Can you hear a gentle thud…? It’s come to that enviable time of the year where teachers across the land spontaneously break into a Grease-style flash dance and gleefully leave the double doors swinging closed behind them as they skip into a well deserved summer sabbatical (provided they did their homework during term-time). Ah, the heady thought of adventurous days and balmy evenings spent somewhere totally new. Holidays.

And whilst the teachers amongst us are heading off, it seems the rest of the world are heading our way for the Olympics with every nation you could ever possibly want to visit camped in our very own capital. Exciting times ahead for Victoria P, Jessica and the rest of Team GB. Go, Go, GO!

Travel (and gold medals) seems to be the hot topic of the moment so we thought it prudent to point you all in the direction of our finest selection of paper travel companions. We’ve got all sorts, from the oh-so-clever K Two Travel Journals, Cavallini City Guides (a Paris one for Cavendish) and Leuchtturm1917 London Skyline Notebooks, so whether travelling to far-flung places or just to East London is on the cards, grab one of these.

We all know the work/life nirvana of balance and getting it right is the subject of much discussion. And never more so than when your work is crafted within your home environment. Creating a nice area that helps define the space as one to put pen to paper is vital to focusing the flow of energy. We’ve selected some of our favourite bits and pieces to help you do just that.

Wall Paper Cavallini and Co Wrapping Paper is not just for birthdays, or gifts for that matter. Frame these beautiful prints and hang them on the wall for some visual inspiration. We love specimen vibe of the Butterfly Print. Here

Desk Top There is nothing more lovely than a Leuchtturm1917 A4 desk notebook. Large enough for an abundance of notes, to do lists and sketches. Perfect for all your biggest creative ideas. Here.

Clip it Our mini peg-clips are handy to have around for keeping vital bits and pieces together. Claire uses hers to keep hold of receipts and Margaret usually pinches a few to seal open packets in the kitchen cupboard. Useful and quirky. Here

Message me Post-its are past it. Stickies are the thing. Take notes, jot down a phone number, leave yourself a reminder message about your diet on the biscuit tin – there are all manner of instances when you’ll need these sticky wee beasties. Here.

Stylish Storage Storage doesn’t have to be boring. Turn your filing into a floral bookshelf installation and hide away unsightly piles of papers with these Sanderson storage boxes. So chic, so organised. Here.

All available from The Paperie, with free P&P option on all UK orders over £5.00p. For more ideas, just click here.

The limited edition range of Skyline Notebooks just launched by Leuchtturm1917 celebrates London 2012 – both the Diamond Jubilee and of course the London Olympics. Leuchtturm have taken the most popular colours in their A5 and A6 notebooks and embossed the cover with a fabulous specially commissioned silver outline of iconic London landmarks including Tower Bridge, Big Ben and the London Eye. In addition to the ever-popular Black, these notebooks are available in Lime Green, Cornflower Blue and Lavender.

The pocket sized (A6 approx) notebooks have plain pages, while the larger A5 notebooks have ruled pages. The A6 notebooks are priced at £11.95p RRP and the A5 notebooks at £14.95p RRP. This is a strictly limited edition and will only be available until stocks run out.

Leuchtturm have been making quality stationery for over 90 years and the 1917 range is one of the most popular notebooks in Germany.   This fabulous notebook range is now available in the UK and at The Paperie we’re stocking more than 100 different variants. With the wide range of colours and paper styles, Leuchtturm has quickly become our best selling notebook range.

Similar in many ways to the Moleskine range of notebooks, Leuchtturm1917 notebooks come in a much wider range of colours – 11 in total –  including black, white, red, pink, blue, green, brown, tobacco, taupe – almost every colour you can think of!

The notebooks are available in a range of sizes from pocket (A6) through to A5 and a jumbo A4+ version, and they come in a choice of four paper styles – ruled, squared, dotted and plain. The markings within the notebook are suitably subtle for design or writing work and we’ve found the notebooks work excellently with most types of fountain pen.

Finally, to make organising your thoughts that little bit easier, each notebook also has an area for you to list the contents at the front and each page is individually numbered. You can even add a pen loop in one of six different colours to ensure your pen and notebook are never parted.

The Leuchtturm1917 range starts at £8.95 for the pocket notebooks and is now available for shipping worldwide – FREE UK delivery is available.
