Fresh on Folksy: Stationery

Welcome to my blog

Welcome to Fresh on Folksy, a place for me to shout about all the wonderful and inspirational handmade goods from the creative makers selling on Folksy. There is no favouritism or any kick backs, it's simply things I find on Folksy that I like and would part money with. Some will be new goods and some will be older but all will have some element of creative genius.

Here's to all those makers, to all those who strive to create wondrous things from nothing, here's to all those who bring a little whimsy into our lives, they should be celebrated and commended.

I myself, peddle my wares on Folksy, you can find me lurking over at Ed's Place come over and say hello if you get a moment.

So as not to confuse anyone or mislead I would like to point out that I do not work for Folksy or have any affiliation with Folksy. I do what I do simply to promote the Folksy sellers and by definition Folksy itself. The views expressed on this blog are mine and mine alone.

Owl Lino Print Card

Owl Lino Print Card by Daisy Matthews

Simplicity always works in my opinion and I do love this card. There's an element of ninja owl but I like that too. As the print is signed too it would make a nice small framed print. £2.50 for a signed original print, come on peeps, that's got to be worth a punt, surely.

Pair of Mini Moustaches

Pair of Mini Moustaches by Skull and Cross Buns

Enough of the peacocks for now, let's get down to something a little more serious! I love these hand carved stamps for adding that little extra touch to notecards, envelopes and letters to far flung corners of the world. Surely that's got to bring a smile to the postie's face in the morning, it would me.

Screen Printed A6 Notebook

Screen printed A6 Notebook by Lea Lloyd Designs

Another post another peacock only this one is slightly more regal and a little Chinese in style. This is very elegant printed notebook which anyone would be proud to pull out and start scribble on (the pages not the front!)

You're So Sweet Card

You're So Sweet Card by Ello Design

With so many great items in Leanne's shop it hard to pick but this one caught my eye as it's not the usual hearts and flowers valentines card. Lovely colours, simple message and who doesn't love ice cream? It's a steal at £2.00 for a card, why would you go anywhere else to buy cards?

Precious Goods Stickers

Precious Goods Stickers by LoveMaisy

As the recipient of many a crushed parcel, these stickers are a great alternative to the rather bland handle with care stamp. Would also work well on any gift wrap containing something delicious, delightful and delicate.

Boulanger Moustache Gift Wrap Stickers

Boulanger Moustache Gift Wrap Stickers by ODE by Jolyon Yates

Zut alors mon ami, sis is fabulous (apologies for my terrible French accent). Even before you get to open your pressies or open you letter you will be smiling if there was one of these sealing it down. I'm not sure why moustaches have become so popular or indeed why they make me smile but they do. A novel way to finish your gift wrapping this year.

Robin Bauble Christmas Card set

Robin Bauble Christmas Card set by Paper Planes

A very sweet addition to the Christmas cards available on Folksy. This is a set of five cards (including envelopes) for a very reasonable £5.00, now even me with my limited maths ability can work out that's a pound a card (round of applause for me please).

3 Pack Christmas Cards

3 Pack Christmas Cards by Spare

Another example of stylish thrift. The appealing (at least to me) geometric patterned snowflake is made up of unwanted scraps. Eco doesn't have to be hairy and a bit baggy.

Christmas Girl Card

Christmas Girl Card by Lisa Hunt Illustration

Tell me why anyone would go and buy a Christmas card from the high street when there is such a delightful selection to choose from on Folksy. Take this little beauty for example, lovely colours, simple but delicious design and makes me feel whimsical and nostalgic.

Embroidered peace dove notebook

Embroidered peace dove notebook by Fiona T.

I know a few people in my house who would love this to be in santa's sack this year. I do like the free style applique and nice style for the original illustration.

LetterLove Postcard

LetterLove Postcard by Ghost Goose - hannahrobinsonillustration.co.uk

I love the simple sentiment of this postcard, all too often we get wrapped up with email and instant messaging. We forget that it's a joy to get mail through the post, it might be old fashioned but it never fails to bring a smile to my face. Hannah's got a great style going, this postcard is just the tip of the iceberg. Take a look at her shop and her website, both are rather nice.

Library card 'save the date' cards

Library card 'save the date' cards by Archive Print

Although we are well and truly out of wedding season, I know how early you need to start planning and this save the date card is a unique way to organise your guests. I'm not sure I could remember the date I met my better half but these cards can be fully personalised, ingenius!
