It's usually around September that my stationery fetish goes into overdrive. I don't know if it's the new job, working from home more, or just how feckin' cute these finds are, but I'm feeling a bit of a desk update. Above:

Colouring books for adults (distinctly different from adult colouring books, just so we're clear), have become hugely popular in the last year or two – check out how many of the best-selling books on Amazon right now are colouring books for grown-ups. For Christmas, Ben gifted me Lost Ocean,

We're having my nephews and niece over a mini Halloween party, so I've been researching games, traditions and pretty eats. Click through for some links! Above: These Halloween "pun-kins" really made me smile. Get the how-to here. Speaking of which, these beautiful Designlovefest pumpkin
