Stationery - Rekindling an old love

When I was about ten I would save my pocket money to go and buy these gorgeous coloured pieces of writing paper and envolopes that you could buy singularly from a local bath goods shop.  The papers were gently scented by the aroma in the little shop and all the girls in my class would collect different colours and write little notes to each other on these lovely sheets of paper.  Recently my passion for stationery has been rekindled by looking at stores on Folksy & Etsy that sell beautifully designed stationery, including Gooseberrymoon, one of my advertsing giveaway winners. But more about Gooseberrymoon another day! Today I am going to share some of my new wishlist buys.  So grab your shopping bag and come along.....

Perfect for teachers presents.

As you can see there are some great designers out there, maybe one day I'll have enough time to learn to use Photoshop and create my own. In the meantime I'm stocking up on printed papers!!

Handmade Wedding - Stationery

It's that time of year when the church bells ring out on a Saturday afternoon or you see signs attatched to posts at the roadside announcing directions to a couples wedding.  Whilst it is several years since I tied the knot and we didn't have a big pomp & circumstance wedding but it was special to us.  Yet there is something about a wedding that conjures up images of beautiful venues stylishly decorated.  With the current economic situation more people are turning to creative friends and family members to style their own weddings, shifting away from the mass produced asethetic of weddings in the past couple of decades.  But even if you do not have a talented team behind you there are many creative people out there who can help and make your wedding a very personal style choice.

Today I will start with stationery, from Save The Date cards to the Invitations right through to Thank you cards.  Then over the next few days I will feature decorations and favours, dresses and jewellery, cakes and flowers, all from UK designers / makers.
