Win a happy post day

It's back, hooray! Yes indeedy, today you can improve your letterbox karma by winning a happy post day from the green gables. Wouldn't it be so much nicer if instead of just bills and menus plopping through your door you had a bundle of lovely stationery land on the mat too? 

All you need to do is leave a comment here or on my facebook page and I'll pick a winner at random after about 8pm GMT tonight. 

And if you'd like a regular dose of happy post check out the green gables' stationery club subscription…!

Postcards to spread a smile

 

So, as you may have guessed from a couple of little peeks I've shown you, I have some lovely, shiny new stationery to share with you! First up is a set of 12 new hand lettered postcards, each features one cheerful word designed to make you smile and share some joy at the same time. 

Each postcard is printed on lovely thick, matt, recycled card, is blank on the reverse for your message and comes with a recycled brown kraft envelope. You can choose from two different sets of six postcards or all 12 for maximum happy posting!  

Jot down a quick message on the back of a postcard to give a friend a happy post day or display them dotted around your house to give yourself a little lift every time you spot one.  

What's your favourite postcard? I'm torn between ahoy and bravo, but then I also like peachy and happy… I can't choose! You can find them at thegreengables.co.uk. I'd love to know what you think :)

My week

My goodness, what a busy week it's been! This time last week I was starting my second day at Pulse trade show in London. Since then the trade show ended the following day, I was reunited with my beloved dog, enjoyed a few treats and walks in our beautiful countryside and have started on packing up orders I took at the show, some are already waiting for the courier to collect, phew! 

Thank you to everyone who popped by my stand – new and current stockists, bloggers, tweeters, fellow Noths folk – and special thanks go to the splendid Katie of What Katie did next who helped out on my stand for a couple of the days, she's such a charmer!

Hope you all had good weeks and are looking forward to an even better one this week.

the green gables' paper goodness at Pulse

As I mentioned in my last post, soon I will be exhibiting at Pulse trade show at Earl's Court in London. The show runs from Sunday 12 to Tuesday 14 May and I will launching a few new pieces of the green gables' stationery on stand F50A. It's a great chance to catch up with other small business owners and current stockists, and of course I'm hoping some new retailers will like the look of my eco-friendly paper goodness and want to stock it in their shops too!

Here's a wee peek at the new stationery I'm taking to Pulse, anything that isn't on my website yet will be very soon…

And lots more!

So, if you're visiting Pulse do pop by the green gables' stand F50A and say hi, it will be lovely to see you!

(Due to a family event as well as the trade show I will be out of the studio from Thursday 9 May until Tuesday 14 May so all orders will be dispatched from Wednesday 15 May, thanks for your patience, I really appreciate it!)

Who wants a happy post day?

Who wants to win a happy post day?! As usual, all you need to do is leave a comment on this post, or on the Facebook page post, and I will choose a winner at random after 8pm GMT tonight. The lucky duck can then look forward to a wee bundle of the green gables' papery goodness planding on their doormat very soon. Don't forget to check back to see if you've won some good letterbox karma.

Letterbox karma won't be here next week as I have my brother's wedding and Pulse trade show taking me away from the studio but it will return very soon.
