Bookish stationery guide and wishlist
This week I took part in one of those memorable group conversations when someone produces something everybody else once. The thing in question was a set of Jackie Morris notecards. These were passed around the table and admired. Stoked. Snail-Mail may be in decline but people love beautiful notecards more than ever.
Jackie Morris is one of my favourite artists, and I’m also pleased to include Dee Nickerson in this round-up. She paints introverts. Women with cats and books. Women who jump in the waves and dream of flying with the birds. I love her art more than I can possibly say and aspire to live like a woman in a Dee Nickerson painting.
I own a small amount of bookish stationery. My Peter Pan Moleskine is my pride and joy – and still hasn’t been written in because I haven’t had thoughts which are worthy of its pages.
Here is my current bookish stationery wish list. Is there anything here you would like to own? Do you have any beautiful bookish stationery? Let me know in the comments below.
Book Murmuration 
Those Puffin Postcards are going on my list too! I already have a set of Puffin colour in postcards and the love the Roald Dahl postcards you can get too: I gave them to my friend as a present, which has worked out well as most of them are posted back to me!

They are so cute Rachel! I have a book about Puffin cover design and any number of older Puffins I have picked up through various second hand shops and sales. They make a lovely collection. I would love to see more bookish stationery. It is great to celebrate our hobby outside of reading.

Definitely – I think stationery and books go hand in hand, I don’t know many bookworms who aren’t also stationery fiends! What’s the book about Puffin cover designs? I’d love to see that.

Me neither! The book is called Puffin By Design.
It must be nearly 10 years old now so it doesn’t feature the most recent titles but it is a great look at the history of Puffin design.

Some of these are SO tempting! Yet I already have a multitude of unused notebooks and notecards, plus postcards waiting to be framed…oh dear!

I’m going to run out of wall space! Particularly as bookshelves take first place and only then can pictures be fitted in around them!

They would be so fun for a get-together activity. ☺️ imagine constructing a joint story starting with the pencil prompts.

I bought three boxes 6 or 7 years ago – Rupert, Winnie the Pooh and Paddington. Those are just running out now (I want to keep one of each design to frame.) Will have to think hard about what to buy next.
