Lack of posting has been down to a break in college, an extreme amount of procrastination on my part and then a hurried rush to get all my homework done before I get a beating from my lecturers. And what better way to get all that homework done than to surf the net for cute stationery products a la Little Otsu? Okay, so I might get no work done but at least I will have a handy stockpile of planners, journals and notebooks to do the work in when (if?) I eventually get around to it. Little Otsu is really, really cute. I mean, all little recycled , comic character designed, trees-and-birds motifs cute. Some of my favourite items in the shop include the Tour Diary by Allison Cole, a journal with handy week-planners, journal and scrapbook space and lists of time differences. It may be “necessary” for this summer’s planned trip to Paris for my birthday with The Boyfriend. 
However, my number one favourite item in the whole store has to be the Non-Planner Datebook by Keri Smith (pictured) 
which I absolutely must, must, must have in all it’s cool doodly glory. It’s sprawling and artistic in a way that I am not and is definitely a fabulous, unstructured and guilt free (recycled paper, soy-based inks) alternative to your basic page-a-day diary. Little Otsu comes highly recommended from a stationery freak such as myself. Oh, and they ship to US, Canada and foreign countries like the UK, much to my delight. Yay!
