Well its Saturday morning, and MsMollyLouise over at Molly and the Princess, has asked us to link up to #showmeyourstationery
I don’t have a huge collection of stationery, but what I do have is much-loved and treasured pieces, and also lots of very old favourites.
First up is my most treasured note-book, from Hope House Press. I actually won this in a competition, last Christmas.
They make the most gorgeous leather-bound books. Using vintage bookbinding presses to produce a range of traditional and contemporary notebooks, journals and diaries.
I use mine for very personal thoughts, on the first page I have written…..’My thoughts, aims, aspirations and goals’
One day I would like to write a children’s book, so I also jot any of my ideas in here too. If I ever manage to do this, I shall write it in one of Hope House Press’ beautiful books, that look, feel and even smell good.
My next contribution is one of my sets of note cards. I always make sure I have some of these, and here are my current favourites.
I love the vintage shabby style, perfect for when I need to send a note to someone. They were from TKMax, which has really great stationery. I think I paid £4.99 for 20 cards.
My third entry, is not necessarily stationery I think, but it’s what I always use when I sit down and write.
My trusty pen, yes it’s nearly run out 🙁 I’ve lost the top, but these are my favourite kind of pens to write with. My pencil has seen better days too, I think I’ve bitten it! An eraser, I ONLY use this brand, because they are one of the few that actually work. And a pencil sharpener, borrowed from Miss N, and finally what girl doesn’t need a gold pen!
And last but not least, some beautiful tape….I use this for parcels, and presents! So much more exciting than sellotape, it’s from one of my favourite on-line stores Belle and Boo.
Gorgeous isn’t it? Well that’s my stationery….now show us your stationary!
See more over at my very good freind Molly and the Princess’ blog.

I love all of this! I love Belle & Boo but have never bought anything of theirs. How come I always end up spending my money when I come on here?! 😛

I love your Hope House Press notebook – and I look forward to reading your book when it is published (seriously, I know you will do it!). I really like TK Maxx for stationery too, and have had lots of good finds in there. So glad you included your ‘tools of the trade’ – all counts as stationery to me – always have to have the right pen, and yes, I agree that a gold pen is an absolute essential! Had not been on the Belle and Boo site before so that’s a new one for me – I love your tape and I’m liking the red spotty wrapping paper on the site too! Thanks for linking up A – but hope you’ve saved something for future weeks 😉 Please do dip in and out when you can! xx
