Stationery lovers ... psst, over here to share your suppliers.

[travailtotravel]

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 ...

I found these today - Crumpler, more famous for bags, also make fabric notebook skins. They wont be for everyone but I love the one I just got, and the paper is divine - thick crisp white unlined paper.

Oh, can I join in too?

Been a complete stationery addict from as long as I can remember. Still searching for the elusive perfect pen, but getting through a few along the way

My latest fix was a box of Liberty notelets in Waitrose (slipped them in the trolley with the milk and bread) so not really a proper fix, just a treat to help me through the bore of grocery shopping.

I've used two of them now and already am thinking that they'll need replacing as I might just run out.

Thank goodness for a thread where everyone understands... and tomorrow I'm going to sort out my own stationery box. What a brilliant idea to have everything together.

I love stationary to, I have personalised pens, post it notes and notebooks and my own business cards, all came from vista print and were all free, just had to pay postage. They send me free offers every month and I just can't resist ....

Drooling at Japan stationary - my brother lives there and when I visit he fails to understand my need to mooch at envelopes for hours...

Also - I've always been made to feel its just me that's a stationary oddball. Hurray for this thread!

LeQueen- I have a gorjus diary that I bought in Boots as part of their christmas present deal. I am glad I did as there was none left in the sales by the time I went in.
Its vv nice.
You can follow. Gorjus on Twitter too!

@gorjuss is the Twitter name Le Queen and others. Smythson is also on Twitter!
I get lovely Smythson catalogue/brochures through the post.
Stationer porn at its best and all lovely and glossy so you can wipe up the droolso very very luxurious. (Maybe hide the debit/credit cards before hand though, yeah?)

Oh LeQueen-i have a feeling its not the Gorjuss I meant however do check out Gorjuss. Your dd's may like it -and so might you- just a thought

Lovely diaries from Sukie are any year and come with glassine pockets - yessssss!

My husband is a stationery addict - his idea of heaven is sitting on the toilet with the Staples catalogue

I remember being on holiday as a kid and they had machines that for a pound or so dispensed little bits and bobs. So happy when I got a little ink stamp with its own stamp

Own ink...

In answer up thread to what I put in my notebooks - well notes!

Every project / organisation I work for has a separate one as I attend a lot of meetings for which I take minutes; so I have one for Playgroup, one for each of my parish councils, one for other projects and so on.

I farkin love stationery. Gel pens, planners,diaries, storage solutions....all the perrrty colours and possibilities. It's ace having girls cos I can subtly feed my obsession through them: 'don't you need more paper honey?' dribble

Yes I know boys can like it too.

Morning paper strokers - Now I have this theory that the stationery fetish is genetic and goes with being a superior being left handed. Anyone on here left handed (apart from me, obviously) or have leftie tendancies?

Hope you don't mind if I plurk on your thread!!

Was just wondering if anyone knew where I might get some decorated box files or file boxes. Nice ones. Or am I just going to have to decorate some normal ones myself?

And yes, I am a bit of a notebook addict. I have loads around, but just end up writing rubbish in them and get hyped up because it's not neat enough. I would love a notebook I could fill with stuff I can look back in years and smile at. And for my kids or grandkids to get an insight....sounds a bit nobby, sorry

But yeah, decorated box files, anyone?

I have accepted that people will not buy my pretty notebooks anymore if I don't use them, so I am using one for work, and have another in my handbag.

Box files - Independent stationers? We have one in our shite little town that sells such things. Or not on the highstreet?

sorry that's buy ME, not by my. I am not selling my pretty notebooks, clearly

that Liberty book has made me need to go and lie down in a darkened room with a cool wet cloth over my face and try to breathe very slowly until someone comes with a cup of tea and my special medicine.

Bos files-paperchase?
Boxes-home bargains. I got myself some decorated ones v v cheap!

cremola!
Tokyopanda shiz is fabulous

Last year I treated myself to personalised notecards from honey tree . Ridiculous money, but lovely quality you get to choose your edges. Also comes beautifully packaged. Only a few people have merited one of those beauties, I tell you!
