Home styling - Home office space

Hello everyone,

First of all, HAPPY NOVEMBER! Can't believe November is now here, that came around fast! Thank you to everyone who looked at my yellow and black themed style saturday

Very excited to share this week's Style Saturday. I know lots of my blog readers work from home so this week's Style Saturday is for you! With the dark mornings and evenings it can be a bit more tricky to get yourself motivated and productive so I thought this Home Office Pick Me Up was perfect to bring some colour and fun into your office space!

If you are reading this from your home studio or office please say a hello in the comments section below. What do you have in your office space to make it a nicer environment to work in?

Back to School on Etsy - 5 products I love

Hi everyone,

Whenever I go on Etsy to check things in my shop I can't help but have a browse of other people's shops. I can get lost just browsing for hours on end, there are so many beautiful items on there!

Today I thought I would share with you all my top 5 back to school items that I have found on Etsy because I know lots of you will be heading back to school, college, university etc soon. Please take a look at these shops. Each shop is independent and is an artist or crafter who are selling their wares in their own individual shop. I have provided links below each item for where you can find it on Etsy.

5 back to school items I am loving this week...

#1

Perfectly simple but very beautiful, this pencil organiser/ desk tidy was made by a shop named Less and More which is based in Austria

#2

Just incase you need some reminding.... white gentle reminder pencils. These pencils have been handmade by AmandaCatherineDes

#3

I love this grown up lunch box by Chris Hughes from Artifact Bag Co. It is available in different colours too!

#4

Stay organised by remain stylish with these hand-painted Mason Jar desk tidys. Great for organising pens, pencils etc and available in lots of different colour combinations. I particularly liked this combination as it is very vintage looking

#5

Get organised! You would never miss an appointment, meeting, class etc with this reusable wipe clean wall decal

Feature Thursday- Anita from ecoPaperie

There is nothing quite like receiving a hand written letter through the post. It has become so rare these day when it's so easy just to send an email or facebook message. Whenever I receive a proper handwritten letter from my family, friends or my partner it always seems really special especially as there is that little bit more effort put into it. I think our generation miss out on what they had in Granny Dorothy's era, beautiful handwritten notes that they could keep and treasure forever.


This week's feature is Anita, a lady from Atlanta, Georgia who shares the same views about how special and lovely it is to receive a handwritten letter. She bought her first ever stationary set in 2nd grade still has it 27 years later!! She makes beautiful handmade stationary from recycled, repurposed and upcycled papers in all sorts of styles from vintage to funky. Here are a few of my favourite sets from her shop ecoPaperie

Here is a set of four handmade cards by Anita. They come wrapped like this so you can also give them as a gift.

This set is really sweet and great for sending to grown up friends who you haven't seen for a while

One of the more funky cards in here collection, such lovely colours.

Please take a look at Anita's store, she has such lovely stationary and surprise someone you love by sending them a little note!

Have a wonderful day
