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 ...

MyNameIsInigoMontoya · 12/03/2012 11:29

Ooh, I will have a look thanks travail, though I'm not usually a very 'pink' person!

stealthsquiggle · 12/03/2012 11:55

oh my word - I think I can safely say that I want everything on presentandcorrect.com

stealthsquiggle · 12/03/2012 11:57

filing tray?

ariadneoliver · 12/03/2012 12:08

Love Present and Correct too. I may as well just order one of everything for ease. Grin

MyNameIsInigoMontoya · 12/03/2012 13:27

Mm that is rather nice. Wonder if they stack?

I wasn't actually that big a fan of presentandcorrect, a lot of it looked to me like stuff that you would like when you got it but which would just turn into additional lying-around stuff after a while rather than being actually useful. I'm on a (very gradual) clutter-clearing mission at the moment, so have little patience for anything that doesn't earn its keep space!

hathorinareddress · 12/03/2012 13:40

I need want a fat pen. A proper fat fountain pen as fat as the No Nonsense ones used to be.

Can any of you ladies help?

stealthsquiggle · 12/03/2012 13:44

InigoM - I know what you mean. I want it all, but would never actually buy it because most of it is, indeed, "stuff".

MoreBeta · 12/03/2012 13:54

I do love the look and feel of a nice thick sheet of Conquer paper. You can buy it reams all packaged in a nice smart box from staples.

The feel of a making nice signature with a good fountain pen on Conqueror Bond is still one of those little pleasures in life. You can get matching envelopes too.

It's been a while hasn't it, MoreBeta.

Pan - I admit that I do sometimes just look at it and I go all wistful like.

Too much temptation on this thread! I already have a small filing cabinet of coloured paper, cards, notebooks of all sizes, postcards, highlighters, fineliners... How can people NOT love stationery?!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 12/03/2012 21:52

I only have a small wooden box of stationery porn but I NEED your 'small filing cabinet' Bleedingheart. :)

ariadneoliver · 13/03/2012 21:44

For anyone with branches nearby, Wilkos has some lovely retro styled stationery at the moment and Tiger has some good Scandi stuff. Very reasonably priced!

kitbit · 13/03/2012 21:51

Saw this thread and knew you'd be on it, Pan! :o

I like the Pantone B5 size notebooks, spiral with cream paper, narrow lines that fit my writing perfectly. The Muji pens glide perfectly on the paper, tis bliss. However they don't make the books any more so the 10 I bought about 2 years ago to use for projects at work are running low

Onesunnymorningin2012 · 13/03/2012 22:02

Muji pens...

Pocketsocks · 13/03/2012 22:43

While I have no answer to the question, I feel that this is the only place I will get any sympathy for my plight. Everyone else in my life has just raised an eyebrow and said "oh well"

My favorite, seemingly irreplaceable in terms of the "right feel" fountain pen broke this week. I sat on it

Woe is me!

thecarbonaraPan · 13/03/2012 22:48

kitbit gulp. Blush

My name is Pan, and I am unnaturally addicted to stationery. And I don't care.Smile

Wittsend13 · 13/03/2012 22:48

This thread has made me laugh. If you lot were my customers I'd be very rich!

MoreBeta · 14/03/2012 08:54

Moleskin notebooks. I have always wanted them. For some reason never actually bought one.

MorrisZapp · 14/03/2012 09:08

Hello, my people! Yup, am addicted to stationery too. Runs in my family. If me, my mum and my sister all go to paperchase together it's basically carnage.

Bigger branches of Rymans can be surprisingly good, but the only true hardcore hit for me now is stationery bought whilst on holiday. You know, abroad.

There's an amazing shop in (focking) Brugges, Hema it's called. Equivalent to a cross between Woolworths, Ikea and Paperchase. But foreign.

I came out punch drunk, weighed down, and slurring my words.

(they sell beauty stuff too)

Goes into reverie of blissful memory....

Scorchio · 14/03/2012 09:26

Hema is great! It's a big Dutch chain and it's one thing that I miss about living in the Netherlands. I bought LOADS of stationery before we moved back to the U.K.

Doyouthinktheysaurus · 14/03/2012 09:38

Pens are my thing......I have dispatched with the cheap and nasty biro's provided at work and carry my own personal stash of smooth writing gel pens. I love the uniball signo gel grip ones for work. They make even my appalling writing legible most of the time

Have to write in black for work, so for home I have discovered the most beautiful range of colours in the uniball eye pens. I have green, pink, purple, orange, wine.....oh they are lovelySmile

voila

Salteena · 14/03/2012 09:40

Has anyone mentioned this paper shop in London yet?

Oh my goodness gracious. It is heaven. Though pricey. Anyone who hasn't been should make a special trip to bankrupt themselves feed their addiction, seriously.
