Happy New Year

I've taken a pretty long break from the blog over the past few weeks, so much so that when I logged on the formatting had been changed and for a frustrating few minutes I couldn't work out how to upload a photograph, however, I persevered [new year's resolution: don't immediately fall at techie hurdles] and of course it's blindingly obvious once you spot the little + sign, but anyway, it's great to be back.

I had a nice email from Lucy at Quill London last week tantalising me with a headline which read: "New Year, New Notebook" which sent me straight to her site to check out the new Kate Spade stationery range. If you're not familiar with Kate Spade, she's a New York-based designer of up town handbags and accessories whose signature style is chic and polished. So if your correspondence is in need of a lift there are some lush new things to buy, I love the How The Devil Are You cards above and the Rotating Stamp which right now I would set to Start Something New. Bring on 2014 yeah!!

ps - there's also a sale going on if you're feeling the pinch.
