Forgot I'd Got These

Another pleasant surprise today, I really must have a proper sort out over the holidays. I found a hardly used notebook in a fabulous design tucked away in a bag, and my note to self pad which I had been looking everywhere for.

I love the note to self pad for my to-do list and generally find it invaluable. It's just the right size too to have to hand so I can make a note of anything that needs to be added to my list. I'm definitely a 'write it down' kinda girl.

The note book has a million possible uses, I need to just settle on one as after post it notes, notebooks are probably my number one purchase. I usually opt to use them for creative writing however they're also good for journalling as well as planning (I've lost count of the number of books I've got with half planned holidays in the back of them, which is pretty odd as we've been on those holidays so I have no idea where the other half of the plan is in which case.)

Yippee

Yet more pink and girly fabulousness has found its way into my not so little stack of supplies today. They're really pretty and surprisingly dainty looking whilst also appearing to be made of quite strong material, although the real test will be actually using them.

Another little delight from a sleepless night. I'd forgotten I'd ordered these but then as they came from Japan that's not surprising. In fact they shipped really quickly so if you're into that sort of thing I'd definitely recommend giving Kawaii Japan a look on Amazon. 

These are hole reinforcers and will be perfect for Valentine's week. They're really lovely and I think as long as they're durable I'll definitely be ordering these again, that's for sure. I really can't wait to get decorating!

Epic Win!

Having a little sort out today and found these hiding in an old folder. Epic win!

Yes that's right. The stationary nut has stationary themed stickers AND they have faces. I can scarcely contain my excitement because they're that awesome. These shall most definitely adorn the pages of everything I can justify putting them on and some things I can't.

I love that they have faces and even better than that, the face is different depending on which colour the pencil is. Awesome!

I must say, starting this blog has certainly taught me some things about myself. For example I would normally profess to being freaked out by things with faces but there are at least three different sets of stickers I've shared with you over the past fortnight where I've squealed in delight over their creepy little faces. How funny. It's interesting what you find out about yourself when you put pen to paper.

More Surprises

There were more surprises for me today in my stash! I found two sets of stickers I'd totally forgotten I'd got! One I know was a Christmas present from about three years ago but I'm not too sure where the Mickey Mouse ones came from and I am not complaining.

I love all things Disney and these will be perfect with some polka dot washi tape. They'd fallen down the side of my chest of drawers and I have no idea how long they've been there but it means they haven't faded or creased as luckily they were still in their plastic packaging. One very happy starlet here today folks, let me tell you!

The other lovely find which I'd also forgotten I'd got were some lovely letter writing kits. One is from Paperchase, the other Cath Kidston. They've both got lovely patterns on them and are just adorable. I'm a big fan of handwritten letters as Mr S will tell you and I think it's sad when nothing exciting comes in the post anymore. I make a lot of my own cards at the moment as I get ready for Christmas and I love adding personal touches to them. Letters are the same, these will eventually wind up with Mr S and that makes me feel amazing!

I'm loving my mystery finds at the moment, I'm sure the pre-festive tidy up will yield many more yet, after all we're not even in December yet!

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!
