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.

Stationary Obsession

Okay, okay so I have a thing about stationary. My Pinterest page must have given me away! I know a lot of you may think this post pointless, but I just can't deny the joy that a little card with a cactus on brings me.
Stickers, notecards, journals, tape - put a cute design on it and I'll surely love it. I've never been so organised since I started this blog, I've surprised myself! It's even extended to expenses and budget planners (don't I sound fun?!)
Anyhoo I thought why not share with you guys the wonders within my ever growing stationary box...

I sent these notecards out to friends as 'our new address' cards.

And not forgetting the lovely cactus writing set mentioned here.

A Fine Hand

Of all the job titles I'd like to be able to apply to myself, Freelance Calligrapher sounds like a pretty fun one. I can't however claim to be one, my mother Sharon Ellor, on the other hand is exactly that! This skill, copperplate script calligraphy, is one she's perfected over the past five decades. I personally consider her to be perfect at it and I've been improving my own attempts in the last five years but compared to my mum....well I'm sure you'll be able to tell which photos are of my writing! She just never makes a mistake, even in the slightest. I hope with more practice I'll be as precise as her one day.

My poetry journal with quotes written by Sharon

 
 We usually refer to it as Victorian Copperplate Script but I think the terms are quite specific and are determined by things like the type and thickness of the nib. So really she has just an old fashioned, English handwriting.

'Mother' by E. A Allen written by Sharon

I have a journal that she gave me for Christmas a few years ago that I write all my favourite poems in. Not half full yet but I plan to hand it down to my children when I'm old! The first few in it are quite badly written but I can see as I go through that I'm improving with time!

some of my writing

Monograms are another thing she does really well. She's done a lot for different people and this one is the combination of B and C for Ben and Charlotte. I'd like to use it somehow in our wedding, maybe as a border for the invites?

 Lord knows I love curls and swirls!
