I'm back with another supplier spotlight today! A couple of the items I purchased with my own money and one the owner of the shop very kindly sent me.
So firstly when I saw this cute little planner band I had to have it! I didn't really know where I was going to use it but thought it was just too cute. It's happened to us all at some point I am sure or at least I am hoping it has lol! Anyways don't you think it looks right at home on my real Websters Pages Color Crush planner...
I already owned a travelers notebook from Lyraandco on Etsy in this gorgeous unicorn print but when I saw this matching pencil case...well, yeah. I bought it!
And then lastly Emma who owns the shop super kindly sent me this gorgeous planner clip. I was super psyched as we own a VW camper!!!

It's been quite a while since I've done a 'supplier spotlight' mainly because I haven't really bought anything for a while so haven't had anything to show you. I've been saving for some bigger things which I'll probably talk about or show you at some point in the future.
Anyhoooo I do have a supplier spotlight to share today but I didn't actually purchase these. So I came across this shop on Etsy whilst looking for products to go in the April Brimbles Box. I fell in love with the 'planner need' paperclip, it was so cool and matched the theme perfectly so I asked Kayleigh if she would be interested in supplying the box and I was delighted that she said yes!
Kayleigh was so sweet and when she sent me my order she included some extras for me which I am sharing with you today. They are super cute and I love them!

It's time for another 'Supplier Spotlight'. You have seen Cludy Cow on the blog before BUT you can never have too many cute stationery items right?
I took part in a 'stock swap' with some other ladies who run, well, errrr shops obviously lol! I showed you My Pretty Week last week and today it is time to share the goodies that I got from Daisy aka Cloudy Cow.
So the first thing she sent me was this super cute washi tape with lots of wellington boots on it. I mean seriously cute! I love it and it is going to work perfectly with journalling about the garden (or festivals if I should be lucky to go to any lol). It will also inject a bit of colour into Autumnal pages as I like to wear my wellies when we go for woodland walks. Perfect!
The second thing that Daisy sent me was this super cute ice cream pen in lilac. I love slimline pens like this as they slip into your pen loops nice and easily. I also love the fine tip on them as they are great for writing small.
Don't you think it looks right at home in my purple original Filofax!
Please do go check Daisy out and show here some love...
Places you can find Daisy / My Cloudy Cow:
I asked Daisy if she could tell us a bit herself and the shop...
I’m Daisy, I live in the UK and am 21. I became self
employed at 18, and since then I’ve managed to set up two businesses, and
I also started a YouTube channel (MyGreenCow). I’m a lover of all
things stationery/craft related, and share this love via my YouTube
channel and other social media. I’ve always been a creative person, so
it’s amazing to be able to incorporate that into my full time job!
I set up Cloudy Cow so that I could offer cute stationery items you can't
find as easily in the UK. But I do offer worldwide shipping!
At the moment the shop has three different sections! They are as
followes:
WASHI TAPE- Here you will find a wide range of washi that is available.
Not ALL the washi will be in stock at ALL times, but I do my very best
to keep the shop well stocked.
POP UP - Here you will find random
stationery items! It's called the 'pop up' section for a reason. The
items listed here won't ALWAYS be available, they may only be available
for a limited time, there will always be limited stock and they may not
come back again, so grab them whilst you can! I decided to add this
section, because it adds variety and a bit of fun to the website!
OTHER -
Here you will find others items which will be a permanent fixture on
the website, these will not be going anywhere and will be restocked
regularly, much like the Washi Tapes.The recent re-launch gave me time
to full revamp the website and ‘mould’ it into shape a bit.
I’m
extremely happy with how it’s turned out and this should hopefully be
the start of a long journey for Cloudy Cow!

I have some gorgeous items to share with you this week for my 'Supplier Spotlight'. I mean seriously, if you like cute things then you are just gonna squeal with delight as did I when I opened the package up!
I did a little swapp with the lovely Lisa from My Pretty Week over on Etsy and she sent me these gorgeous magnetic book marks / page clips. You can just see why I love them can't you, not only is one of them a cute bunny but they are also adorable Autumn creatures all snuggled up in their winter woollies!
The note cards are gorgeous too! They have the same characters on and the quality is really good.
I have fallen in love with these so much that you might just be seeing some of these products in an upcoming Brimbles Box but you will just have to wait and see for that he he!!
Seriously guys go and check out her Etsy shop www.etsy.com/shop/myprettyweek as she has some fantastic and cute Halloween and Christmas designs and I know you are going to love love love them!!

The lovely Daisy from My Green Cow / Cloudy Cow sent me some goodies from her new shop to share with you guys!
I have known Daisy for a while now through the wonderful planner community online. She has a fantastic YouTube channel and has recently launched her shop selling lovely stationery and planner goodies. You know I can't resist goodies and I like to share and support other ladies in business too so I am delighted to share Cloudy Cow with you today....
So what delights did Daisy send me....
The most gorgeous bunny magnetic clips in the World. Ever. I mean seriously, how cute are these! The little girl Kraft bunny has gone straight on to my Kate Spade agenda, I just couldn't wait. I don't think I could be any more in love with a clip than I am right now!
And just look at this cuteness on the left. Oh my word!!!
A girl can never have too much washi tape huh! Well in my opinion anyway he he! I am so loving this fruit tape, it is right on trend at the moment with all the pineapples and watermelons. I have been really into a zesty mood and so this is just perfect for me!
These two tapes are to die for! I love them! I am so loving the monochrome look, they are amazing and you know the quality of all these tapes is fantastic too. I know I will be making lots of use of these lovlies!
I have been eying these stickers up for a while as they are just so pretty and I do like star shapes. I had absolutely no idea that you get 6 sheets in a pack! That is amazingly good value.
I didn't think Daisy could leave me smiling anymore but then I saw these. Oh those little faces are just the cutest don't you think. The left me absolutely beaming. I am in love!
Very lastly Daisy sent me two of her planner tassle charms, one in white and the other in teal. I have used Daisy's photo from her website as he photo is so much better than mine. They are really lovely and going to look perfect on my planner.
I think you will agree that it is all fandabbydosey! Thank you so much Daisy for sending me these goodies to play with and to share with everyone.
Please do go check Daisy out and show here some love...

I have been on the look out for a non leather fauxdori for Jon for a while. I wanted to make him a garden journal as a present for valentines day. I purchased the inserts and then couldn't find a fauxdori anywhere! Most of the fauxdoris are leather or if not incredibly girly. I had to give him an I.O.U. for valentines bless him but he is ever so sweet and said don't get me anything at all. I had to though coz I love him and really wanted to. We tend to buy each other 'proper' presents not gimicky valentines things and also Jon loves practical / useful presents.
I did approach a couple of people but they never got back to me, then one day the lovely Serena Bee shared a photo on instagram of the needori she had purchased from Neen. I fell in love with it and had to check Neen out right away.
Image Credit: https://instagram.com/seresbee/
Neen had and well actually still has some amazing fabric patterns in her Etsy shop and it was hard to resist. I was about to order when when I saw that she was able to do custom sizes so I thought I would message her and see if she could make me an A5 size one. Here in the UK we do things in 'A' sizes and so many of our notebooks are in A5 that I thought it would make sense. That and I am not 100% in love with the midori size if I am perfectly honest. Any road, Neen was amazing and got back to me with lighting speed and said yes. Whooop whooop!
Now as I was ordering from all that way I figured it would make sense to order two as I knew that I would regret it if not and then have to make another purchase so I bought one for myself too. I know, I know, like I need another! lol! But seriously way too cute.
They came really quickly and I was going to film an opening but I got waaaaaay too excited and just had to wrip the packaging off so sorry about that. I did manage to take a snap of the packaging to share with you guys though because it is so pretty...
So on to the neendori's that I got. For Jon I got a flower one. I wanted to make Jon a gardening journal so I thought this was very fitting as he does like his garden. Some may think that this is really girly but let me tell you Jon isn't massively 'butch' or anything and would be very happy with this. he loves retro vintage stuff too and I just thought this would look really nice. I will share more once I have set it all up for him.
On to mine then. I kept looking and looking because I couldn't decide on which one to get, I mean all of her fabrics are just so darn adorbs! I just kept on coming back to the fabric I chose time and time again. I was avoiding it thinking am I sure about this but as it kept on drawing my eye I knew it had to be mine so make it mine I did!
Neen is able to make some customisations too so I opted to have a cute little Kawaii cloud added to the front of mine.
Neen also added a bit of bling to my elastic which I hasten to add is really sturdy. In fact the whole thing is really sturdy, fabulous quality and really well made.
Attention to detail is fabulous, I mean just look at the inside...
I am over moon with my two purchases and look forward to using them and setting them up. You can be sure that I will show more in the future! Go check out Neen, you won't be sorry!
It has been a while since I did a 'Supplier Spotlight' because I haven't been buying much of late. What with vets bills, saving for a new camera and the fact that I probably have more stationery related products than I should have it has been a bit quiet on the purchasing front!
Anyhoo I have something adorabubble to share with you today. About a month ago now I was doing the Websters Pages Color Crush Planner daily photo challeneg on instagram and one of the prompts was 'rainbow' and this is the photo that I shared...
I love Rainbow Brite and this is my original doll from when I was a child in the the 80s and the stickers were sent to me by a friend in the States. I can never use them, I just have to hoard them! Actually I am going to laminate them and make them into a page marker! So after I shared that photo someone whispered in my ear that my good friend Deb from Craftin Chaos made her a Rainbow Brite clip. How did I not know this!! Of course I had to have one didn't I, it stands to reason. Now Deb doesn't really make this to sell because as you can see it is so inticate with lots of itty bitty pieces but her arm was twisted and she made me one and I am crazy in love with her...
She even has a little rainbow to match...
If you have never checked out Deb's shop before you certainly have to because her clips are simply stunning. She has such an eye for detail and the quality is incredible. I have a few of her clips now but these two are also new additions that came with Rainbow Brite.
Isn't little Foxies glasses just simply adorbs!
And look at my Splodgey bear made into a paperclip, she can go in the FluffyFax to be with her friends forever...
Thank you Debs for another amazing package and seriously folks, go check out her store, it's a must!
I hope as you are reading this that you are not too stuffed from all your Chocolate Easter Eggies! I am actually writing this on Good Friday whilst Mr B busies himself making hot cross buns for our afternoon tea. Whilst he was busy in the kitchen I was having a bit of a planning session and creative play. I love bunnies, you probably already know that by now, it doesn't have to be Easter for me to use bunnies everywhere in everything that I do so whilst this week is bunny themed it is not neccessarily for Easter if you see what I mean. I am a bit ignorant about the rest of the World but here in the UK we have a four day bank holiday weekend so we will be chillaxing and going for nice walks (if the weather stays nice) and visiting friends.
I am still in my white Websters Pages Color Crush planner which I am loving, it goes with everything! I haven't felt that it gets dirty. I did get pen on it but a bit of spit and a vigorous rub with my thumb pretty much sorted that out lol! Next week I will be moving into my Sky Blue and I have something pretty cool to show you but it may have a bit of a 'marmite' reaction he he! Stay tuned for that.
I posted a photo on instagram of a package that I had received from Hey Charlie Shop on Etsy. It was packaged really really cutely and she had used the cutest little bunny stickers on the packaging. I fell in love with them instantly and knew that I had to salvage them and use them in something creative, so you guessed it...I carefully peeled them off and added them to my pages this week...
Products Used
Planner: Websters Pages Color Crush Planner in White with matching folio
Planner Inserts: Websters Pages week on two pages
Washi Tape: Sprinkles and polka dots from Hey Charlie Shop on Etsy, Thin pink tape is the MT brand but I can't remember where I got it from. The Stripe tape is from Websters Pages and the bow tape I received in a swap from a friend in the States so not sure where it is from.
Stickers: Hey Charlie Shop
Journal Cards: Websters Pages - These are the days collection
Paperclips: Ribbon Bow - Hey Charlie,
Sticky Notes: Target $1 spot
It is a totally explosion of pink and sickly cuteness and I love it he he!! I used a sticky note and cute it down for the space as the top of the page. I never really use this part of my pages other than for decoration and just thought this was a cute way to use the space.
I have used loads of bits from Hey Charlie this week. You should so go and check out her Etsy shop because she has such cute things!
