Last week I met up with two lovely ladies – Laura from Cardboard Cities and Viktorija from And Smile Studio – for a cheeky Nandos. Ha! In our defence it was VERY cold, we’d been walking for ages and it was the first place we came across. Anyway, I’m not here to talk about that, I’m… Read more »
2 years?! How did that happen. I’ll kick things off by saying that this isn’t a “New Year, New Me” post. It’s just a coincidence that my blog-iversary (sorry) happens to be the beginning of January. The 2nd in fact but I was flying back from NYC that day so am only just getting around… Read more »
HOORAY! After almost 11 years together, Harry and I finally got married on 28th November. I try not to share too much personal stuff on here, but I thought you guys may appreciate seeing a little bit of how I incorporated stationery into my big day – of course I had to! We had an… Read more »
This is an oldie, but a goodie. It’s from 2008 but I hadn’t come across it until now. This is a print advert from Bic (published in The Netherlands), in which they advertise two of the products they’re most know for in a really clever way! On page 3, a picture of a man which… Read more »
London Design Festival slightly passed me by this year. It’s a real shame as there’s usually so many incredible and inspiring things to see, and so much stationery! Unfortunately it coincided with a really busy work week for me so I didn’t get to go along to any of the shows. I did however manage… Read more »
Since I moved to Peckham I’ve been slightly overwhelmed by the plethora of pound shops in the area (for those of you not in the UK, these are shops where you can buy anything in there for a pound, funnily enough). I keep getting told off for popping in to get some toothpaste and coming… Read more »
Today I am declaring that I am proud member of The Society of Crossed Pencils I’ve been a fan of And Smile Studio for aaaages (especially all the PERFECT Wes Anderson illustrations!), and actually sat opposite the lady behind it, Viktorija, at a recent flower arranging workshop I went to, but didn’t realise until I… Read more »
Dear reader, I’ve been cheating on you… I’ve been moonlighting over at the Moustache Stationery blog, providing a bit of content for those guys. In case you’re interested, here’s a round up of what I’ve been writing about over the last month. Why Do We Love Stationery So Much? I pondered why we’re all so obsessed… Read more »
I was thinking recently about how I pretty much have 3 stock doodles that I do. I thought I’d share them with you… And I just want to make it very clear that I am NOT an artist. In fact, it often frustrates me that I can’t draw. Anyway, here they are: The first one… Read more »
Have you guys seen this? In Brazil someone wrongly parked in a disabled spot and some people decided to teach him a lesson by covering his car in post-it notes… So funny. It doesn’t look like anyone captured them actually doing it, but someone caught on camera the man’s reaction when he got back to… Read more »
