Warm temps, open windows, + bright colors. Is there anything more rejuvenating than spring? To kick the season off, I added these goods by the super talented Tokketok + One Fine Dae to my collection. If these fun notecards + summer-inspired pencils don’t cheer you up, then I don’t know what will. Seriously. (Maybe the button candy??)

I have been pining after these beautiful scissors ever since Chelsea of Frolic! included them in her Gifts Under $15 roundup during the holidays. They are made by a Chinese scissor + knife company that has been in continuous operation since 1663 (1663!). Unfortunately, they were out of stock the first time I went to buy them but I was psyched to come across them again this week. I purchased them online from Brook Farm General Store, a Brooklyn shop that has been on my must-visit-in-person list for awhile.
Happy Easter + Passover to those who are celebrating, and happy weekend to all! See you next week.

A few more finds from Manufactum in Munich, Germany… I am a big fan of chalk and white charcoal pencils, so I instantly gravitated towards these. Love the timeless packaging and bright orange + green colors. The bottom pic is not actually chalk (they are ink cartridges) but I couldn’t resist that type!

I’m back! Had a wonderful trip filled with lots of strudel (when in Austria…) and some much needed time off the radar. My fave part of traveling is seeing all the differences in everyday items (newspapers are pink! sugar packets are long + thin!) etc. I pretty much nerd out on all products and packaging. Hence, a normal candy bar looks exotic and purchase-worthy.
Thanks to a customer recommendation (Keri, you rule), I heard about the amazing Manufactum shop in Munich, Germany. It’s a giant general store filled with simple, utilitarian, well-designed goods. They carry everything from axes to wool socks to cooking supplies to linens to fresh bread + coffee. Of course, I zeroed in on the paper and office supply section. I fell in love with these KOH-I-NOOR pencils from the Czech Republic. So fun, right? I have a few more finds that I will be sharing over the next week as well. And with that… back to reality!

Recently picked up this stamp set at an antique shop in Burlington. Reminds me of visiting my dad’s office as a kid and loving all of the supplies that made things “official.” Considering my biz is an army of one, it’s gonna be fun to label stuff as CONFIDENTIAL and FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY. You know, just for the helluvit.
