Micah & Me {stationery}
Stationery is so very addicting isn't it? I started buying it when I was 7 years old and quickly became obsessed. On Friday after school I'd take my allowance money and blow it all on Hello Kitty and My Melody stationery and pencils that smelled delicious. Puffy stickers and erasers soon became another addiction as I grew up, and soon I was a devoted sticker and stationery collector.
I remember how having the paper wasn't enough for me, I had to share it. So I did little swaps through the mail with penpals that I found in kid's magazines (on the back pages kids would have ads there). I had penpals all over the world. I guess I've always liked to reach out to people through the written word. Another reason why I think authoring decor8 comes so easily. Years later, I'm still a stationery freak. I have a drawer of it that I regularly refresh with new papers. I love to mail and receive cards because I often think that little will be left behind to my great grandchildren of tomorrow if I don't write more with pen and paper today. With that, I introduce you to the fresh style of Micah & Me. It's Martha Stewart with a lot of Scandinavian and Japanese design influence so naturally I'm a fan. I think that you will like it too.
Do you have a favorite stationery designer? Who?

I'd say "my own" but I am biased...
http://megancreates.etsy.com
so I will go ahead and say that I really love the work in the Sweetbeets Etsy shop. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5364464
It's colorful and the compositions are so lovely. It's been my favorite find so far. (Someday when I have kids I'd love to stock up in that shop!) And it may seem less "funky" but I always love Crane's stationery. They have a lot of new designs out (engraved!) that feel so luxurious and special. They have some with a peacock feather that is just gorgeous.
Felix Doolittle - www.felixdoolittle.com - is a favorite of mine
It's an obsession we share. Recently, I'm really into making my own. My husband is a graphic designer, so I just ask him to draw it, create it, or show me how to do it. :-)
My current faves are Avie Designs {etsy shop}, Erin Condren and Elum.
i've always loved the charming handwritten cards from citywrites.com. and the owner is a delight to deal with!
binth, egg press, snow and graham, golden hen press...i can go on forever!
I can't believe I nearly missed this post! I'm also pretty obsessed and have many favourites so I will try to limit this to top 5's. My favourite stationery designers from our site are Prentiss Douthit, Kate Spade, Boatman Geller, Smudge Ink and William Arthur. My top 5 stationers that aren't a part of our site are Elum, Snow and Graham, Mr. Boddington, Avie and Letterspace.
Phew! So hard to stick to just a few; there are so many stationers to love!

I too started collecting stationery and stickers as a child. My first was a piece of Snoopy stationery given to me by a babysitter, who had been collecting since she was a kid! I loved Hello Kitty, and Holly Hobbie too.
Someone taught my best friend and I to play blackjack, and we actually used to play for our sticker and stationery pieces at the age of 10. Terrible, I know!
