Love It!

[@AliBrownie]

It's been about 3 years, so I'd say it has grown steadily. ;)

[@TheDkelley]

I love your collection

[@shannonjohnson662]

OMG I love your collection :) Do you plan to sell any of them ?...

[@AliBrownie]

I have already sold a few from this bunch. The only one I would sell currently is the Teneriefe Sea B6Slim classic. I'm not loving the way it has darkened with age. It's more of a deep teal now.

[@alexandrianicole3874]

You should auction the ones you don't use, so you can donate to your favorite non-profit. That way something good can come out of being sad about getting rid of the ones you don't use!

[@thatwendygirl68]

great video! what is the softest, floppiest of the Nano choices?

[@AliBrownie]

Thank you! I would say Pemberley or the Creme leathers.

[@LizReeves1971]

So awesome!

[@janiewilliams2750]

Love your collection! You can never have too many Chic Sparrows lol.

[@KelsoRockz]

It really makes my heart happy to see videos about your Sparrows again! I’ve been following you on this journey since I last September. I know you do more artistic things now, but I miss the good old planning in a Sparrow days! Haha

[@AliBrownie]

Since I have the same system as my last setup from almost a year ago, it would really be boring to show the same thing over and over. haha! ;)

[@WhereWhoMe]

I love seeing your collection. I think I'm going to try to catch the second chance sales to help me figure out the size... and when I work out the perfect size, I'll then get it in a Mr. Darcy leather I like. For now, I'm just playing around with laminate to make my own cover since I got tired of coming up with ideas to use up little strips of paper from trimming pocket inserts. 😅

[@kajellio]

I got a titanic nano for a wallet and love it. I’m currently wavering between Chic Sparrow and Keelindori for an A5. Won’t be until December that I can get one, anyway, so there’s time to decide.
