My life in stationery – Grace Hill
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 things first, what's...
Sticky…
Who doesn't love post-it notes and stickers? And lately, to add to the joy of sticking things, there's also washi tape… glorious, addictive, washi tape. Aside from their general appeal, summer can be a nightmare for crafting & bullet journal fans. Your Pritt stick...
Boxing in June
Not that kind of boxing, stationery boxing! We've been packing and posting with the help of Kettle this month. Unquestionably, we should do a feature on the Ink Drops cats. Anyway, here's our boxing video for June! As a matter of fact, I'm particularly fond of the...
Crafternoons, pencil shavings and stationery as a weapon? – An envelope of snippets for June
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 we found some...
My life in stationery – Madelyn of The Wright Fit

My dream desk

Grocery lists, old stamps and worry clouds – An envelope of snippets for May
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 for embracing the...
London love
As we head off to the capital for this year's stationery trade shows (squeak!), we thought it was about time we put together some more London bundles. Though the city can be busy and overwhelming, London has its own unique magic . And it does weave its spell over you....
Tips for after a bank holiday weekend…
... sigh. The return to work always feels rough, doesn't it? And Easter is a particularly sneaky bank holiday where you get two whole extra days off, and somehow that makes it even harder to go back. However, I have come up with some ways to beat this sneakiness and...
An Envelope of Snippets for April
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?...
