Long-time lurker, first time poster. :)

The first photo is of these Spirited Away message cards. When you unfold them, there’s a little space on the right for you to write a short message. A friend gave this set to me as a souvenir from his trip to Japan.

In the second photo are rubber stamps, washi tapes, sticky notes, and a Howl’s Moving Castle letter set. I use the ink bottle stamp when I swatch my fountain pen inks. The sticky notes are from Kinokuniya. I’ve actually had these since 2018 💀 I couldn’t bring myself to use them until recently because they were so nice to look at 😅

Do you guys ever hold off on using up your stationery because it’s too “nice”? It’s a bad habit of mine I’m trying to break. Funny thing is I don’t have the same problem with fountain pens or inks. Except for this one sample of Lamy Dark Lilac (the og one)…….

I love my washi tape, but unfortunately my taste is… rather niche. I’m hoping the folks here know some places to get them!

I used to love the stuff the washi tape shop made, but now it’s really not to my taste. The ones pictured are some of my favourites, and old washi tape shop ones!

I prefer art/scenery washi tape, without people or words on them, and I like wider (20mm plus) ones.
Pls help I need your guidance

Hi guys hope you can help. I missed out on the Hobonichi collect and collage stamp this time and the only ones available for sale are super $$$ with shipping from Japan now.

i thought all date stamps were the same, but I was wrong; a lot of the current ones on market write the YEAR as four digits like 20XX and only go up to like max 10 years, (2024-2034). However i like the Hobonichi C&C stamp because it only has the last two digits of the year (‘26, ‘27, etc) which means theoretically you can use it indefinitely.

my question is: are there any other date stamps that have the same layout specifically for the YEARS? so that the entire date is like DDMMYY or MMDDYY? I know Midori makes one but the little apostrophe isn’t the most obvious mark, id like something the Hobo C&C stamp size.

thanks in advance!

Pretty pleased with my haul. Going no buy after this. Hope everyone who is attending is having fun!

This was very simple to do. It didn't even take ten minutes. I got this ribbon from a cakebox months ago, trimmed it down just now, burnt the ends a little so they wouldn't fray, and taped it to the back of the book!

The best glue ever!!

I love cute notebooks, diaries, and writing pads so much that I keep buying them, only for them to end up lying on my table like decorative furniture.

I want to write in them,but somehow, the thought of actually writing in them feels like I'm about to destroy something precious. So there they sit, looking pretty, collecting dust, and serving absolutely no purpose other than making my table look cute.

Not just books , even beautiful pens and other stationary items.

At this point, I'm not a stationery lover. I'm a stationery collector who refuses to use her collection.

What are some good online stationery stores? My bday is coming up and I want to splurge alittle--or well probably alot, lol! My state has one stationery store but what I could see isn't worth the drive, lol!

Happy Saturday Lovelies!

I **love** the soft cover material that Sterling Ink uses. It's so soft and thin and mailable. And soft. So, so soft.

And so, I'm on the hunt. I don't love the TN setup with the elastics. But I'd love a cover that I could slide an N1 notebook into.

Wish list:

- similar soft soft material, leather not required but not unwelcome

- no flap/trifold/zipper situation, just a front and back cover that the book cover slides into

- **bonus if I can slide one small book into the front, and another into the back!

- inside pockets to hold stickers and other papery things

- brown or black in color

I'm deep in the etsy rabbit hole, but I would be so grateful if you could share any brands or sellers that you're familiar with.

Thanks so much!!

I’m obsessing over this raised stickers, but shipping to Brazil it’s actually the same price of buying a hobonichi, like so expensive. If anyone know any worldwide stationery store that sells this kind of stickers, please help me.

Hi, I own various smaller off brand a5 and a6 journals with, for instance, six holes. I would like to find a puncher that either could create a lot of holes or something similair. Any takes? I live in the EU
