AD | Contains gifted items I don’t know about you but when it comes to the New Year I like to be as organised as possible. We tend to have a lot going on all of the time and I hate feeling stressed or panicked about getting everything done. So, each New Year I put a plan in place to get myself organised and ready for anything we have coming up. Getting into this frame of mind takes a bit of practice though and I never used to be like this. Now though, with a
Even before I was a blogger I loved getting new stationery and one of my favourite things to get was either a new planner or notebook. Now that I used at least 3 different kinds at any one time I’m always on the look out for something new and different. Last year when I attended the London Stationery Show I discovered the Trigg Life Mapper Planner. The problem with a lot of planners is that they don’t really account for everything you need it to do, unless you bullet journal and make something yourself. Personally,
One thing I remember so clearly about being in primary school was learning to write. I remember those worksheets where you had to trace the letters with your pencil and then copy yourself on the line underneath. I remember doing those over and over again for hours but I like to think that I have quite nice handwriting. I’m the one who writes the birthday and Christmas cards because I’m always telling my husband he has horrible man writing. I don’t actually think that’s a thing but my handwriting is definitely neater. Erin will be
I’m the kind of person that still loves to write things down with a pen and paper. I have so many notebooks I could probably start a small shop and my pens are colour coded in a lovely organiser. I have always been a fan of stationery and it’s not something I see going away any time soon. Back in May when I attended Blog On for the first time, we were given pens in the opening session. The minute I started writing with that pen I was made a happy woman. You see, I’m
If you are a regular reader you will already know how much I love stationery. I can’t get enough of it and I will admit that I’m a bit of an addict. Recently we had the opportunity to pick out some items from Rooi.com and I immediately fell in love with their stationery options. Honestly, I could have spent hundreds of pounds. Caroline Gardner A little while ago I got some lovely notebooks and pens from Caroline Gardner and I fell in love with the brand. I was a little ashamed of myself for not
I have been blogging for quite some time now, about 7 years, and in that time I have come to find certain things that I just cannot blog without. I thought I’d put together a little list of my top 5 blog must haves! 1. Tailwind Tailwind is a brand new thing to me and I was really unsure whether it was worth paying for or not. It is. Tailwind is amazing if you want to make the most out of Pinterest. This isn’t really something I’ve bothered too much with until now but I’ve
My sister Natalie is back today with the third and final part of her review of the London Stationery Tour! Waterstones 199 Piccadilly Most Waterstones have stationery sections, but the stationery section in this one is big enough to be its own shop. I love bookshops so i tend to pop into Waterstones whenever I see one (there’s quite a nice one near The National Gallery for example) and I always have a browse of the stationery section, since they all tend to sell a nice range of different products. This Waterstones just seems
My sister Natalie is back today with Part 2 of her review of the London Stationery Tour! Liberty of london Great Marlborough Street Liberty is worth visiting in and of itself, let alone for the stationery department. The store itself is beautiful and they sell a wide variety of high market products, from the usual perfume, make-up and clothing, to antique jewellery and home wares from around the world. It’s expensive but not always unaffordable. The home ware department is really quirky and interesting and although a lot of it is well beyond what i
