THE GOLDEN TOUCH

Hi. My name is Flyn, and i'm an addict.

I admit it, I just can't help myself when it comes to a crisp new notebook and this is why my desk is a notebook mountain. I use and abuse - filling only the first few pages and then getting distracted by the next new design that catches my eye. So when I spotted these today I just couldn't stay away.

Unfortunately these aren't for sale though. They are the to-die-for DIY creation of the extremely photogencic Whitney over at Eat Sleep Cuddles (my new fave). Aren't they just the perfect combination of hot pink and gold? Time to get the gold leafing out.

SUGAR PAPER

Kraft paper, hand lettering, hot pink & gold foil... these are a few of my favourite things - and all wrapped up together in one beautiful letter press collection from Los Angeles stationery company Sugar Paper. Love!

oh happy days on paper

Oh happy days! I'm not going to lie. If I was to receive a hand written note on this colour scrumptious note paper from design studio tokketok i'd probably be more than a little giddy.

I know paper goods and stationery aren't most people's obsession but how could that neon colour and gold foil combination not get you excited? Seriously.

And of course the fact that these sets are only for "happy" occasions means that it would be impossible not to crack a smile.
