paper goods & little shots of gold…

i will never stop being a paper nerd. ever since i can remember, shopping for school supplies before a new school year was major event. lisa frank, trapper keeper, you name it, i had it all. so now as a grown-up, i still look for fun things to write on & take some pleasure knowing that even with all this technology nothing beats an old-fashioned hand written note. these pads from 0-check have become my new obsession for their simplicity & sheer cleverness (they all have the funniest little quotes with a touch of quirk) i can’t wait to start scribbling away…

ps…these earrings i snagged up the other day are so cool, i couldn’t resist…

cutest coffee cup ever…

okay so im usually drawn to things that have the “cute” factor. its great when i find things that i need for everyday, but that also put a smile on my face. so the other day, i headed to one of my favorite shops lundeens in culver city ( i can never go in there without buying something!) & found this little guy from the line zuny. needless to say, he’s been my coffee buddy ever since…

just a few things caught from the past week… (that clutch from anthro is soooo pretty!)

wish*list mondays…stitch of h.o.p.e.

my talented friend kristen makes these amazing little treasures for her charitable site stitch of h.o.p.e. (you purchase a handcrafted item & a portion of the proceeds goes to a charity of your liking!) she's been working away sending these packages all over the country! what a fun stocking stuffer or special gift for any occasion! like them on facebook!
