One week until National Stationery Week begins!

Paper, pencils and pens, oh my!  Yes, it's so very nearly my favourite time of year!  Next Monday is the first day of National Stationery Week and I can't wait for the fun to begin!  As usual there is a theme for each day and you can join in on Facebook and Twitter, there will be some great competitions and giveaways and you can get to know some new people who are fellow stationery addicts!  


Seven days of stationery

The sponsors for this year are Sheaffer pen and Nuco notebooks, both of whom I have worked with before and they really do make fantastic products!  I have been using my Sheaffer VFM pen for the last three years and it is my favourite ballpoint.  It is always tucked away in the pen loop of my planner!

I also have quite a collection of Nuco notebooks in a range of colours!  I especially like my bright pink one, the colour makes me so happy!

I have been blogging about National Stationery Week for the past four years but if this is your first time you can check out my previous posts here and get an idea what the week is about.  It isn't all just pretty stationery and products, it is also about getting people to pick up a pen and get writing again.  More and more of our time is spent typing on computers, phones and tablets, we want to encourage you to find the joy in putting pen to paper again!

The 26th April 2017 is World Stationery Day so where ever you are in the world you can get in on the stationery madness and celebrate too.  Though of course you are welcome to join in the whole week with us if you are outside of the UK!

Which day of #NatStatWeek are you most looking forward to?  Let me know in the comments please!

  2. Definitely fountain pen day. I have the most gorgeous Faber-Castell peanut wood fountain pen that I am just in love with as well as a beautiful silver Ohto one that I've just put teal ink into!

    1. Hi Welshygirl! Your Fabre-Castell pen sounds amazing, I bet it is well loved. Silver and teal go together beautifully, do you remember the brand or name of the ink? I'd like to check it out!

  3. Hi Amanda, the teal ink came from Cult Pens on their website, but not sure if they sell them anymore. I think they are Diamine ones?

    1. I love Diamine inks, I'm working my way through some of their shimmertastic colours at the moment! I will have to keep an eye out for their teal one ;)
