I absolutely love stationery and have done since a very young age. I spent over 15 years penpalling with people all around the world and the UK, ensuring each letter was written on something a little more exciting than A4 lined paper, my favourite being Diddl, of which I still have quite the collection or anything that I could find that was pretty.
Met Rebecca, the creative driving force behind Rebecca Yates London, someone who is on a mission to brighten the world with art, stationery and homewares. Rebecca's creations are designed to be fun, colourful and positive – made to bring a splash of colour to everyday life, whether it’s the art on your wall or the notebook in your bag. The story behind the brand is as follows:
It all began in my apartment in Putney where with no training, I picked up a paintbrush and decided to have a go at abstract painting. I fell in love with the process of intuitively painting and with what I could create.
I have always been obsessed with colour and how it can change the way we feel and quickly saw from working with a number of clients how art could transform a space.
From there I was inspired to use my art to create stationery and notebooks and I am looking forward to continuing to expand my range of designs.
Now selling her designs on Etsy (here) you will find a whole host of products from Abstract Art (how beautiful is this) to planners and notebooks and I have some to share with you today.
this will be a great week - A5 weekly planner (£6.95) which I have in the colours turquoise, Hot Pink and Dreamer and are designed to bring you weekly positivity, help you reach your goals and celebrate your achievements. Within these A5 planners, there are 50 gummed sheets which are printed onto 100% recycled paper using environmentally friendly vegetable based inks, these notepads are also great for the environment.

What I love about these planners is their size! Handy to fit into my handbag, laptop bag and not taking up too much space on my desk, there is enough space to write down everything I need to do/remember to do, make telephone notes on and leave reminders to myself, something I do quite a lot of.
As well as the A5 Planners, Rebecca also gave me three A5 Recycled notebooks (£7.50) which mirror the colours and designs on the planners making them a matching set. One the front of each notebook is a motivational quote and they read:
- Girl Boss
- Don't Call it a Dream, Call it a Plan
- Don't overthink it, just start
Each of the covers is really sturdy and like the planners, each notebook is made from 100% recycled materials and is also printed using eco-friendly vegetable based inks. With 80 lined pages in each notebook, these are not only great sizes for keeping in your handbag to jot down those blog ideas whilst being on the go but they are also great for list making, note writing, letter writing and even just doodling into.
