I love to browse around in the related stores. Whether it’s ink for my fountain pen or special notebooks — I often get things from France because there’s still a distinct culture for it there.

Here in Kassel, a traditional stationery store has been forced to close. The reason: the declining writing culture (because of SMS on mobile devices).

When I still had the leisure to send homemade greeting cards, I also made my own universal envelopes. I know what Terry Smith is talking about!

Love & Peace

Very grateful too for a place that still respects the paper diary!!!

This emporium is seemingly one-stop-shopping for everything I love. And the fact that they also offer printing services…….Crazy-good. But the best part was learning the personal back story of the owners, and their journey. The pristine orderliness of the store belies the up/down/sideways pathway that lead to this success story. And we, the fortunate readers of Spitalfields Life, get to know it ALL. I’m so grateful to begin my day with this feeling of optimism.

Sarah Ainslie’s photos are always appreciated, too!

Trouble is I probably wouldn’t have much salary left, I’d be buying everything! Have always loved stationery from being a little girl…

When I was living in Bow in the early 1970s I used to pass a wonderful stationers on the Mile End Road, and could never resist popping in. I think it was in one of the properties that were demolished to build the DLR. Sadly, I do not remember the name, but perhaps one of my fellow readers does?

Long may Newmans thrive and prosper!

I wish I had such a great stationers near where I live ( I was deeply shocked the other day to find out that the local WH Smith’s doesn’t even stock the classic UHU glue, let alone all the varieties on display at Newman’s!)

Lucky you having such a fab shop and printing facility within walking distance. Enjoy!

I’m temporarily away from London but when I move back to my home in Berhnal Green I will be resuming my popping in and stocking up. Lucky you GA – being invited to see their stockroom.
