craftgrrl | Looking for old posts for distressed journals

I had the links saved on my old computer before it died and now that I need it I dont have it. I looked through the tags but cant find squat.

There was a few people here that made leather bound journals that looked antique/vintage. I wanted to make one and remember those were ones I LOVED and wanted to look at them again for inspiration.
If anyone has the links, or it was you, or just know somewhere to give good binding techniques when working with leather (I swear my eyes are going blurry from all the googling), your help will be much appreciated.
