It’s been a pretty good summer in the UK this year. The weather has been warm on the whole. There’s been lots of sunshine and blue skies. It seems like summer has been here for months. However, all good things must come to an end. It’s August....

Just what do you get in a subscription selection? And more to the point do you want to know in advance? So many of our customers tell us that they never look at the sneak peek feature on our website. They like the surprise of opening the envelope and discovering the...

The Penpal! I had loads of them as a teen in the late 80s and early 90s. Letter writing was the way to stay in touch with friends that it was just impossible to meet up with. So there were new friends from a regional Guide camp (who lived just the wrong side of the...

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...

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...

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...

When we read through Madelyn’s ‘My life in stationery’ we were pretty impressed that she takes weekends off from list-making. Then we discovered that she’s a healthy lifestyle mentor and it all started to make sense! It made our glitter paper...

When Carla and I started Ink Drops we had grand plans based on what we wanted to do rather than what our lovely customer might want from us. So we excited talked in our first months about offering a giant box of stationery goodies every quarter called the...

Lists! Lists of lists of lists of lists… they’re great, but sometimes they can get a bit much for even the most enthusiastic of list-makers raises hand sheepishly. My beloved bullet journal is still going strong and has been something of a lifesaver in recent...

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....
