I need some new suppliers to support my habit. Where, other than Paperchase and Artbox, can I get notebooks, sticky notes and other supplies that will make you sigh with contentment? I need a fix ...

oooh I love a stationery thread.
I am posting on this to move it out of chat so that it doesn't disappear....
I for one am a sucker for a novelty post-it? note - DS' teacher had speech bubbles today.

Ooh Olivia do you think we could have our own section like the Pedants' ? Maybe called 'the Stationery Cupboard' or something?

Guitargirl · 15/03/2012 19:40

I have just bought notebooks for a friend from work (who shares my obsession) from www.jenrowland.co.uk/

Also of cabbages and kings have some nice stuff

This shop does great cards, I could spend ages in there: Pall Mall Stationers

Has anybody seen mouse mats that are notepads? Saw one on a US site and thought it was a fab idea as I'm always loosing notes I make whilst online.

warmandwooly · 15/03/2012 20:28

Coloured laminating pouches.have I been living under a rock here? Never heard of em!

When ever I have started in a new office (freelancer so quite a few times), I sit on my hands for what I consider to be a decent amount of time about two hours tops before looting inspecting the stationery cupboard.

I judge the whole business and all its employers/employess on the strength of its contents and orderly storage.

SlightlyJaded · 15/03/2012 20:29

employees Bah

warmandwooly · 15/03/2012 20:33

Heffley- I did get a mousmat-ish shaped pad from The British Museume about ten years ago

travailtotravel · 15/03/2012 20:41

Yes yes I have one, I bought it in a stationers in Winchester, that one at the top of the hill up near that shop that sells you know, those things you like ... .

Will go for a little google and be back, maybe being more helpful.

If only Aussie kikki k had good shipping costs, so so lovely.

warmandwooly · 15/03/2012 21:00

Whereismywine_that all looks lovely

Agapanthii · 15/03/2012 21:31

Oh lordy this is the best thread EVER. I feel the need to share. Laminator? Pah! Guillotine? Pah! When I left my last job I stole adopted the binding machine. I can take my dc's pictures and make my own books, with beautiful wrapping paper covers.

I have my own stationery board on Pinterest full of stuff I want to buy but can't afford. Thanks to this thread I'm going to have to add about four million new pins.

Has anyone yet mentioned hellolucky?

stealthsquiggle · 15/03/2012 21:48

Oh my word that elephant mouse mat pad is heading for the top of my wishlist.

stealthsquiggle · 15/03/2012 21:55

I had another quiet gloat over my set of sharpies today. I did them a disservice - there are 3 shades of pink. I need to find or make a special pot for them to live in before I can open the pack, though.

SmellOfBurntWiggle · 15/03/2012 21:57

Stealthsquiggle inspired by your earlier 2 shadesof pink sharpies claim I realised what I really want for Mothers Day is a red.
Just that. Thank you!

BigBoobiedBertha · 15/03/2012 22:24

Sharpies? Pah! No these are the fabbest felt tips ever. DS2 and I can spend hours just colouring in those Usborne doodle book thingies and despite hours of colouring they are still going strong. I have the brush nibbed ones but they do other types which I must have. I covet the gift box at the bottom of the link big time.

I have instilled a love of stationery in DS2 - I was getting worried that I would be a lone figure in our house after DS1 steadfastly refused to get excited about pens pencils and notebooks (weird child, takes after his father) but DS2 is coming along nicely. I ended up buying him 4 different types of pens and pencils for Christmas so the poor boy has no choice (had a very satisfying thread on pencils for him in the run up to Christmas but still couldn't chose between them hence the multiple packs. Blush) but he doesn't seem to be complaining. I even bought him a Really Useful Box to put them in as a normal pencil case won't hack it.

I am off to dribble over admire some of these lovely links.

stealthsquiggle · 15/03/2012 22:57

Bertha those are lovely and I can see me using the prospect of me owning some which they might occasionally be allowed to use look at as an incentive for my DC.

Being permanent, the Sharpies are indisputably all mine, though.

notpodd · 16/03/2012 07:09

MY DCs are not allowed near my sharpies, although DD1 in particular covorts them. She gazes at them lovingly in their little drawer in my office.
