is it ridiculous? it's something that i'll have forever right? for some reason i am having huge buyer's remorse for spending over $300 for an agenda. i can afford it, but it's a step away from jewelry (yet an agenda was on my MASTER list).
what's even worse is that i kinda want the matching pen, but they are charging $215 for it!
ladies, tell me it's ok, please. or else post something that you've had buyer's remorse for.

I purchased a fuschia filofax in 2002. (Actually, my work purchased it.) It was only $125 but I remember feeling incredibly guilty b/c I was *sure* I wouldn't carry it for long. (I always switched agendas each year.) Well, I have carried it ever since, and have never been even a little bit tempted to replace it with something else, including a PDA, so I think you made a great choice - if you love it, it's worth it.

i think it's very nice and classic--good purchase. i am with lisa, however, on the pen--i do not support $215 for a pen. i have a really nice pen that my grammy gave me one time that goes in my agenda--it's from cross and has a seashell motif on it. it's silver. i think you should get something like that instead.
I'm a supporter of the agenda as well - having an agenda has saved my life. I don't think I'd know what I was doing w/out one! I think you made a good purchase, but DON'T get the pen! It is not worth the money!
i'm jealous b/c i just bought a red dayrunner (yawn) agenda tonight b/c my work is making me keep a paper copy and an online version of my calendar... don't ask- i'm confused too!
*sigh* i wish i had yours! love it! don't feel bad at all!
Ditto. The agenda is awesome and it definitely is something you'll have for a long long time. But pens get lost too easily and $215 for a pen is a little ridiculous. If you think you're feeling guilty about the agenda, you'll be feeling much more guilty about the pen.
I think the agenda is awesome. To have something you use every day be beautiful is important. It's like drinking your coffee or tea in a pretty cup...it's a little thing but you always notice it and it perks you up! On a bad day at work, something like that is really worth it :)
