I Love Stationery
I Love Stationery: Inspirational Techniques, Materials, and Practitioners | Charlotte Rivers
8 posts | 1 to read
Despite digital technology dominating the way we communicate and record information, the stationery industry today is thriving, and is home to some of our most interesting examples of illustration and design. I Love Stationery is a luscious collection of the very best of these, from gift wrap to greetings cards, notebooks, journals, invitations and much more. Organised by technique, it covers hand-drawn illustrations, screen prints, letterpress, woodblock, digital illustration, calligraphy, spray paint, papercut, relief print and etchings. Each chapter begins with an explanation and tutorial on the specific technique featured, and includes an arresting array of lovely examples. Top tips and bite-sized interviews with stationery designers offer useful, practical advice on everything from paper choices to sustainability and how to approach manufacturers. Beautifully designed and in a gorgeous, take-anywhere small format, I Love Stationery is jam-packed with stunning notepaper, bags, wrapping paper and letter sets. It is a testament to the many designers and whod rather send a letter than text or email, and to the crafters who prefer to put their thoughts in a journal than post a blog.

Talking of addictions, I have a serious Filofax problem. Here is my collection of pocket sized planners. All are in use - the purple one on the right is my favourite & most essential!

JackOBotts Beautiful! Without being invasive, how are you using them? I struggle to maintain multiple practices, so I‘m impressed by these beauties all getting love! 💜 2y
TheAromaofBooks Notebooks - so addictive!!! 2y
Avanders What @JackOBotts said! 😁 2y

JanuarieTimewalker13 Hardcore Hobonichi fan here, I get the addiction!!! I can‘t live without my Cousin, Original or Weeks!!!one is personal journal, one health journal and the weeks is my portable!! 2y
wanderinglynn These are beautiful! 😍 But I too am curious as how you use so many. I struggle to maintain one. 😆 2y
readingjedi @JackOBotts @Avanders @wanderinglynn Purple one has my reading plans & NetGalley checklists, yankee candle scent notes & bands/music to check out. Pink is my everyday notebook that goes everywhere with me. Green is my shopping/hobbies info, notes, recommendations etc. Silver is a book index including books I've read, TBR & wishlist. Blue is holiday & travel planning/info. I frequently swap sections around as well. I just love making lists! 2y
marleed Oh how fun! Many years ago I saved and saved until I could purchase a genuine (that was important) leather Franklin (brand was critical) planner. I loved that thing. Carrying it with me made me happy! It may have been my grown up version of a baby doll! I don‘t use that planner anymore but I still have it along with a box full accessories that snap into the binder. I smile every time I see it. 2y
MaureenMc 😍I love your system, too. 😁 2y
JackOBotts 😍 Love this; thank you for sharing! I‘m working with a single, catch all, day to day bullet journal and a single book journal. I love seeing how you divide and conquer. 🥰 2y
readingjedi @JackOBotts These are only the half of it! I also have a Clever Fox weekly planner, a diary, a book review journal, a yearly reading summary journal & a weekly list prompt journal! 🤣 2y
julieclair Oh my goodness... The tagged book! I have just ordered a copy for my niece, and one for myself as well. We both have serious stationery addictions. 🙄🤫 2y
wanderinglynn That‘s really cool. I love how you use your notebooks. Thanks for sharing! 2y
Avanders Wow you are super organized!! 🤓☺️ 2y
Ms_Ashley I love this! I have a similar system, a combination of HP Mini (catch all), HP mini as a book/ entertainment tracker and review, HP Mini for my Faith planner, A5 onion skin journal for long hand journaling and stationery playing, A5 Hobonichi Cousin for work, Hobonichi Weeks for book notes/annotations, and and a standard travelers notebook for commonplace book ❤️. 2y

I thought my stationery geek friends would appreciate a couple of the birthday gifts from my hubby. That highlighter pen set ? - it‘s a special 50th birthday edition. (Stabilo‘s 50th birthday -not mine! I‘m nearly there, but not quite….?)

Also a beautiful set of Moleskine notebooks, monogrammed no less, and a Bibliothèque candle - he knows me so well!

Congratulations on your website and all the best!!💚 My favorite stationaries are notebooks, sticky notes and bookmarks. I love using these a lot since writing things down always seem like a good way to get a start on things! 😁

sisilia Thank you so much 😘 Good luck! 🍀 6y
