We’re past the longest day so no excuses! Get out there and do that summer stuff. Get round to all the activities you said, back in January, that you’d do when summer arrived and the weather was warm. Carla has been making more of an effort to sit in her...

Say ‘hello’ to photographer Grace Hill. She’s the latest person to tell us about her life in stationery. We like Grace; she likes fountain pens. Also, she’s quite enthusiastic about sticky notes (these need their own mini subscription!). First...

How’s summer been for you so far? The longest day isn’t that far away so at Ink Drops Towers we’re making the most of bright mornings and light evenings. The Progressive Greetings Live! is a trade show we love to attend. As ever it was brilliant and...

What would your dream desk look like? How do you imagine your working space? I certainly have dreams of a beautifully organised desk. Depending on my mood the desk and surrounding surfaces might be almost empty except for a beautiful carefully chosen pen and notebook....

We hear rumours that May is going to be delightfully warm. So we’ll resist the urge to rip up our job lists and head off to the park. We’re pretty certain you still want to get the stationery you ordered delivered! However, there’s still potential...

How has your April been so far? Has your bujo been decorated with bunnies, your desk covered in daffodils and your desk drawer filled with a secret chocolate egg stash? Or have been enjoying the lighter morning and evenings while sipping a cup of green Earl Grey tea?...

It’s a bit like looking at someone’s bookshelf. On the whole, you can tell a lot about a person by their stationery related tastes and habits. In this post, Frankie Kerr-Dineen, a Scottish based designer at The Native State, tells us about her life in...

Who doesn’t love stickers? Perfect for livening up folders and notebooks. Splendid at envelope decoration. Lovely added to letters. Delightful in a bujo. In fact, I’ve even livened up my plain grey water bottle with some stickers. It’s like sewing...
