stationery addicts anonymous and my favourites

This is the start of a new series :) As you know, I already have the 'My Filofax Week' series going on, but I want to add something new and extra to this blog and so, this spells the beginning of another series. Each week, you will encounter a meeting for Stationery Addicts Anonymous. And each week, you will meet a new addict and then they will tell you what their favourite items of stationery are. I hope you will join me on this series - and also participate too if you feel this is a group you belong to :) Just contact me at paperlovestory @ outlook.com

Hi, I’m Angela and I will be your group leader for Stationery Addicts Anonymous. Welcome to the group and I hope you will join us for these weekly meetings. I myself am also an addict. I own more pens than your average Joe, more notebooks, more sticky notes and stickers, washi tape, stickers... As a result, I feel I can empathise with your stories too as each week, we will focus on a member of the group.

Today, I will run you through my three favourite items in my collection. 

So first up; my favourite stickers. These are obviously my Rilakkuma ones. I'm looking forward to the day when I can head back to Hong Kong for a few weeks and stock up on more Rilakkuma items. I already have some hangers from there from my trip five years' ago and a key ring from two years' ago but I want to add more Rilakkuma stationery items.




Second, my favourite sticky notes. These are from Paperchase and are SO cute. I love the large, striped ones because they are ideal for writing lists on.

From the left: large, striped sticky notes, two circular ones with faces on, five tabs, two tabs, two mini sticky notes and another large, striped sticky note.



Thirdly, my favourite pens. Don't tell me you didn't see this coming! Muji gel pens. I love the colours, I love how they write and the price is quite decent, especially considering how well they write. I love the minimalistic design too.




Join me next week, where we will meet another addict! Remember, stay strong and together, we can battle (or enable) this addiction together! Until next week :)

  2. Every time you post the Muji pens I don't recognise them because ive taken all the lables off mine! I have a drawer full and i've found some more scratchy than others... have you found this?

    1. When you say scratchy,you mean the nib, right? (Dumb question, I know! But I've found the labels get scratched easily too.) I've never had a problem with my Muji pen nibs? I only use 0.5mm (but I started off using 0.38mm which can be quite scratchy) and have found them quite smooth x

  3. I think we should rename Reader Under the Spotlight... Filofax Addicts Anonymous !!!

    1. Hehe yes! But not everyone has more than one Filofax so can they still be classified as addicts? :) x

  4. Great new feature, Angela -- though I think I've been a recovering addict for a few years and this weekly meeting may incite a fall off the wagon.
