Sublime stationery: no 1

Well, PB Lovelies (all 174 of you – hello to the newbies!), it seems that many of you share my unbridled passion for stationery. To my utmost surprise and delight, my stationery post here is now my most popular. By miles. Since then, I’ve discovered innumerable new stationery websites and blogs. So, how about I start an occasional series on stationery to satisfy our mutual delights? Sounds good? Okay, let’s go! Here are some delightful websites for you to ogle at with me.

Kikki K

Australian stationery lovers are probably aware of this fabulous brand, established by the talented Kristina Karlsson in Melbourne, Australia in 2001. Her simple Swedish designs are classic, clever and reasonably priced. The whole gamut of stationery is effortlessly covered. The website is a dream to use. You can shop by collection, colour (my favourite way – I pick the blue every time) and interest. You can join up and collate a perpetual wishlist (hmm, that could come in handy with Christmas approaching!). And today I discovered her blog where I found this divine package. Isn’t that the most gorgeous wrapping idea?

And here are some close-ups. Ooh, the jaunty baker’s twine! The novel use of old atlas pages. Sigh.

Loving these cute little stickers. I ordered some today – how could I resist?

LetterboxCo

This newish Sydney company stocks a delightful and eclectic mix of vintage and new products including  ‘paper, pens, pencils, notebooks, pin bottles, document/laptop bags, manila tags, Kraft gift tags and canvas bags’, according to its blog. How about this sweet little set? I fancy those scissors, don’t you? Not bad value for $A30.

Lovely Design

The extraordinarily talented Sharilyn is a clever crafter in Vancouver, Canada. She hand makes these delightful retro-styled, wooden address files in maple and black walnut. Sigh. One of these would make me feel so much more, well, ordered.

What a shame these ‘far away mail boxes’ made from vintage maps and recycled paper are out of stock. Imagine receiving mail in a such glorious envelope!

Lovely Tape

This heavenly French business has me absolutely entranced. How about this pretty Japanese washi tape?

Oh, and this. Sigh. Just beautiful, isn’t it?

This tape could almost convince me to start scrapbooking. Almost…

You can create the prettiest things with such tape.

Hmm, I think some of these Japanese stickers might soon be winging their way to Planet Baby. Don’t you?

Oh, and I could do a lot with 220 metres of this cheery twine!

Treat yourself by subscribing to their pretty blog. Oh, my! It’s very late (Mr PB is still at work so there’s no one to remind me to go to bed). Do you want to see some more? Go on, make my day!
