Confessions of a Stationary Geek

October 15, 2011 by Susan Leave a Comment

Yes, most people who know me well, know all too well that I am a stationary geek.

Wandering into places like Paperchase and Scribbler give me lots of joy as I see multitudes of notebooks, diaries and other stationary items. At the moment I’m looking for a 2012 diary.  I bought one about a month ago and I am now feeling that it was an impulse buy and I’m not happy with it so I’m going to cut my losses and try and find a new one. Sometimes I feel that I’m slightly over-obsessive – i definitely think there is “the one” just waiting for me on a shop shelf!

Here are some diaries I have seen which I’m liking, but these aren’t the one for me.

Are there any stationary items you get maybe a  little bit too excited over?!

    I’m a huge fan of stationery! I send a lot of cards so am a sucker for nice ones, but also love a good notebook!
