Paperchase Scrummies

Paperchase have got some delicious morsels available for stationery delectation at the moment, I almost wish I could just move in there! Today's haul included two spectacular fluffy pens which have brussell sprouts on top! One is wearing a santa hat and one is wearing reindeer antlers.

 I couldn't resist this woodland creature themed writing set for when I put pen to paper to write to Mr S. The paper is a little bit thin but when it's this pretty I really don't mind.

These too were just too cute to resist. Mr S and I have a bit of a running joke about unicorns after he won one for me at the arcades in the summer. He's based on the one for minions 2 and is lovingly called 'Steve'.

I continued with the rabbit theme that is beginning to build up in my collection with this little hole punch. He punches a single hole, although is clearly in need of a name as I can't just call it hole punch now can I?

Smiths Goodies

W H Smiths have got 3 for 2 on their stationery essentials at the moment, and although I question how precisely some items can be classed as essential and some are not, I am not going to complain.

So of course, I could not resist the penguin correction tape. He's lovely and especially after the John Lewis advert I do love all things penguin! I adore these cupcake post-its too, they're quite big and fantastically bright! As they were 3 for 2 I decided to go for the pink bunny correction tape too as it's rather cute and will look awesome in my pencil case!

Flags!

Today brought more flags, although these are great for studying as well as my planner. I couldn't resist the cat in a box notes either so ordered another set and this time received the little ginger cat. Isn't he adorable?

The finger flags are designed to look like fingers, hence the name and I love their silly faces. This makes them perfect for studying as I know turning to a page and seeing these would not and could not fail to make me smile.

 I quite like the one on the left hand corner, he just looks like he's up to no good doesn't he? That's mischief in a post-it right there!

White Strawberry

White Strawberry, might just be my new favourite shop, I've even kept their business card for my filofax as I was so impressed with both their products and the service I received from them. Not only did my order arrive really quickly, but they included some complementary stickers. I'm so eager to use these little beauties, they've definitely been my favourite so far.

This is the haul I got from their lovely store. It was a real challenge to limit my choices down even to these. I was overwhelmed with the variety available, I felt a bit like a child in a sweet shop.

 Llama memo pads were a must as they've got plenty of room for notes whilst still being super sweet. Plus I liked the fact that the white one looks like a sheep!

Similarly, I loved the bunnies. Each one has a cute little patterned jump suit on. My favourite is the rainbow bunny I think. They're so cute its going to be a challenge to use these as at the moment I really just want to hoard them and keep them forever.

As you know I've been loving a bit of a cat option lately and I just adored this little kawaii cat with his sticky paws to put all over my planner and any other place I can find.

I picked a couple of diary stickers with holes too. I think they might be too small to go over punched holes but will be great for highlighting important dates such as birthdays and anniversaries. I opted for three designs: donuts, animals and cats.

 These are the stickers I got free with my order, they're all funny little men and quite sweet.

 These are cute little memo stickers to write on. I think I'll be using these for important dates and themed pages. Again though, these are so sweet I don't know how I'll bear to use them as I want to just keep them forever, but where would be the fun in that?

Insomnia Strikes Again!

Well, I've come to the conclusion that two things need to happen and fast: firstly, I need to start sleeping at night instead of perusing Amazon and secondly, I need Christmas to hurry up and get here so I can get decorating with my planner instead of planning what to put into it.

This is my latest arrival from my late night shopping. Nothing expensive or outlandish, just a couple of cute post-it notes to pretty up the place.

These little Russian Dolls were too cute and although they're only tiny as they're meant as flags I could not resist them. Added bonus, they were only about 80p which made them even more alluring.

I also picked some sweet little patterned tabs that would work both as flags or even almost as washi to help pretty up my pages. There's a good variety of colours and patterns to work with most themes.

And lastly, look at that little face. There was no way I was going without one of these in my life. Adorably, the brown card he's sitting on folds into a box so he becomes a cat in a box. As a self confessed crazy cat lady there was no way I could go without one of these. They send the design at random so I may well even treat myself to his friends as well.

A Few Goodies

So a quick trip out resulted in a few new goodies today. As you know I love a good flag and couldn't resist these. They've got handy tags 'to do', 'study' and 'get this'. The pegs were fabulously quirky and as they were all in a three for two offer I got some people shaped paperclips whilst I was at it. They seemed just the right amount of quirky to go with everything else I'd picked up,

In addition to clips and pegs I couldn't resist this little sweetie. She's a iwako rubber and we've named her Hetty. For such a small eraser she's pretty pricey but to be perfectly honest, she's so cute I probably won't use her anyway.

So it would seem my little stash of Filofax supplies is really building up, it's probably a good thing there are only 3 and a half weeks left until Christmas now! I'm starting to get really excited!

Post It Notes Galore

Well I promised you more sneak peeks into my stash and it would be rude of me not to oblige. I thought I'd divulge a little more of my post it note obsession. I'm totally loving knock-knock post its which never fail to make me smile and sometimes my friends too.

I love a good post it note as a reminder when there's something important to do and the knock-knock ones make much more fun reminders. I always have a stash of A5 post-its too as I can never resist a good list and these are perfect for it. 

There's also a good stash of flags in various colours and sizes as you can never have too many flags. The stars too were just too cheerful to resist, I love their sunshiney shades particularly in these cold and rainy wintery months when summer seems little more than a distant memory. 

Shhh!!

Soooooooo,,, I may have been a very naughty little starlet today! I nipped into town and spotted at a few bits and pieces that will be great little additions to my stationery collection. By a few, I of course mean I bought probably more than I needed but there were so many cute bits how could I resist?

I got some fantastic bits from the good old pound shop. I've got a real thing for paper clips at the moment so I jumped at the opportunity to stock up on some cute shaped ones. I particularly like the fish shaped ones.

I couldn't resist adding to the washi tape stash and picked up some fab ones from The Works and Wilkinsons. Now I've just got to find somewhere to keep them all, At the moment they're still in their packets in a big bag currently known as the filofax supplies.

I also picked up these sweet little pads from the pound store. I couldn't choose between the two so I got both as they will go quite nicely with most themes, plus I just love a good list so special paper for it is always a bonus!

I also stocked up on stickers as I've been threatening to stick them everywhere in my impatience. Although I got some cute tatty teddy ones in the pound shop I also picked up these as they're basic and versatile. In addition to that they were really easy on the pocket at 50p a packet. What's not to love about that?

One thing is for sure, Christmas needs to hurry up and get here so I can get my organiser and get decorating, otherwise Mr S is going to need to get me a work room for Christmas rather than just a filofax! Not that I would complain about having a whole work room instead of just a work space of course.

W H Smith

Now, here's somewhere else I don't shop often and I have no idea why. I picked up some real cute bits and pieces in here but I am definitely going to need a bigger desk at this rate!

Now as a self confessed post-it addict I found these sandwich notes just jumped into my basket. I couldn't stop them, they just climbed right on in. I'm looking forward to passing someone a note sandwich!

So, speaking of things jumping into baskets here are my new desk buddies. A pink bunny which is in fact a stapler not to mention super cute! There's a dinosaur to hold memos and pens, naturally my sandwich notes may have to end up in there to complete the cycle of awesome. Finally a ladybird pencil sharpener. It was just to awesome to leave behind, Yes I promise I am a grown up!

Tesco

Now Tesco would not be one of my usual haunts for stationary items, I often find the choice quite generic but I was not disappointed today. I got this lovely little haul which I'm itching to use.

As I've mentioned several times already I love a good flag post-it so couldn't resist the arrows and they were really easy on the pocket too costing only about 80p. Double win! I thought the speech bubbles would be nice with the stickers I got from Paperchase the other day so of course they went into the bag too.

I couldn't resist these either. The ponies have slightly creepy faces but they're scratch and sniff not to mention loads of fun. I thought the bugs were the best though, some of them have moving eyes which caused much entertainment thus making them a necessity.

Now paperclips are something I seldom use, I just don't find them very appealing but having spent ample time on Pinterest and Etsy over the last few days that concept has quickly begun to change and I find myself drooling over more and more paperclips in funky shapes. Cat ones are next on my wish list! (of course) but I loved these too. Now I've just got to remember they're not too lovely to use!

Some Stash Treats

Oooo... found some great treats stashed away in my room today and I do love a treat! I promised you I love post-its and I unearthed a great selection today. As well as my trusty flags, I found pencil shaped notes... this makes me so happy! Plus schedule post-its and some lined notes. The arrows are paperclips... aren't they fab?

Some other delights included a whole bunch of index cards I didn't know I had. Good thing too, these are great for to do lists and little reminders and will be nice and easy to punch to put in my file. The fact that they're coloured? Total bonus!

Now another thing I can never have too much of is glue sticks. I get through them like I eat them (although I assure you I don't) so imagine my delight when I discovered I'd got a multi pack of coloured glues... today really was a good day.

I'm loving the colourful finds in today's rummaging, you can't go wrong with colour. I'm such a happy girl today!

Wilkinsons

Whilst out and about today I popped into my local Wilkos and picked out a few treats for myself, as you do. Nothing too special really, some divider post-its and some stickers. Whilst cats is one of my loves, so too is anything with a Parisian theme as Paris is one of my favourite places in the world, especially good old Disneyland.

I've got an A5 Filofax ear marked, so the dividers might be a touch small but they seemed like they'd be useful plus they were pretty... can't go wrong with that!

I'm really looking forward to using the stickers too, they're really sweet and should make a nice addition to the pages of my organiser. I am so excited for my organiser, I don't know how I'm going to make it the seven weeks until Christmas without cracking. Poor Mr S is going to have a lot of buzzing energy over the next few weeks.
