STORESNAPS - rymans

i've always thought of ryman's the stationer as a shop to buy useful but dull stationery until this week when i spotted the new 'letters' range which has just arrived in stores. featuring a rainbow of coloured fonts its has been cleverley used on files, folders, notebooks and albums. i could'nt yet see it on the ryman website but they are in the shops now.

also spotted in ryman's was this cute bird design from tyrell katz on stationery and storage.

i also didnt realise you could get great british brands like caroline gardner and emma bridgewater in ryman.

talking of the terrific sanna annukka she has again designed several biscuit tins for marks & spencer's christmas season. there are three designs available a rectangle, a round and a square. i spotted two of them on saturday in marks & spencer at long acre in covent garden and P+P reader celine kindly sent me pictures of the third one which she had purchased last week. more packaging from sanna at M&S is expected as the christmas food arrives next month so i will keep an eye out for it.
