Ever since I started crafting I haven't really shopped at a huge amount of places. Personally for me and what my style is I couldn't walk into a shop and come out with a lot of items because I found it difficult to find the things I want. Not that I won't continue to shop in them!
I started trying to find some online crafting suppliers to see if there was any that stood out to me and that I could find the products that I really wanted. I love anything planner, scrapbooking or journalling related so I really wanted to get some cute paper, washi tapes and any other stationary I could get my hands on.
By luck - completely and utterly amazing luck - I came across a site called Hey Little Magpie. I will say now that I can't help at time judge a website by how it looks and how easy it is to use before I even look at the products - anyone else do that? I have to say this website was extremely easy to use and I thought the graphics were cute.
After looking on the website for a bit I found a particular product that I have been wanting to get my hands on for ages and I hadn't found a UK supplier for it! Stay until the end of this post to find out what it is. This sparked this whole haul but even if I wouldn't have found it I still would have purchased everything else.
I checked out shipping prices and it was very reasonably priced so I splurged a bit. I decided to spend over the £50 mark as I got free shipping. They do ship internationally - you can find prices on the site. I ordered mine on Friday 7th August at nearly 4PM and it arrived on Tuesday 11th August before 10AM.
Disclaimer: everything in this haul was purchased by me with my own money, nobody asked me to shop there or asked me to do this post. I was very impressed with the shop as a whole and I definitely feel other people will love it!

Enough rambling! If you want to find out what I got then just keep reading. I will link everything below so you can find them on the website.
The first thing I picked up was some 12" x 12" papers. The first two are by My Minds Eye. One is a mint colour with gold dots and the other is white with gold dots. The white one has dots in random places.
One of the other side of these paper there is a mint green scheme on both, one with white stripes and the other is ombre
Both of these were priced at £1.19. You can find the white one here and the green one here. I love them and think they are absolutely beautiful!
The next two paper as by Crate Paper. As you can see I am completely drawn to anything with gold accents. One paper is a mirrored striped gold glitter and different shades of pinks strips and the other is a dusty pink with gold dots - random dots like the white one above
The opposite of theses one are very grey/neutral. One has a map like pattern and the other is more floral.
The paper with the gold glitter was £1.49 and you can find that here. The other paper was £1.99 and you can find that here.
The next paper I think is just gorgeous! It's a pink bokeh effect. I love anything with bokeh on it and the fact that it's pink makes it even better.
The other side is a mint green with a floral like pattern on it. It looks like its glitter but it's just part of the paper. I love both sides of this paper.
You can pick this up for on 89p and its right here. It's out of stock at the moment but hopefully will be back soon. I definitely want to pick up a few more of these!
The last two are both by Pebbles. I thought they looked nice online but in person they are amazing. The pink honeycomb one looks like the light is creating the ombre effect but that just how it is! And the other is a page you can cut up to make your own journalling cards. The gold foiling on these are just my thing!
I forgot to take a picture of these back of these but the one of the right has a pink and white stripped pattern on the back. The other paper is blank on the back.
You can pick up the journalling card paper here for £1.99 and the pink honeycomb pattern here for just 89p.
I also picked up quite a few different washi tapes whilst shopping online! There were so many more that caught my eye but I managed to narrow it down to five different ones and a set. I also picked up two of one of them to give it to my mum - the black one with flowers.
I love them and they are so different to what I already have in my collection
The first one with the double arrows was £2.39 and you can find that here
The next one with the triangles was also £2.39 and you can find that here
The first big one - coral with gold hearts - was £1.99 - I couldn't find this one online!
The black one with flowers was also £1.99 and you can find that here
Finally the white with gold dots was also £1.99 and you can find that here
I then picked up a set of thin pastel washi for only £3.99 for ten of them! They also had a bright and neon set which I will defiantly pick up next time. You can find the pastel ones here.
Finally the reason I came across these amazing site was because they actually stock the MAMBI Happy Planner! I have seen this planner all over the internet and being a planner girl I was really intrigued by it. Unfortauntely ordering it form the MAMBI for me wasn't an option as although the planner itself is very inexpensive the shipping was around twice as much the planner.
I couldn't believe I found it on this site for only £24.99! I had to pick it up. If you want a more in-depth review on it and what I'll be using it for then let me know in the comment below and I can definitely do that for you.
As you can see it has a similar layout to the Erin Condren
You can find this planner here. This particular style is currently out of stock but they do have another one in stock at the moment!
As you can probably tell I am extremely impressed with this shop and I intended to shop their again in the very near future. I've also mentioned it to my mum, Susan, who will more than likely be shopping their soon. I have my eye out on some more washi, paper and die cut packs that are absolutely beautiful!
