As Polly R has mentioned in a previous post, I am spending this summer working as an au pair/nanny in Geneva looking after two little girls aged 5 and 7. On my day off this week, I took a tour of the old town (and managed to forget my camera, so I will have to take some pretty pictures the next time I'm there) and also did a little bit of shopping.
The view of Lac Leman and some of Geneva from the Big Wheel - like the London Eye
I was in Manor - the main department store of Geneva - when I found myself drawn to the stationary floor. There were so many pretty colours (again, I'll save a nice picture for another post - sorry!) and I really am a sucker for lovely stationary!
I saw the most beautiful stand, full of absolutely gorgeous stationary: notebooks, folders, diaries, pencil cases, wrapping paper, the whole shebang. I fell in love with it all and I had to stop myself from buying the whole lot.
The company who designed this beautiful stationary collection is called Pip Studio. When I got back to the house, I decided to do a bit of research on this company. I found that they do gorgeous bedlinen (but unfortunately I cant find anywhere in England that sells it), wallpaper, home furnishings and kitchenware.
I also found that decor8 has already done a really lovely post about this really lovely brand. You can check that out
here, where you can also find more gorgeous pictures.
These are my purchases: two rolls of wrapping paper and two notebooks.
The items were extra specially good for me because a lot of them feature the letter P and luckily for me my name begins with P!
Anyway, just thought I'd let you all know about Pip Studio and I hope they start selling it in London as I've never seen it anywhere :(
