Fresh as a Daisy

Daisy Art Journals

Like every other dutiful American, you’ve made your list of New Year’s resolutions.

1. Run a marathon (as if).
2. Drink less (riiight).
3. Save more (how does that work again?).
4. Do good deeds (does smiling count?).
5. Keep a journal.

Hmmm, that last one may actually be doable.

Especially if you treat yourself to a pretty Daisy Arts Bella Bow journal. The Italian leather-bound blank books, composed of acid-free pages interleaved with rice paper, will lend your crazy thoughts a very sophisticated look. Available in fun color combos like lime green and pink, sky blue and lime green, and sky blue and brown, the gorgeous diaries will inspire you to follow through with your goal. And since they’re small enough to fit in a purse, you can break yours out whenever you have a free moment.

Like in between all that running and teetotaling.

Available at Flax Art & Design, 1699 Market Street, between Gough and Valencia Streets (415-552-2355 or henryandlulu.com).
