Yes, I'm a self-confessed stationery addict. And kikki.K is just one part of this rather huge obsession. Don't tell me you don't know kikki.K. If you don't…I don't know if we can be friends any more (just kidding, just promise me to check out their site). My sister, best friend, and I have a deep and mutual love of all things kikki.K. Even though we live far away, I always feel close to them when I go into the stores… Read more »

Firstly, I want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my dad for today. He's always been pretty good to me, so I figure he deserves an online shout out. My dad and I are so similar it's actually a little bit scary. I mentioned the other day that my bestie, boyfriend, sister, and mum are quite similar personalities, and Dad and I are the same – opposite to them, but the same as each other. Instead of doing any old favourite… Read more »

Is it just me or has this been the longest week ever? I started a new job this week. It is only for about four weeks but this week has felt like two. Even the girl I work with said, have you really only been here this week (I don't think that was meant as an insult haha)!?

I had so many note books and post-it notes and note cards and paper stashed around the place that I didn't… Read more »

I don't even remember how or when I discovered Kaitlyn Webb Patience and her blog, isavirtue, but it was inevitable because she creates one of the things I love most in the world – beautiful stationery! Delectable writing papers aside, I also love Kaitlyn's philosophies on life, art, love, and mail – all the things that make up her wonderful blog. She has this feature called "Thoughts On" and I sometimes find it a little freaky how much her externally… Read more »

Genetics plays a big part of the things that we love and are attracted to in our lives. I come from a family of readers and writers and musicians and photographers – I'm so lucky!  The journal thing comes from my dad, for sure. I love writing and pens and stationery and books and notepads and journals just like him – I just wish my writing was as neat and artsy as his. I thought I'd share a few I… Read more »
