Sherbet Lane Stationery box

Sherbet Lane Stationery box - June.

Claire's theme for June was a really gorgeous one and one of my favourite books from my childhood, "The Secret Garden," it was as always beautifully thought out and the box was so exciting to receive. As always I opened it on my own, with a cup of tea and took the time to enjoy every little item as I opened them.

As always Claire wraps everything in tissue paper (pink) and everything is neatly packed inside the box.

So what was inside this month?

First off we have some lovely flowery stickers, a cute fabric button badge, and some washi tape (also floral).

There is a little craft project for you to make, with everything you need to make it. This time it's how to make a paper flower.

Then we have three art prints, i really love these this month and they'd look great framed somewhere in the house. Two are prints and the third is one to colour!

Then we have notecards and gift tags - all matching and floral - these are lovely!

and then a notebook and pen. I really like the pens that you get - they are all fine liners which I love - though occasionally you'll get something different.

and that's what is inside this months box!

Book reading has been a bit slow this month, lots of work on the house and at work too and now Ofsted are in for the next three days so it may be a while. I have one review scheduled but I can't publish it until next month, so you'll have to wait for that one!

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...
