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…

journals pretty enough to frame…

i recently stumbled upon the website notemaker /field notes blog & was completely smitten by the array of journals & fine paper goods. (moleskin, o-check, rhodia, just to name a few!) i love buying journals & feel i can never have too many! it’s always great to carry them around for a quick reminder or doodle because sometimes nothing compares to good ‘ol paper. i had to share these beautiful photo collages of journals. gingerly placed & color coordinated almost pretty enough to frame.
