As it’s now attached to a shop it feels a bit weird to potentially recommend other stationery shops, and equally I feel a bit icky… Read more »

I feel like I should actually call this “my experience as a woman of trying to get a planner pad manufactured in the very male printing industry, and staying sane”. 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.

It was organised by James Ward, who runs Boring Conference, and wrote the brilliant book Adventures in Stationery: A Journey Through Your Pencil case, which I reviewed here.

Hiya! Long time no blog! I’m just checking in to share a little project that I’ve been working on over on Instagram, just in case you don’t follow me over there. 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 »

HELLO! It’s been forever, and I just decided – totally on a whim – to write down some thoughts to share with you. Except I’ve done it the old fashioned way – on paper! Apologies that it’s not the best looking blog post, the most accessible, or SEO friendly, but I’m just going to post… 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 »
