For List Lovers

Every time I went to Waterstones book store I couldn't help stopping at the notebook section as they have such a gorgeous collection. Sometimes I think its such a shame that I have no use for them as there are some amazing designs out there.

 

This notebook that I blogged about last week I loved a lot but every time I saw it I thought of the lady I worked with last year who was great at writing lists of jobs etc... but also she loved notebooks.

When I saw it once again last weekend I blogged about it on here and it made it even harder to resist so I couldn't help but buy it for her.

I should have put lists above the little note card but anyway it ended up looking like this....

She loved the packaging and didn't want to open it but she loved the notebook as much as me. I know she'll put it to good use. It's nice to surprise people who appreciate it.

Love....

• snail mail
• stationery
• holidays
• sunshine
• long summer nights
• a meal cooked for me
• a change of bed sheets/cover
• the feeling of something new
• then the feeling of something old

What about you?

Collections

Things I'd love to collect

• Stamps (aren't those just the lovest stamps, it just makes it so tempting to get an album to stick them all in).
• Postcards~ I do have a collection but I'd love to do it on a regular basis, unfortunately I can't as they are just such a limited thing to buy here.
• African figurines~I just love them, whether its an African carved person or animales (like a family of elephants, zebra's etc...). I don't do this though as the people are so inappropriate for my culture as people who came to my house would be horrified at a womens curvy bits. I can just admire them from far.
• Loose stationery sheets~This is something I thought about way in my teens of keeping one sheet of every paper that I ever owned but the problem with that is that I want to have the paper to write on instead so that never happened and now I don't have the space.
• Books ~I'd just love it but again it comes down to having space.

Have you ever had a collection or would like to have one?
