The Creative Directory: Letter C Design

 
 
In a sentence:
The most delightfully charming designs created for those who love stationary aka all of us. Don't pretend you don't need stickers now.
 
 
 
Sample the goods:
 
kraft gift tags with white foil heart



24 arrow in white foil on natural wood pencils
 



2015 weekly planner sheets


 
 
 
 

Why?
It's no secret that I have a thing for stationary, an obsession you might say. I have more notebooks and stickers than I could ever hope to use and that's just how I like it. Several are from Cindy's collection too. In fact my blogging in 2014 was very organized and punctual thanks to my lovely monthly planner! I also have a kraft calendar and a personalized notebook.
 
There are so many things to swoon over from this shop and I really can't do it justice with just one blog post. There are several collections, all full of gorgeous bits and bobs that I really wish I could show you all at once but I can't so you must go have a good look for yourselves!
 
Oh and just as a cherry on the cake there's also a blog too. A lovely read, showing new designs and behind the scenes snapshots of what's going on! I'm sure you'll enjoy.

Snapshots from July 2014


Cute stickers, you'll be the death of me! I found the loveliest little kitchen stickers (along with a whole stack of others) plus a stamp. Now everyone will find my birthday cards to them even more insufferable, hah!


Stink bug! Found this little guy in the middle of the pavement and quickly proceeded to drop everything in pursuit of him. It was even harder to snap him in focus - he was fast!


Opened my Etsy shop Schooner House and finally put my cards up for sale. If I'd written a list of goals for this year, this would be a major one I could cross off now. I'm so happy to finally be sharing my work. Got some new designs going in soon too!



Now that's some gooood eatin'.

 

Also, I made a lemon meringue pie that was actually successful! I can't believe how good it was. It was the practise run for the one I'm gonna make for our anniversary gathering later this month.





My well known love of cacti seems to know no limits. The collection has grown with the latest one (a gift from mum) being the cutest, tiniest little thing. It's practically polka dotted!
Also new is the antique 'kakteen' print that got lost in the mail for 4 months.
And finally, my sister went on holiday to Tenerife which is apparently covered in them. "You'd have been in cactus heaven Charlotte." She brought us back some marmalade made from their fruit, prickly pears!

The heatwave we've had this month has been amazing, not like English weather at all. With all that's gone off in the city - The Tour De France, Tramlines festival etc - I've been outside a hell of a lot and my favourite post from this month is from one of those outdoors days:

A Mini Ramble


Hope you've all had a brill July too. If you want to see more you can follow me on instagram

Welcome to...



Good afternoon!
You may or may not have noticed that I've not been around lately. Well there's good reason for it! I've been working on my range of cards and by working on I mean of course a continuous cycle of drawing, scanning, illustrating and printing... and repeating! Haha I'm not complaining though, it's been such good fun and so exciting to see the design I had in my mind finally become a tangible end product.
The design is inspired by art nouveau (love love love!) and an old friend of mine called Jasper who lived in a jar in my bedroom - but that's a whole other story..

















Then I thought to myself someone out there might like these, so I'll make them and sell them, and if nobody likes them then I'll just make them for my own pleasure! So welcome to my Etsy shop, Schooner House

Have a look around, not that there's much in at the moment but I hope you see something you like!
