My diary this year was an impossibly cute floral embroidered creation. See how shimmery the fabric is?

Even the flap for holding the diary closed sports a cute pink flower. Love little details like this.

All the pretty flowers and month names are actually embroidered and photographed as backgrounds. Charming!

This has been another fantastic product brought to you by San-X!

For 2001 it was a denim patchwork refillable organiser with graphics printed on – too adorable!!

 

 

Bunny Girls is one of those one-off cartoons at Kamio I guess, cos I don’t see them in any stationery these days.

 

I just love this furry cover of my Y2K diary.

 

 

Of course, the pages inside are just as cute!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The other schedule book for Y2K was also a bear one. It was a present from a good friend. I’m so easy to shop for, ha ha!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Didn’t have any Y2k bugs to fix in paper diaries! *silly giggle*

 

My 1999 diary brings back sweet memories of an Italian holiday…land of  the best ever pizza and gelato I’ve ever tasted…. this Dali calendar / datebook was printed by Migneco & Smith, which reproduces paintings for postcards, calendars and posters

 

This image is about Dali’s signature concept of melting time.

 

 

Sorry about the cut off bottom, my scanner could only take up to A4 length.

 

 

 

I chose this calendar because Dali’s paintings are so bizarre and the strange feelings I get looking into his mind feels both eerie and voyeuristic.

 

 

My 1998 diary was not the usual splash of colour…but I liked this one for its clean white spaces and cute doodles.

The monkey’s name is Uki – but I don’t see any Uki products from San-X anymore.

 

This is something I didn’t see at any of the stationery places in sg. So cute…sigh….

 

My diary from ‘97 was printed by Sun-Star Stationery Co Ltd. Made in Japan!
