One of the newest items that Sarah has added to her shop recently is totally solid. Solid gold, in fact…
I think these would make great little gifts for someone who likes to jot down ideas throughout the day or for the person who loves leaving notes around for others. Each pack includes an engraved golden pencil, gold pen, and 10 black letterpress cards. All are packed up nicely in a stamped and hand embossed glassine bag. Get yours now because they are only available for a limited time at The Small Object.

Today’s visit to Rob Ryan’s site was to check out what was new and to possibly purchase some tape {because one can never have too much tape, right?}. So I saw the section I intended to and noticed the newest one…
This fragile tape {$14.50} is much cuter than the stickers the post office would slap on the side of your parcel.

Remember when I posted about those wise guys and some other goods by Mibo Studio? Well, it’s a little late to bust these out for Easter but they surely are just right for Spring…
The Carrot Crew
The Yolk Folk
{ha! they have names: cluck gable, eggory peck and sophia le hen}
Each set is $3.90 and what’s fun is you get to print them out and make them yourself. Hello, craft time! You’ll receive the templates as a pdf file along with instructions on how to put these cuties together.

I know this is something I’ve stated before here, but I love office supplies. Love. Especially cute ones like fancy Italian staplers, notebooks, handmade scissors {bought my pair at Castle in the Air}, fountain pens, adorable paper clips, and so on. You get the point. I just know that there are so many other office supply fanatics out there, too. Maybe this EightHourDay letterpress print {$20.00} would be perfect for you…

Do you like rubber stamps? A while back I had this thing where I kept saying I would never get in to the whole rubber stamping hobby. I didn’t need to spend more money on crafty things and I just know myself. Once I find a new love, I get obsessed. This is why I try not to become too much of a collector of things. If I start, I’ll have to have it all. Can you relate? Anyway, of course it didn’t last and because I had taken up paper crafts and scrapbooking, naturally the stamps crept their way to my craft supply drawers.
But before leaving Hawaii to move to San Francisco, I had to take a good look at what I had and purged a lot of things. I knew that I wanted to donate items to a place that could really use what I had accumulated. I mean, I had spent money on these things and they were pretty new and really cute. I ended up gifting loads of paper, stamps, inks, pens, pencils, and even shelving units to a wonderful non-profit organization called Keiki Cards. Volunteers around the world would create handmade greeting cards and send them to the Keiki Cards staff who would write special messages in them to children who had life-threatening illnesses. They would add little fun things in the cards as well. What they were doing was really amazing and I am sad to learn that they have since closed due to lack of funding. I currently don’t have a large rubber stamp collection {maybe just a couple things for when I make gifts}. But each time I see something new that San Francisco husband and wife team Christine Schmidt and Evan Gross of Yellow Owl Workshop puts out, it makes me think that I’ll happily start the obsession all over again.
sets are $11.50 each
sorry if I took a little detour with this post. I really did want to talk about Keiki Cards. They were great.

For the {awesome} artist in your life…
The I Like To Draw Pencil Pack by The Small Object {$16.00} comes with two etched blue pencils and a 50-page drawing pad. The cool thing about the pad is that each of the 50 pages states an idea of things to draw at the top. Arrives packaged in a glassine bag that is embossed with the product info.

I haven’t seen an item in the Simplesong Designs shop that I wasn’t in love with. I purchased a couple sets of these during the holidays to include in gifts I had made {and kept a few for myself, of course}. These may need to be mine as well…

This morning I saw that there was a new listing at Present & Correct. So, of course, that made me happy! But what really got me excited was seeing that the listing was for these great Italian Staplers…
These bright staplers come in 6 colors and will arrive with 2,000 staples {so you’ll be set for a while on the staple front}. So, I already own an Italian stapler and love it! I confess to wanting another…despite the fact that I don’t really staple very much from home. Hey, at least I’m always prepared! If these are the same models I’m thinking of, they are sturdy, comfortable in your hand and those tiny staples can hold a lot of paper. Oh, and my stapler cost more than these {these are £11.50/ea}, so this is your chance to grab one. Make office work fun!
by the way, they look cute, right? don’t they sort of look like a smiling dog or something?

One of the {many} goals of mine that I have yet to achieve is learning to sew. Sarai Mitnick’s shop, Colette Patterns, is yet another reason why I need to learn…
Sencha: $16.00
Ceylon: $18.00
Lady Grey: $20.00
Beignet: $12.00
Eclair: $16.00
ps – reminder that the prices are for patterns. I’m so jealous of you if you can sew well.

I forgot that I had bookmarked the Project Optimism website for Mixed Plate. Shame on me. I had such a wonderful day yesterday that I thought I’d share some happy with you all. I love Reed Seifer‘s work which includes his optimism buttons that was part of his senior art thesis back in 1995 while he attended Clark University. Since that time, his designs have been included in the collections of universities, museums, and Ms. Martha Stewart. Check it out…
Jar of Optimism Buttons: $24.95:
This is for all of us tape lovers. You know who you are…
