National Stationery Week - notebook love

It's wonderful having an excuse to post about my unhealthy obsession with notebooks. ​

National Stationery Week runs from the 22 -28th April and is encouraging everyone to pick up their pens! ​

I love sending cards, my family always send postcards, even if it's just from a weekend away in England and I keep them all in a little tin in the living room.​

I constantly make lists and get great satisfaction from recycling a completed, crossed out, to do list.​

I can never resist a sweet looking note book. I carry around an enormous Filofax, bursting with receipts, torn out pages of magazines and there is always a notebook stuffed inside. I have one for blog ideas, several I use as background images within a blog post and some that are just for home ideas and one for the boys.

I have even started a mini one for my new niece, Yasmin lu! Things I don't want to forget about this precious time and things I would love to spoil her with one day.

My favourite notebooks are tricky to get hold of, unless you have a brother with a US shipping address! I adore the designs by Carolyn ​Gavin, the talented designer at ecojot. One day a custom order will be mine.

When we visited New York in February we stumbled upon the Tenement Museum and it's incredible shop. ​Notebooks galore, including this one made from photographs of walls!

Do you have a closet stationery obsession?! I remember that last week in August, being so exciting as a child, as that meant we got to go and choose a new pencil case for the new school term! In fact, ​I was more of a tin girl!

Celebrate National Stationery week by sending someone you love a letter. I shall be writing to Yasmin lu. ​
