Our love of illustrated books goes deep; we find ourselves obsessively frequenting Toronto gem Page & Panel, giddy at the prospect of a new addition to the Sanna Annukka series of fairytale books, and generally being giant kids-at-heart in all of our design pursuits.

Fresh off big love for Christian Robinson‘s take on Josephine, we bow down with a boundless admiration for illustrators and love owning their takes on the stories of others – or sometimes their own – that can truly be judged by their covers…

So of course I am happy as one of my favourite illustrators has designed yet another set of covetable and affordable products.

I have talked of Lesley Barnes before – from her work on the Belle & Sebastian video to the wrapping paper she designed that I made into a globe, her style is definitely right up my aesthetic alley.

And now I discover that she has put her creative hand to Post It Notes! Amazing.

It is just the thing that makes me ever so happy; the realisation of a basic product as art. The idea that everything, no matter how basic, can be beautiful, and there is little reason why it should not be.

So cool, right?
But now the sad part: I can not find these, or any of the rest of the collection, in the UK. They are part of the Post It Signature Series, and I can’t seem to be able to track these down… Sad.

Oh well – I will have to enjoy them from afar, and continue to covet and collect Lesley’s work where I can get it.
