Art supplies are my favorite kind of candy store. This list has the pencils, sketchbooks, paints, and brushes I can’t resist. The ones that make me want to sit down and create something right away.

Best books for creatives! From inspiration to sticker these are my favorite must haves.

Halloween is my jam, but I like it spooky with a little sophistication. This list is full of the elegant, eerie pieces I love: decor, accessories, and creative finds that lean more gothic and moody than goofy. Perfect if you want your Halloween to feel stylish and a little haunted.

I’ve been keeping a planner and creative journals since 2015.

I’ve collected fountain pens for years and use them daily for journaling, sketching, and planning. This list includes the pens I actually reach for — from affordable starters to collector favorites — chosen for their reliability, design, and writing experience.

I’ve collected a lot of fountain pen inks over the years — from subtle everyday colors to rich, moody tones that make writing feel like art. This list includes the inks I actually reach for most, chosen for their color, flow, and that little spark of magic when pen meets paper.

This is my go-to collection for creative and junk journaling — all the tools and supplies I use most. From papers, glue, and washi to mini printers, scissors, and watercolors, these are the pieces that make my creative process easy and fun. Whether I’m collaging, decorating a planner, or working on a messy mixed-media page, everything I love to use is here.

Not every bag can handle the life of a journaler. I look for ones that hold notebooks, pens, and all the little extras that come with a creative routine. This list highlights my favorites — durable, stylish, and designed to carry inspiration wherever I go.

A good desk setup can make journaling and creative work feel effortless. This list includes my favorite desks and accessories pieces that keep supplies organized, add character to a workspace, and make the creative process more enjoyable.
