Tis the Season..

With the run up to the festive season, feeling jolly may be last on your list! I suggest taking a break from the commercial overload and visit my favourite website http://www.grahamandgreen.co.uk/ Although famous for it's stylish home finds, it boasts some wonderful global finds on the stationery front as well.
This rich design is just one of my pickings from this site. The collection comprises a notebook, and as featured here, a mini photo album and APS photo album. Prices reflect the fact that this company is not into mass manufacturing but into limited editions or items exclusive to graham and green. So if you are looking for a gift for someone special, you will not be disappointed. *Remember Photo albums are on the up as it has become so easy to print off your digital memories. So instead of storing them on disk, treat yourself to an album that you would be proud to place on your coffee table.

Ok, so if even you are not a bride to be, www.paperbride.com promises to delight the stationery lover in you! With it’s candy floss colours to tantalise your pallet, the designs and layout are sure to inspire. The designs have a ‘Far from Heaven’ movie feel, coupled with a personal ‘thank-you’ to those involved with your special day. As a new and fairly young mum, I feel that the essence of gratitude and the romance of marriage is sometimes lost in modern life. Erica Goldstein the founder of paperbride captures the romance of romance in her designs, and gives instant glamour to transform the ordinary into an extra-ordinary way of expressing your thanks!

My must-have item is the deluxe keepsake box containing 50 cards and envelopes and includes a thank-you to all guests. I also loved the ‘save the date’ postcards, they beat an email version hands down.

The website also offers stockist and wholesale information and, for true stationery addicts, a mailing list.

About Me!

Born in the UK, I grew up in London. I met my Husband Richard in 1996, we married in 1998. This year I gave birth to our lovely baby girl. I decided to put my fashion career on hold and stay at home with our little girl. Then a friend suggested that I start writing, so here I am in pursuit of the latest trends in Stationery and hope to entertain you with news and reviews!
