My diary knows my thoughts as well as I know them myself. Anaďs Nin I have bought a hot pink Leuchtturm 1917 blank notebook for myself. Now I can’t remember where I saw this notebook brand online, but once I started investigating it I knew it was something I’d like, really like. Yes, I had […]

Magazine review: Featuring about art journaling et...
I received a review copy of the newish first issue of the magazine “Featuring” a while back. As I’m back from the beach a few hours I thought it was time for a little review today! And yes, I missed you while I was gone dear blog + readers. It’s a printed magazine about mixed […]
Awesome Supplies | Pink Dymo Labels
It feels like I’ve spent more time in art supplie stores than at my desk creating lately. It’s a horrible feeling that makes me feel empty and sad. But instead of complaining about time (again!) I thought I’d start a new series of posts that will occur occasionally. I’m calling it Awesome Supplies! In this […]

I’ve been wanting this fountain pen for a few years, hearing only good things about it. And now I own one. It’s called Lamy Safari and I got it from Jetpens (which was a really bad idea because when it came through customs I had to pay toll for it)! So it is a very […]

Fountain Pen + black ink = true love
I was feeling low on energy and very depressed. Going into the bookstore didn’t help, neither did buying a new white journal with a cover print that looks like lace. You can not buy happiness, it comes in strange and unexpected ways. I know this but I still try every now and then. Then I […]
Deco tape – it’s only my newest obsession
Great is the human who has not lost his childlike heart. Mencius (Meng-Tse), 4th century BCE Maybe it was one or two years ago that I first spotted decoration tape online? I’ve never seen this Japanese stuff in any stores here in Sweden, so I was fascinated and interested. What could then be cooler than […]
