Embed from Getty Images Last week I announced on Instagram that all proceeds that week would be going toward local charities. You responded so sweetly and together we were able to give £350 to Trussell Trust– a trust that supports UK foodbanks. The last minute nature of the decision meant I wasn’t able to properly

Blackwing Natural Review
Blackwings are the darlings of the pencil world. Like so many, it was the Blackwing 602 that was my gateway into the world of superior graphite. (If I’m honest, I’m a sucker for legacy marketing. They hooked me into their stories of Hemingway using the 602 to pen(cil) his novels. “Take my money!” I cried,

WHAT TO WRITE IN A LETTER- IDEAS FOR FRIENDS
Most people are well out of the practice of writing letters. If I’m honest, before this year I think the last time I wrote one was to my pen pal when I was eight. I’d beg my mom for ideas for what to write in a letter. (Btw- It was my best friend who moved

THINGS TO ADD TO YOUR PLANNER
One of my favourite things to kick off the new year is setting up my fresh, new planner. Honestly, I get giddy. I’m not a terribly organised person, so it carries with it the zeitgeist of “this year’s the year!” I also love going through last year’s planner and thinking through all our wee family

BOOK DARTS: A REVIEW
Its funny how a sliver of thin metal folded back on itself can change everything. (Okay- dramatic. Can change everything bookwise. Still…) Book Darts have done it. Book Darts are page markers of archival quality, so no fear of damaging your book. They easily slip on and stay put until you pull it out later
