Happy Friday! Today I thought I'd post some photos of office supplies. I am a total sucker for vintage office supplies. I mean, the push pins in the box above were kind of rusted into the box and pretty unusable, but I just got them anyway. For me, it's just something about the packaging, the graphics. Something about the days of old. When they didn't have fancy-schmancy computers to do their design work. They just got by with a printer and type - it's so timeless and beautiful in it's simplicity. Love the good old 'made in the usa' stuff too, don't see too much of that anymore these days ;)
Anyway. We are just flying through this month! Do you have any special plans this weekend? Nick and I are just trying to get the shop up going right now. I haven't set a date yet, I know we need to. It'll just be so official when it's set ;) but I think I need to so I will get moving with it all, I'm the type to wait until last minute because I work better under deadlines & pressure, what about you?
Thanks for your comments this week friends. It was fun reading all your guesses and choices for the guessing game yesterday. Well, hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

I love your love for vintage things. I always see it in a new light. Like office supplies? Who knew they could be so cool?!
ReplyDeleteI love vintage office supplies too!
ReplyDeleteI have a green vintage stapler and office sorting tray (inbox) but my most favorite supply is the vintage postal scale that I actually use to weigh all my packages that I ship out.
The vintage supplies are charming.
ReplyDeleteI work well under a little pressure... but not too much.
For weekend plans, I'll be visiting an art gallery. You have a good weekend too, and all the best for your plans.
those tiny scissors are so adorable!
ReplyDeletevintage office supplies! love them too! that airmail box really caught my eye.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a talent for using photography to help me view these old office supplies in a new way. I know I would have probably breezed past them in real life, but here they look so classic.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Danni!

ReplyDeleteThese are so wonderful. I am sure I will find some if I rummage through my grandpa’s stuff. I had never thought about these vintage accessories till I read your post and saw the pictures. They look super cool and sure to make a statement on any desk. I was just thinking how we don’t value stuff till someone shows us, the way you have done. Thanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteyou are so cute danni!
