We had an exciting parcel arrive this week, filled with stationery goodness. The gasps and squeals of excitement were off the scale. I think we may have upset a few passing dogs.

My favourite bits:

We've been collecting bits of stationery this week, which in my less-than-humble-opinion is the best sort of collecting one can do.
