Kikki-K Love

I have fallen in love with Kikki-K and their wonderful world of stationary. Included in their many ranges of goodies are travel wallets, bag tags, journals, stamp sets, stickers and travel organisers!

Problem is, like all nice stationary I acquire, it's all so nice I'm always too scared to use it, and so it just sits on my shelf where I can gaze at it longingly... the thought of tarnishing the smooth, crisp smelling pages with my scrawly hand writing makes my stomach turn!

Lettering from Home

I received the sweetest card from my Gran and Grandad today with best wishes for Christmas and our engagement. And as lovely as the card itself was, I am mesmerised by the envelope it was posted in!

I think I want to hold on to this for dear life - look at the beautiful, formal handwriting that my Grandad has. It seems that no one writes like this these days. To me, this lettering speaks of history, memories, of traditions, and of formalities that we no longer take any notice of.

One day, the flicks and curls and swirls of these letters will be gone, lost to the typed and printed address label.

No thank you, there's nothing like a handwritten letter, don't you think?

A Friday Find

Today I re-discovered New Zealand designer Sarah Maxey! A super talented all rounder, Sarah designs for all kinds of print media and publishing, including some super cute stationary items like these quirky greeting cards that I've had knocking around in my files of goodies for ages!
