Re-opening The Stationer Ever since I opened The Stationer I’ve had grand plans to sell my own products and have a head full of ideas… Read more »

In classic me style, I promised another gift guide (after my luxury one last month) and then promptly failed to deliver! But here it is… This time focussing on bits and bobs – stocking fillers, secret santa gifts, that sort of thing. All under a tenner. STOCKING FILLERS That’s the last of my stocking filler… Read more »

Is this thing still on?! I barely remember how to blog… BUT this feels like a good reason to re-learn. You may have heard lots of businesses, especially small ones, talking about the importance of not leaving all your Christmas shopping to the last minute this year.

It’s called #ATScollection and is me sharing my (you guessed it) stationery collection. I don’t have much time for blogging at the moment, but… Read more »

It’s bit of a tongue twister! Wang’s Wonderful World is a really cute online stationery shop, run by Charlene, a fellow stationery lover. She recently introduced the Wonder Box to the shop and was kind enough to send me a sample box to check out and I thought you guys may be interested too. Full… Read more »

This time last year, after weeks and weeks of tinkering, I finally took off the password from The Stationer website and shouted from the rooftops about it! I absolutely can’t believe how fast the last year has gone, and to be honest I was probably hoping to have achieved a lot more by now. But… Read more »

Well, as with all house renovation projects, we are of course way behind schedule and over budget which means we’re still camping out at friend’s houses (for a good month or so yet) so I’m still being completely useless at blogging, and to be honest using much stationery at all, apart from what I use… Read more »
