Sherbet Lane’s stationery box

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.

Watching You by Lisa Jewell

Watching you by Lisa Jewell really didn’t disappoint. As I’ve said before I’m a big fan of Lisa Jewell books, they are usually gripping stories and easy to read. This one was both. The story starts with a murder scene but the author doesn’t tell you who it is and this makes you start questioning every character in the story. The story follows the main characters Joey, a newly married women, who with her husband, are living with her brother and sister in law in their house on the terrace which is the main setting of the story. The next main character is Tom Fitzwilliam who lives two doors away with his wife and son. Tom is a superhead who has been brought in to turn around the local academy school. His son, Freddie, is portrayed as a bit odd, constantly watching and photographing people who live in the village and recording their day to day goings on. Hence the “Watching You.” The other main characters are Jenna and Bess who go to the academy. Bess is infatuated by Mr F and Jenna...

Stationery Subscription box

You may have seen them or something similar. There are all sorts out there now from beauty products to Gin but my love is stationery (I do like the odd Gin too!). I am a member of the Bring Back Paper facebook page hosted by Jocelyn from The Reading Residence and I asked on there which were the best stationery subscription boxes out there. A few were recommended to me but the most popular one was The Sherbet Lane subscription. I had a look at a few of those suggested including the Paper gang but decided that I would treat myself to six months subscription to The Sherbet Lane box. Immediately after I joined up, Claire who runs it added me to the facebook page and OMG! She designs all her own work and the variety of products have been amazing. Every Monday she runs a little competition for members of the facebook group as well as designing all the stationery for the boxes. You get anything from paperclips (beautiful ones not just bog standard!), pens, pencils, notebooks, m...
