Holy Guacamole - Thank You Lovely People! 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽(from Analog Shop by Ethel & Em)

This was our fourth Stationery Fest, and our busiest since our first at Manchester Central… this was our smallest set up as well… and we will make sure we can spread out a bit more (even if it clashes with Graham’s birthday again 🫣) so you can all come say hi and have a proper mooch.

Thanks for your patience and kindness today. So many lovely faces old and new. Cathy, Edwin, Sofija, Kim, Violet, Fin, Mollie, Jack, Charlotte, Leanne… and the list goes on… just to shout out to some of our Stationery Fest regulars! To our wheelchair bound visitors, we are so glad we got to speak to you and hopefully give you the best level of service in a sometimes packed space.

We were so busy that shopping time was almost non existent. We hit up both our neighbours Jessica & Rebecca - Note & Wish , Tiff 🌿 Nature & Creativity ✨ , Fi 💜 | Personalised Planners & Pencils & Beautiful Stationery ✨ , and of course, Playful, Eco Friendly Cards, Stationery and Gifts

May have sent other half to Kayztyle in UK 其一文創．在英國 for a birthday pressie for me next month 🤭🤭🤭 No pic of that yet.

Bex and her team really hit it out of the park this year. For many of us, this is a side hustle and a passion project, and the community showed up in spades.

Thanks everyone for a fab

PS - we were so flat out I only realised now that I never got a fully dressed stand photo or one of me and Graham 🫣 Whoopsie. Thanks again folks. Time for admin then bed now!

ANALOG SHOP - Table 16 in The Auditorium

We are thrilled to be back for our fourth Stationery Fest. The Edge Wigan 26/07/26. We almost didn’t come because it’s Graham’s Birthday and he is my fiancé and unpaid labour (and he is sacrificing his birthday weekend for this - total keeper). But things changed and we decided to come - but in a smaller stand.

The site has gone live tonight (so prolly buggy - soz) you can preorder Mystery Packs here https://www.analogshop.co.uk/products/stationery-fest-2026-mystery-packs - they are all at least 50% off RRP. These are for Stationery Fest ticket holders to collect at the show on Saturday!

We will be taking cash and card. We have a curated selection of stock with us… some pictured on this post. If you want something we don’t have with us, you can order it from me on the day and we will ship orders over £40 with FREE P&P. This is usually a £50 threshold.

So it’s that time of year again when celebrates the city’s independent businesses with a number of us participating in

We have until 12 July to make some strategic shop and hospitality visits to be in with a chance for winning establishment specific prizes… or with multiple visits collected, a cash prize to reinvest in our local economy. If you call into Ethel & Em (where Analog relocated to when the costs became too much…) you can win a 1-1 learn to knit or crochet lesson. If you can already knit or crochet, you can use that session to focus on a specialist skill in either craft.

As you can tell, Ben, Em and Mel have been giving the new a go as they have been picking out some must visit shops on the list 🤩

This is just a few of our faves 🤭 If you’re local to Lancaster, where will you be shopping, eating, and drinking to collect your entries from now until 12 July 2026?

Analog restock this week! The have been so popular, all have been restocked and we may have added a few more designs 🐶

The guided journals were also topped up recently. Melanie is in her and 💯 using the planner. Travel, cocktails, cooking, books, gardening, general wellbeing - you dig it? There’s a journal (or two) for you!

restock! Still waiting on a notebook top up but most refills back in stock. Including loads of the passport sized wallets.

We are still beavering away in the background on a website, but if you’re in Lancaster, or just passing - pop into 24 New Street to see all the fab goodies we have in store 🤩

While Mel was focusing on the sale items over at - Ben is here letting you in on some of the restocks we’ve just had from and We are also watching notebooks and accessories fly out as fast as they are coming in.

Analog is not online yet - a bit fitting with this name, but if you’re further afield and any of this takes your fancy - drop us a DM and we can still do Mail Order old school style 😊

Spending my NYE belatedly getting my undated planner dated for 2026. Using date stickers and my weekly diary template for goal tracking.

From the Ethel & Em/Anslog team - we wish you all the best for a happy new year 🥳 🎈🥂

We said goodbye to 16 New street, and to a number of colleagues earlier this year. It has been tough!

Thank you to local customers who have continued to support us through Ethel & Em. For those of you further afield, we will be back online soon.

Just wanted to take a sec to wish you all the very best.

Thanks again for being an awesome community!

We have been so danged busy, and the algorithm has totally let us down so, we are posting our seasonal hours as a post not a reel this time.  Just to make sure you see them! We are updating them on Google as well. 

We will be open for most of the festive period in case you need some sexy stationery to write out those thank you notes!

With a fab selection of quirky christmas cards, stencils and  journaling tools (and  journals too) for an organised new year. 
We love a good pin badge at Analog/Ethel & Em and these  wooden ones are so crafty - like us.

inks and pens have been a really welcome addition this year - fab, fun, and functional!

And  continue to be well received by visitors to the shop - fab British design excellence in a series of pens! Affordable luxury.

Ink cartridges are a back up if you need to ink up on the go!

And then we have the iconic  notebooks and refills and the super cute  delivery box stickers to decorate them with!

Whether you are last minute gift getting, or treating yourself after the dust settles from a couple of days of Christmas and boxing day shenanigans, we are around Monday to Wednesday next Week and then back open with normal(ish) hours from the 27th!

Have a fab Christmas - maybe we’ll see you around 🤩
