Today's Macro Mondays theme is 'School Supplies' . There's no shortage of stationery in my house so rather than opt for the usual fountain pens, note pads - you name it, I thought i'd brighten up the day with some fluorescent highlight markers from Paperchase .HMM!
Nearly 4 billion trees worldwide are cut down each year for paper..
115 billion sheets of paper are used annually for personal computers..
700 pounds of paper are consumed by the average American each year..
Etc...
Eeek, I'm so excited to get my first Cavey from BlytheConUK! I have a blue on too :)
The box if from a cute cupcake mug I got from Paperchase in Oxford when I sneaked out of BlytheConUK to do a bit of non dolly shopping.
For 'MacroMondays' theme of 'Speckled'.
For this theme I found it quite difficult to find an appropriately different item to photograph. Been hunting round all week for inspiration and suddenly came across a glass paper weight with a speckling of glass bubbles. Lighting it wasn't particularly easy either and as for getting in any colour ... !
Another inspiration provided the answer
- a 'Gold Halo Luggage Tag' placed at the back and adjusted to reflect refracted light into the paper weight. The tag came from the gift wrapping section of 'Paperchase' - a shop with lots of attractive items that you wonder if anybody buys, but sort of look useful, so you do!
Tried a couple of different lenses on the camera.and the thought this Trioplan was as good as any. And then did a triple exposure!

Im so happy i got to snag me some things!!!!
I love everything!!! Especially the clasp notebooks with the zippers on the back <3
I love love loooove the lunchbox...i might have to go back to buy another ^_^
I Found this little bear on a card in PaperChase and couldn't resist him. There's something about his 'special' look that makes me wet myself whenever I see him.
He now adorns my desk, my phone and my Facebook profile.
In the past month I’ve resorted to Google for some of my images, but this one was based on one of my own photos, for a change.

Always re-arranging the toy shelves and wall of lovliness in my computer area!
Newest addition to the shelf is the 'Cloud 8' Tea for One set from Paperchase which Holly's boyfriend bought me for Christmas. It's from the same range as my iphone cover www.flickr.com/photos/hello_rach/4970543337/in/set-721576...
Oh and the little tiny crochet rabbit charm handing from the shelf with the Decole air freshner was a Christmas pressie from my next door neighbour's daughter Abi :)
Also you can see in this shot some wonderful drawings I have kept by Peggy of Lalatroop, Isi of La Boutique de Lupi and Erica Fustero
I really wanted to add all the people who are on my walls either from notes, moo cards or things they have sent me (I keep everything!) but of course not everyone allows this. Please add a note if you spot yourself somewhere on my wall!

The company went into administration on 30 January 2023 and Tesco purchased the brand and intellectual property, but not the stores, on 31 January 2023.
I don't suppose this is technically a ridge, but it is a fair representation of Ben Bodach on Skye with the smaller Ben Cailleach in the background.

Just about finished this section of my penthouse suite set - there's still a lounge area to the right under construction though.
The steps, tiki bar, display cabinet, picture frames and red sofa are all my own handmade efforts (halma pawns make great soft legs!) while the small glass-topped table started life as a picture frame from 'Paperchase'. The wonderful array of cushions come from Etsy sellers MadeInEastLondon and Smidgehouse while the armchair and partially glimpsed sofa are the work of MiniPlaces Studio
i just can't help it. and for the record... this is over time. And i'm sure most were bought on sale. I was looking for the spiral one (right pile second from the bottom) and in the process found all these. Most are blank. Some still in plastic.

There was so much to choose from but I knew I wasn't going to get to Blair Drummond or Edinburgh Zoo before the end of the month. It was when I was in Paperchase and saw these that I remembered the pencil shot she did....
The Mr Men toy looks unhappy. Paperchase is an international chain of stationery stores which was established in the United Kingdom but has since expanded into Europe, the USA and United Arab Emirates. As well as stand alone stores, in the UK there are concessions in selected Selfridges, House of Fraser and Next stores. The company went into administration on 30 January 2023 and Tesco purchased the brand and intellectual property, but not the stores, on 31 January 2023 Paperchase was founded by two art students, Judith Cash and Eddie Pond, around 1968.
These are all the awesome goodies she included in my package! I love artbox and Paperchase and she picked out the greatest and cutest items! The panda tote is adorable, and she even got me the cookie man keychain from my wishpot! YAY!
Found it kind of cool and sci-fi having blue spot lights in the Paperchase toilets.
A shame it's for drug prevention rather than style.

Her fancy wallpaper comes from the UK chain 'Paperchase' who have far too many tempting sheets of cool papers to choose from!
Holly bought me this cute new iphone case back from Wales! The donuts are tidies for my iphone speakers :) (Front here www.flickr.com/photos/hello_rach/4970631393/)
This is a section of a pad of coloured paper by Paperchase because I was in a mind of capturing stationery for my POTD .
As it happens whilst I was trying out various shots, I received a message from our 35 yr old son...... " Mam! If you were to tip boiling water on your foot and the blister was about 4 inches long and 2 inches wide and it was very painful, would you go to A&E ? " my reply was "YES!!!!!!!! Go at once !!!"
This was followed by my trying to get Huw off his own phone whilst he was checking on members of his 'flock' and who promptly rang him saying , "I will take you ! " Bear in mind though is that he lives 27 miles away in Carmarthen he got a lift there from his partner's mum instead.
I guess what I'm trying to demonstrate with this is the rich , colourful tapestry of family life.
Sid may not be real and therefore the term 'extinct' is not applicable, but he was fun to draw and who could resist that toothy grin?

It's such a well known logo, it's almost a chiché, however all is not as it seems. The battered and bruised trainer is actually one of a pair of Merrell Moabs that didn't last the pace. I'm actually beginning to think they are knock-offs. Anyway I thought I'd upgrade them to Nike ones with a little orange tick ✔︎. I never did like that 'Swoosh' name!

Picking your nose doesn't really do much harm. However, please remember:
You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friend's nose. That's a maxim I try to live by.

One of this week's themes was metal, so I thought it was a great chance to photograph this beautiful owl - a very kind Xmas present from some lovely friends. The background is paper from Paperchase and it was processed using One Willow Presets for Lightroom (I used Cotton Candy as the base and then tweaked until I was happy with it).
It's always tea time in our house.
Today: White tea with elderflower and apricot from The London Tea Company, mug from Paperchase.
My part of a quick exchange with the homie Mock TBM. Good look's my dude!

Big name brands gone out of business, empty shops ‘To Let’ after the closing down sales and young people wearing masks as they wander the streets.
Loads of bunt....Went to check out an old plot (paperchase). I'm looking in the locked cabinet when some shop bloke comes along and asks me if I would like a closer look, unlocks the cabinet and walks away!! Took as much as I could carry and did this the next day...Result..(I bet he did'nt do that again)....Thanks to SKIRE for the flic....
