Paper Matters

This Easter my family and I travelled around Vietnam. Many hours were spent on planes and trains and when the scenery disappeared we turned to the iPad to entertain us.  Sadly, as a family we spent way too much time competing for the highest score on Fruit Ninja but since that doesn't really relate to a blog about stationery, I will spare you the details and instead confess to also playing (not always very well much to the disappointment of my daughters) The Font Game by ilovetypography.com. The Font Game is actually more of a rapid fire quiz where you are asked to correctly identify 34 fonts. For those who think they know their fonts this game will test your knowledge as well as increase it along the way! Give it a go and if that doesn't excite you then I can always recommend Fruit Ninja!

Budget deficits, talks of a double dip recession and worker strikes -- definitely not a good news week! When all the news is so gloomy many people might feel that this year is not the year to have a Christmas party. But I think the opposite -- that this year, more than ever people need to get together to remember and celebrate all the things we have to be thankful for. Christmas parties don't need to be a lavish affair. Of course, we think an invitation is still a nice way to create anticipation. In a nod to the current climate we have introduced Christmas ready-write-to invitations in three different styles. The invitations sell in economical packs of 12 cards and envelopes for £15.
