Winner of the Monsieur Notebook

Olivia L from CA was the selected winner (#33) of the Monsieur Notebook as featured in this blog post.  Loved seeing all of the comments and emails about what people would do with this notebook should they win. Olivia said that she's an avid journaler and is about to finish her current journal so will start anew with her winning journal.
I neglected to mention the iconic mustached man with the monocle as pictured below (from the Monsieur website). This character is featured on the back of each journal. If you didn't want one before, you probably do now, I  imagine.
I should note that Tom from Monsieur Notebooks emailed to clarify that with use, the notebooks will lie flat. Mine is just too new and not yet broken in. I should go write a few notes in my journal now. Excuse me...

Congrats to the winner!

I found out just how fortunate a win that was.

Between the dollar to pound exchange rate and the shipping rate, I got a bit of sticker shock. I know the books are leather bound, but it was still a bit steep for a trial.

I would hope that a US distribution channel is established. However, I have encountered a multitude of supplies that are available on in the UK, so I am a tad pessimistic.

Here's hoping that the winner's review will be forthcoming soon. It would be helpful to know whether the product is worth the wait :)

Cheers and happy writing!
