As well as notebooks, Paperblanks also have a collection of beautiful accordion boxes. A couple of years ago I bought the Ivory Veil Accordion Box while travelling in Paris, France. Recently I have started using this for filing papers from work while WFH. The Accordion Boxes take the functional file folder to the next level, […]
I previously backed the 2018 Snowman Greeting Cards Collection which I loved. So I was delighted when they released a 2019 Snowman Greeting Card Collection. Unfortunately, there were delays to the delivery of the campaign and they only arrived this month. So a bit late for Christmas. However, at least I am sorted for next […]

On one hand, foreign-made luxury brands were gaining popularity within an economic environment of ever-rising prosperity. On the other, poor-quality, low-priced goods were appearing on the market and had a polarizing effect on […]
Another undated planner for my collection which I found on Kickstarter. The Planner is covered (and filled) with cute doodles so it was an absolute must buy. However, I have bought quite a number of planners already for 2020 so it is likely that this one will need to go on the shelf for use […]
