A couple of weeks ago I was invited to Paperchase‘s spring event for bloggers, which gave us a chance to look around the new collections it he flagship store, learn a couple of new crafts and catch up with/meet some other bloggers. It looks like kraft and gold is having a bit of a moment… Read more »
I’m a little bit obsessed with origami paper. The neat little squares have always appealed to me, even as a kid. Not even the origami itself necessarily, just the paper. I thought this set I saw in Muji in New York was particularly pretty. If memory serves correct it was $5.95. I adore the traditional… Read more »
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 »

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 »
