Spring is here, ah spring is here.

It's meant to be winter, but here in Blighty daffodils are already popping up and we may as well face the new reality - an early spring is well on its way.

We've mentioned Calepino's Augurs of Spring set before, but it deserves a second look because it's just so beautifully put together. The cover printing is a real work of art, and even the carton shouts 'artisan-made' - which is what it is, to be fair.

But a cultivated appearance wouldn't be enough to convince us stationery obsessives, would it? It's got to work, too - and it does. This is excellent paper for graphite, and it can even handle a bit of fountain pen ink too. The only downside is that there's so little stock left right now that if you like the look of this, you'd better hurry!
