Project 365: Week 25

Day 163: Going through all the stuff that the last occupant left in the cellar and discovered, along with hundreds of books, such treasures as a camera, cowboy boot (singular), photo of woman with tarantula and best of all... someone's personal (and oh so apathetic) diary! Bingo!

 Day 164: I've put this on the wall in the studio where I can see it as I sit and attempt to be creative. Thanks Frankie!

 



Day 165: I've been on my travels recently to lovely old York to see some friends. More on that later!

Day 166: More house plants!! These ones are gifts from my mum and are flowering!

 

Day 167: Me, Ben and my sister Sophie went to The Rude Shipyard for tea the other day. Here's me not actually playing a banjo because it was so very out of tune. Not that I would have anyway!

 

Day 168: Ahhh so cute! Not ashamed to say I was excited to use some of these stickers this week! >.<

 

Day 169: A week off work so you know what that means! I'm sure we've seen this design before...

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



 set of 9 watercolor stripes personalized notebook

 tiny kraft starburst stickers - anchors

 

 

 

 

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.

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.

Circular stickers are from Letter C Design

Assorted brown notecards are from Paperchase

Set of 3 animal notebooks are by Solitare
