Owl Simple Haul: Art&Craft Supplies

Hello there, my dear reader! How have you been this fine summer week?

I keep spending money! Sounds good, doesn’t it? Last week I decided to go on craft shopping and buy things that aren’t usually on my TO BUY craft list. I can’t say I failed, as I bought items of my frequent use and items that I have never bought before. Let’s see how it will go.

I’d love to share with you my new art supplies!

Do you see these birds? See them? Well, they are the reason I bought this set at all. I love these birds! I want to make so much with them that I don’t even know where to start. Tags, Project Life cards, mail art cuts – anything!

Hello, my dear reader!

Some time ago I have won an ephemera giveaway. And I must say it was awesome! my inner stationery monster was so delighted. But then a question arose – where can I get such treasures myself? What can I use as little inserts in my snail mail, as little gifts and tags and so much more?

Hello there, dear reader!

I have recently realised that I am absolutely addicted to all things mail and stationery. Okay, a lie, I knew it long ago. But I never thought I’ll be so fond of various gel pens! I just keep buying them, I already have a set of pastel gel pens that have a fruit smell. So yesterday I couldn’t pass by and bought a small set of new gel pens. There is nothing special about them, but I do like the juicy colour they give.

Also I finally bought a set of 4 washi tapes that I found in our central bookshop. It’s from HEYDRA and it’s awesome! I do recomment their washi tapes. They often come in 4, and this pack costs only about 2$ here. Though it’s not very long, maybe 4-5 meters, but it’s good and interesting to touch. I haveone or two more packs of washi tapes from HEYDRA. I hope they release more and the central bookshop restocks them. That reminds me that they have a set of 3 colourful lace washi tapes…

POSTCARDS. Who doesn’t love postcards. I don’t even send as much as I buy them 😀 I am a postcrosser, I need postcards – this is my excuse. I got a variety of them, from tourist ones to artsy ones. I do love a good postcard!

And what did you buy to treat your inner stationery monster?
