good looking

Love this return address label from Etsy seller Boetieque.

even in this day and age

I love a girl who writes real letters. And I love these pictures of her tools, from February's domino.

modern monogram

If I wasn't already maxed out on stationery, I would be ordering this set from Black Pearl Press. Nothing I like more than a modern monogram.

suzyjack calendar

I think I may have already reached my calendar max for the year (I've already bought this one and this one), but I love this one by SuzyJack.

russell + hazel

While passing through Minneapolis back in September, I made a little trip to the Russell + Hazel flagship store. I think you could safely call that place the Neiman Marcus of office supplies. I left with the address file I've been wanting for about a year now, and these big rubber bands to put around notebooks.

natsumi nishizumi

I have been feeling quite uninspired lately. But then, I found the lovely drawings of Natsumi Nishizumi (via Oh Joy!), and that has helped. Looks like she's putting together a nice calendar, too.

cheaper than upholstery

So now that Paper Source has opened in my neighborhood, I'm pretty sure my life will never be the same--in a good way. Since I'm currently obsessed with textiles, I'm thinking bookcovers in some of their exquisite papers might satisfy this desire (and be a tad less expensive than Les Indiennes and John Robshaw).

be still my heart

Some gorgeous monogrammed letterpress stationery I found on Etsy, from seller invited ink. Surely I can find someone to give this to for Christmas.

new calendar

In the spirit of Fall Fashion Weeks, I just bought this little calendar on Etsy. I found the cute little blog, Draw, Draw, Draw via Chelsea.

i'm sure of it

Headed out of town for a bit, be back soon! Print by Jen Renninger at Etsy.

hicks paper goods

How could you not love these invitations by Sara Hicks Malone? I found them via her great blog, Party Perfect.
P.S. Girls, I might just have to have a little holiday luncheon just so I can send that top invite.

my favorite color

Hope you have a nice long weekend! I think this picture (an old, favorite scrapbook of mine) sums up the end of summer nicely.

how to make a box

What a wonderful little idea I found on design*sponge. I had to post it, so I'd have the directions on how to make the little box, too. Perfect for all the little scraps of pretty paper I can't seem to part with.

hallelujah!

I cannot begin to put into words how excited I am that soon (coming October 2008!) Paper Source will be opening in my neighborhood. And by neighborhood, I mean within walking distance of my house! One of my first purchases may be this book covering kit. Seriously, the day I saw the sign was one of the happiest days of 2008.

record the day

I am so inspired by these collages (?) I found on the blog Record the Day. Makes me want to buy some index cards and a date stamp and go to town.

how to remember birthdays

I love this perpetual calendar from A Little Hut. You buy and download the template, print it out, then add your own favorite paper and fabric scraps to finish it. Brilliant.

simplesong

After seeing the beautiful stationery created for The Speckled Egg, I had to order something from simplesong. I chose some lovely notecards for my cousin, and they came boxed and ready to go. She even included some little treats for me! Now that, my friends, is customer service.

return to sender

Very cute custom rubber stamp design by Etsy seller sweet paperie.

dinner party ideas (1)

When I can't sleep, I work on planning a little dinner party in my head (wonder where I got that--Mom?!??!). Should I go with the Mexican fiesta theme, I think I could swing these paper lanterns as decor. Via design*sponge.

the secret

Wonder if this lovely little letterpress print could be made into wallpaper? So I can read it all day, everyday? By Etsy seller elisejoy.
