I made a couple of very exciting purchases over the weekend - those gorgeous glass vases and my new notebooks. Even though I do have my Blackberry, I alway prefer to write things down on a note book, electronic forms just isn't the same for me. I tend to get a lot of satisfaction crossing things off my to-do list and deleting things online never feels anywhere near as satisfying. And I have this perhaps unproductive habit of re-writing my lists over and over again! It's amazing how the simple things in life give you the most pleasure! Kellie xx

I love notebooks for making lists too - there's nothing like planning and sketching and then crossing something off and feeling that sense of satisfaction that it's complete :)
ReplyDeleteoh absolutely gorgeous. love those glasses. xo
ReplyDeleteI am the same way. Nothing better than crossing something out off my notebook once I am done. It gives me a sense of accomplishment. Cannot do that with my iPhone...
ReplyDeleteI love planning, doodling and making wish lists. The animal print notebook is super cute! are they from Typo, i love that store!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! And very interested in where you got the notebooks, they're gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteme too! as many applications that i have on my iphone (that i buy with every intention of using), i still refer back to the trusty pen and paper for all of my shopping/todo lists and brainstorming. its so satisfying.
ReplyDeletesuch pretty pictures xo
Loving the glasses, Regarding notebooks me too Kellie, I have even brought a magazine just to get the free notebook that comes with it.
ReplyDeleteThey are all over the place in my house, :)

Funny how we all love notebooks.
ReplyDeleteThe glass vases are such great shapes
Love the notebooks and stationery in general. The problem is that I like to use a few at a time - one for work, another for writing, then another for design ideas, blogs, etc. Crazy I know :)
ReplyDeleteenjoy your purchases
Luv how delicate these look.
ReplyDeleteI love the vases! They're so simple yet beautiful. I don't have a blackberry...yet, so I still do it the old fashioned way! Thank you for stopping by my blog and for your kind comments! Jennifer:)
ReplyDeleteI am so like you...must have a date book agenda at my side...in fact..I have that turquois one. Lovely images and that wallpaper of yours takes my breath away. oxxoxoxo
ReplyDeleteAhahaa...I can perfectly understand how you feel about notebooks. I have a million and always prefer to write on it then my phone or computer. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd these here are just great. Have a great day.

well coming from a paper lover,,, i'm with you darling! i can't live without making lists...and there is nothing that could replace that luxurious feeling of accomplishment when you get to cross something off, but still see it there and know you've 'done' that!

Hi Kellie, I feel the exact same way, my family thinks I am nuts. Of course, they are all "techno" geeks. I like my Blackberry also, but paper and pen just give me a sense of accomplishment ????
ReplyDeleteEverything looks stunning, as usual. Thanks for sharing and have a nice week.
ohh yes, those glass vases are gorgeous! i am thinking i need to get some more to put fresh flowers in them at all times!!
ReplyDeleteLove the glass vases! I agree with the need for notebooks, I try and put as much as possible into my phone, but at the end of the day I use my notebooks (plural!) all the time and there is always one in my handbag!

Beautiful purchases! The glass vases are cute and I love new notebooks. I have a few that I haven't touched but purchased because they were just too cute.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous darling! I love how the flowers look like they just blend into the wallpaper. There is just something about a new notebook...not sure what but I get excited :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous styling and lovely photos. These images remind me of Holly's images from Decor8 (and that's a great compliment...smile).
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, and reminding me that I need a fabulous new notebook.
