I have a thing about stationary….

I have always collected bits of stationary – notebooks, interesting paper, pens, cards – just about everything from all corners of the world.  wherever I travel to, stationary shops are the most appealing to me.  my favourite shop in london has to be choosing keeping – it used to be a small shop on Columbia road, but is now a beautiful showroom in Covent Garden.  everything is so beautiful, a perfect gift for any occasion – I find myself searching for reasons to buy this and that…..   beautiful boxes of pastels are in cabinets like museum pieces – but there is something for everyone from a couple of pounds.
