Sherbet Lane’s stationery box - April

Today my stationery subscription box from Sherbet Lane arrived. I love these little boxes of stationery goodness. It’s always nice to come home from work to and today I’m home alone for an hour so I get to sit down with a cuppa and open it in peace and quiet. 

I love the little 'Happy Post' sticker - it really is - every month!

Claire always tells us the theme before the boxes are sent out, so we have some sort of idea on what might be in there. This months theme was "Planner Queen".  I'm not great at planner using, I have a Filofax (old school) for work and I try and keep a bullet journal but never get very far with them, I'm not that creative, and just don't have the time to spend making it all look pretty. I'm sure at some point in the future I'll come up with something that works for me.

This is how Claire wraps them every month. Claire always provides a little bit of confetti and its always in tissue paper, it looks so nice that sometimes you don't want to get straight into it. On the underside of the lid there's always a detailed account of exactly what is in the box.


And then when you do pick at the wash tape to unveil what's inside, everything is neatly laid out and individual items are wrapped in paper bags which is really lovely.

The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris

So I have seen this book many times whilst out shopping but have never bought it. On Thursday I went shopping and picked it up, read the blurb and put it back on the shelf.  When I got home I downloaded it onto my kindle ready for a weekend at the beach house. Unfortunately I was still reading The Winter Secret and with a poorly child I didn't get that finished until yesterday. With the 10 year old flaked out on the sofa all day, I decided to start reading it. I knew the reviews were good, but quickly realised how good this book is.  It is based on a true story, one that Heather Morris has researched and written with the help of Lale (the main character) and his son. It is a beautiful moving love story surrounded by the horrific day to day happenings of Auschwitz.  Morris brings very clear and vivid imagery to her writing, and part of me, even though I know what happened in concentration camps, when it's written from the mouth of one survivor, it still left me num...

Peter Duck by Arthur Ransome

I love Swallows and Amazons, like properly love it. It takes me right back to being a child and the carefree summers we had. I use to run wild at the beach house, up and down the cliff, on the beach, late nights swims, beach bonfires, my child hood was idyllic and I was very lucky to have the beach house. I still am. Summers also c onsisted of watching Huckleberry Finn on telly whilst eating breakfast. It’s funny what you remember, isn’t it. Swallows and Amazons was part of my child hood. I loved the film (1974 version) and the fact it was so close to the book. If only we’d had a little sailing dingy and an island my summers would have been perfect.  I decided to read Peter Duck having not read any other of the series of book. I borrowed it from the library and I have to admit I’ve really struggled with it. It’s just not the same. The characters are all there, including Captain Flint, but the Peter Duck character with his pirate talk just really annoyed me. It kind of lost the ...
