There’s a new lovely little online shop on the scene and it’s name is Papercookie! Owner Leonie Cheung and her husband Simon offer a carefully selected range of independently designed paper goods and unique products for the home and office, including some of my favourite brands and designers: Rifle Paper, Shanna Murray, Knot & Bow, Elm Paper and O-Check.

I know all of you are the same as me and can’t get enough of gorgeous stationery and products so take a peek! They are based in Australia but the good news is they ship worldwide.

Four words. Four gorgeous large prints from Swedish designer Ylva Skarp.

I adore Kikki.K’s new Organisk Collection, hand drawn patterns and gorgeous colours, what’s not to love! My favourites would have to be the A5 Unlined Notebooks and Adhesive Note Set.

In other news, things have been a little quiet on the blog while I’ve been running the first Your Darling Blog online workshop. There’s only one week left so I hope to pick things up on the blog again later this month.

If you are interested in joining me in the next workshop, visit the website for dates and registration details.

I hope you all have a beautiful weekend!

Minted has a great collection of journals (plain or lined) available in their store which can be customised with your name or monogrammed initial. There are many gorgeous designs, many of which include 3 or 4 colour variations to choose from, there’s sure to be one to suit your personality.

Looking for some sweet cards to send to your family and friends? I love this set of cards illustrated by Denise Holmes of Nisee Made paper goods. They are available on Etsy, and you can find more of Denise’s gorgeous illustrations on her website.

Oh my goodness, how amazing are these artworks created by Valerie Roybal! Her work is composed of vintage, salvaged and collected materials, arranged and layered carefully to transform into these wonderful pieces. See more of Valerie’s work on her website and flickr.

When viewing office before & afters on design blogs you’ll often find that simply organising documents neatly into rows of ring binders, arranged on a nice bookcase, makes a huge difference in simplifying your office space. Here are a few great products which would be perfect in tidying up or redecorating your office.
