Mrs. John L. Strong is known for making exquisite hand-engraved stationery, world leaders, presidents and royal families are among her loyal customers and I imagine some of history's most important notes have been scribbled on Mrs. Strong's distinctive papers! The House Book or, "Diary & Directory Series" is their latest luxury must have. Hand sewn on the finest Italian leather and touted as "The quintessential luxury for the well ordered household" this book promises to bring order to every aspect of domestic living. Avoid annoying mishaps, like having your cleaning lady arrive unexpectedly...the book has a place for it all, deliveries, grounds keepers. This sort of organization does not come cheap, the house book costs a staggering $495. For now I will stick to post its and napkins!

Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, this type of book is hopelessly outdated and most busy people now rely on Outlook or another organizer to keep track of schedules. I recall a similar book I used to keep and how ratty it looked at the end of the year.

Outdated or not, it still is a great reference book for your
home, afterall it is a "House Diary"... easy to find for
everyone, and all your information you need is in one
place, this book! No need for passwords or
your computer being down... I have a series of a similar
diary, leather, and I keep them from year to year. Ocassionally, I will use a previous year to reference a date, or information.
