I’ve actually been craving writing a blog post, which is a really a nice feeling. I think since opening The Stationer, I can’t quite work out where this blog sits.

The Dreamday Pattern Journals have been sat on my desk for a little while, as I haven’t had much time to blog lately. As some of you know, I’ve been working on a different project, which has meant lots of time sat at my desk, mulling things over (and freaking out a little bit). During… Read more »
I work in Covent Garden, where the Fabriano Boutique is and occasionally pop in on a lunch break to have a look around, although I’m yet to actually try anything from there.

I’ve noticed a bit of a Leuchtturm 1917 notebook trend going around different teams at work, and I’ve wanted one for ages but not needed a new work notebook. My May Bureau Direct order came at a perfect time to justify finally getting one…. Read more »
I remember one year my mum Father Christmas put a Paperblanks notebook in my stocking and I thought it was so luxury and grown up! It had a magnet fasting that I found really satisfying to snap shut. I was recently sent a Fortuna notebook from the Via Romana range and even though I’m now… Read more »
I guess all book are ‘of paper’, but I mean all different kinds of paper in this context… I saw on It’s Nice That that Made Thought and G.F Smith (whose stand I admired at the LSS this week) have teamed up to create a 400 sample page book, called The Collection, containing all the… Read more »
