What did the post man bring on this horrible morning?

Oh it looks as though he has bought Stationery Land with him!

Three parcels, your eyes do not deceive you!!!

Will open the smallest parcel first which comes from the lovely Cult Pens with some cute things which I ordered...

And what is inside??? who knows???

Some OHTO Smile Clips, Frixion clicker Pen (more detail on this later), refils for said Frixion, Copic Glitter pen and a free Page Surfer?

(each order will have a detailed blog post!)

Oooo what is this I see, a parcel from Glassworks? What could this fine delight be?

such pretty wrapping!

Name on the paper says it all!

4 Midori Notebooks, #003 and #002 which are plain and grid paper! I managed to get these for £2.75 each with a discount code!

ANOTHER ONE!!! How can this even be possible??

This looks like it could be The Journal Shop....could it be so?

Wrapping no way near as exciting...

A HUGE collection of Midori Notebooks and accessories, it would appear the Midori fairy has been!

I shall leave you there as I go to squirrel away another blog post with some unpacking of all these delights!

Filofax Collection of the Week - Kate - TPS

For the second week of the Filofax Collection we have Kate. I hope you enjoy seeing her collection!!

My name is Kate (a.k.a. TPS) and I run the blog The Life of The Perpetual Student! I blog about stationery, especially Filofaxes, and about studenthood and being an organised student!

Imy has asked me to talk about my filofax collection! I have a lot of lovely filos (my mum would say too many!!), and I love them all!

Here is a photo of my collection from a few months ago; unfortunately, I don't have a spare shelf at home for my Filofaxes (hoping to get a new bookcase soon!), so I don't have a recent photo of them.

Here are 2 videos I made to show you my filos. I made these videos 5 months ago, so my collection has changed a bit since then- photos of my new filos are below J

Check out my Youtube channel for more videos J

Here are my newer Filofaxes!

Purple Maldens, Personal and A5

And my BRAND NEW (today!!) Holborn in Wine!!

My favourite Filofaxes are:

· Ochre Maldens, especially the personal!

· Purple Maldens

· Raspberry Chameleons

And I'm sure my new Wine Holborn will quickly go into my favourites, once I've used it a bit!

As you can probably tell, I LOVE the Malden range!!

How do I use my Filofaxes?

I don't use all of my Filofaxes at once- I don't have enough things to use them for, except as storage binders (which I guess is a legitimate use, anyway!).

· I always use a personal-sized one for my personal, daily filo. I don't stick with 1 filo, I rotate between many, on an average of 3 weeks of use for the current one before I get bored with it and rotate! In the rotation are: Ochre Malden, Crimson Malden, Purple Malden (notice a pattern here!!) Red Amazona, Raspberry Chameleon, and occasionally my Kendal. And now, of course, my Wine Holborn is in there, and I think I will be in that one for a while!!

· I use my lovely A5 Ochre Malden for my uni research projects- it was my dissertation filo, and now it is my PhD filo (or at least for my proposal to apply), but I only use this at home because I don't want it to get damaged, so I put the insides into my A5 raspberry Chameleon when I need to take my notes to uni!

· I use my absolutely gorgeous A5 purple Malden for my projects and hobbies! It is divided into lots of sections, but I have been neglecting it lately, so after some TLC and some organisation, I will do a blog post on it soon!

Which Filofax do I regret selling?

I have sold a couple of Filofaxes, but I don't regret selling them. Mostly, I have had to return or exchange filos for being faulty- the one I regret most is my personal zipped Holborn in wine, which had notorious ring problems!

I would have loved to have been able to keep that one, the zip around the outside meant that if it rained, I could keep my papers dry! But now I have the non-zip version, hopefully it will be perfect!!

So that's my collection! I haven't actually counted them- I think then the realisation that I have too many would hit me, and I might have to start selling them off!!

Thank you so much Kate for being the first person to do this!! I have a few people lined up but if you are interested in doing one too please email me at filofaximy@live.com

Sorry about the lack of my text but internet at work keeps going down and my home internet is not good enough for using blogger! SORRY

ALL STARS GUEST POST - DELIGTED - Her Pen Collectipon

Here is a guest post as part of the Philofaxy All Stars Tour from Femke from Delighted, I recently posted a What's in my bag post for the tour on her blog! 

I remember I used to use those Uni Ball Fusion pens at school, and the ink looked clear but it was really pigmented and they were so cute, those and my Parker pen were by far my favorite school pens, I just searched on Cult Pens but they no longer sell them! Thank you for reminding me of them!  

Thank you

My Pen Collection.

I’m addicted to pens! As a stationary lover, pens are part of my collection too and here are some of my favorite pens :)

This is how I store the pens on my desk.

First up: My lamy. After hearing the Filofax crowd rave about this pen, I decided to try it myself. I like it, but I don’t love it.


These are my absolute favorite pens: Pilot Frictions. I use them in my planner only. I adore them.

I’m a Pilot-aholic. I love their pens and these are gorgeous too. The two on the right are so cute, the writing is light and the two on the left are used only in my journal.

These are just regular pens, just the printing on them is so cute.

The only Sharpie I own, a real Marc Jacobs one. Of course.

I hope you enjoyed this bit of my pen collections! And thanks Imy for letting me post on your blog!
