Happy Weekend

Happy Friday friends. As the first week of the new year comes to a close, I've been thinking of all the things I always say I'm going to do but never actually follow through with and one of those items on the top of the list is sending out mail. I always set the goal of sending good ol snail mail and each and every year the months go by and my stationery collection is still busting at the seems. So this year, I'm doing it. For real. As presents this past Christmas, I gifted my younger cousins with their very own pen pal sets and I'm thinking I might just join them in all the fun. These beauties from Quill and Fox would make for a fantastic gift in the mail don't you think? You know me and my love for all things terrarium and this post card set is just too fun...and they are perfect for framing!

Quick break for lists

Who doesn't love to make lists?  I know I sure do, in fact, I had so many lists going, I had to switch to a dry erase board... both for the trees sake and my own sanity.  But, this tablet from Knock knock would be perfect for those days when you just have to write it down.  There are also tablets for the market, around the house and for all those who stress while packing, a list dedicated to never forgetting the essentials.

Time to change it up

Happy Monday everyone. Thought I would start the week of with a few fun prints from Mrs. Eliot Books.  You can finds prints, wooden books, tea towels and stationery created by London artist Francesca Iannaccone.  I love her prints, they are very whimsical and fun, and of course, have tons of color.  A great way to revamp your space is to simply change your artwork and accessories.  Plus, it gives you a reason to shop!

Girl of all work

Need something to jazz up your office?  Girl of all work has a fantastic line of paper goods that will keep your cubicles colorful and schedules on time.  I really need to pick me up one of the phone books, remember those?  Every time I loose my phone I panic, the only phone number I know by heart is my husbands and Mom's cell.  And for some reason, my cousin's house.  

You can find Girl of all work online, or if you live in California, odds are you are nearby a retailer.  I'm going to have to check out Urbanic, (my favorite place for all things paper) for these little guys.

Satsuma Press & We love Liam

Now that I have stationery on the brain thanks to Unique LA, how fantastic are these letterpress cards and prints from Satsuma Press.  Owner and designer Lynn Russell has a wonderful eye for detail yet her work still has a very minimal and modern feel.  All printed by Lynn in a studio in Oregon, each design is created to bring a smile and happiness to each recipient of her goodies.

And while you are at Satsuma Press, be sure to stop by We love Liam, a blog dedicated to her son who has Spinal Muscular Atrophy.  Lynn is currently holding a fundraiser on his blog to help pay for a custom bathroom remodel for her little Liam.  And if you need yet another reason to stop by, as part of the fundraiser, each donation gets you chances to win in a major 51 vendor giveaway.
