Kind family members gave me this Orla Kiely notebook and filing box for Christmas. They are just perfect!
Favourite Christmas gifts: Orla Kiely stationery
I didn’t have a single thing designed by Orla, but do love her optimistic, retro naïve style. And I tend to struggle just a tad with organisation and the containment of paperwork (aherm) so this is even more perfect for me.
Orla Kiely book and filing box
It gives me new impetus to clear the decks, and I have just the project in mind for them both. Thanks, kind family members!
Pristine notebook
Those are really lovely. Lucky you!
I love the design! I think I would be afraid to use them they are so nice.
I will be following your blog as you have such a wonderful array of interests much like my own.
I grew up sewing and working with textiles; I really had no choice as my mother is a seamstress.
Keep posting.
Laurie.
Do you mean that your mother stitched for a living, Laurie? I'd love to hear more about what you learned to sew. The ambient learning of craft at home is something I'm fascinated by, especially as many of the skills have atrophied – but are returning, I hope.
Yes, the first page in a new notebook can be daunting. I haven't broken into it yet. Am still in relish mode.
