Journal

     

This is the third time collaboration between ACE Hotel and Traveler's Company. I felt very lucky to be able to attend this event!  For some of you may never heard of

ACE Hotel before, here is a brief intro of ACE Hotel.

 

 Ace Hotel New York lives in a 1904 historic, turn-of-the-century building in Midtown Manhattan, invested with the spirit of its surroundings, the culture of the city and the ancient bones of the building.  Full of local art, thoughtful details and the best beds in the universe.

 

 

       The event was hosting for total 3 days in ACE Hotel. From 17th(Fri) - 19th(Sun) Nov.  Although I went there on a rainy Saturday afternoon, there were still a lot of TN fans there trying to customizing their own Spring ring notebook, stamping on their new refills.

 

        

       

The lineup from the entrance.  It was a bit dark in there, ACE Hotel truly repersent a nice retro New York vibe.

         

        

         

      

             

        Beautiful and unique refill covers illustrated by New Yorker artist Nicol Appel.

      OK! It's time to make my own spiral ring notebook! Yayy!! :-P

     

         

           1st Step: Pick Your Own Cover

         

   

  I also choose these 2 pages as my opening pages.  Love the map and the camel illustrations!

      Truly wished they has sticker out of these cool original illustrations!

         

        Last step, let the Japanese craftsman complete your Spiral Ring Notebook.

This last step requires many years of the experience and skills.

   

               

          And ta-daaaa!! Here it is all in one piece, beautiful and strong :-)
