There is something magical about unwrapping a leather bound book. I think it’s a bit like opening the wardrobe door that leads to the land of Narnia…where anything is possible.

The Old School collection was designed with one intention in mind…to inspire you to unabashedly pour out your secret dreams and desires. Put them into word pictures…read them and reread them until they become a part of you. Believe in the reality of what is alive in your imagination…for it all begins here. You are the sower, sowing the seeds of your desires. Know your desires are a gift from life itself, and life has the ways and means to bring them into being.

The quote on this one is another favourite of mine by the beloved Thomas Troward.

“we are all beginners…and indeed the hopefulness of life is in realizing that there are such vistas of unending possibilities before us…that however far we may advance…we shall always be on the threshold of something greater.”
