Hey There, Wait a Minute Mr. Postman!

Rifle Paper Co.

I'm heading out for the weekend, and since I've spent a lot of time this weekend checking out holiday cards, I thought I'd do a round-up of what I consider the hits of 2012.  I think these are all pretty self-explanatory, so I'll just leave things at that.  Enjoy!

For the Love of Writing

Woodgrain Eco Sketch Book- Poketo

Today I'm working hard on a screenplay that I recently began.  I'm meeting up with my former screenwriting instructor in a little while to go over some of my ideas and my progress, so I have to buckle down and focus so that I'm prepared.  However, my writing inspired me to share with you some of favorite writing notebooks.  If it's not already obvious how much I love journals, I think this will give you an idea of how much time I spend thinking about them!

Woodgrain Eco Sketch book- Poketo

Poketo is one of my favorite sources for awesome paper products, and most especially, notebooks.  I absolutely love, love love the Woodgrain Eco Sketch book (top two photos).  I've been ogling it for months!  I love that feeling of looking at a blank page and having an open canvas to pour your thoughts on. Plus, that woodgrain cover is so beautiful.


Lines Notebooks from Poketo

Sometimes I do enjoy the idea of compartmentalizing my scatterbrained thoughts, which is why I find myself coveting Poketo's Lines Notebooks. You can still write as the ideas come, but you can harness them a bit by keeping them in different areas on the page.  I also recommend this Multi-Notebook from Rezon. I use it quite a bit on days where I want to tackle to-do lists while I jot down grocery notes, and all the while entertain my creative bursts. With this notebook you can do it all on just one page!

Grid paper is another favorite medium. I think it's really the best when you either need to make precise drawings, or take very organized notes. Back in school I found it so much easier to read my notes and keep them organized when I used grid paper. Poketo's Eco A5 Notebook is a lovely, little, slim grid journal that you can tote anywhere. Currently, I'm using a Dia Grid Notebook that my sister bought me on trip upstate to the Dia Beacon. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a link to it in their bookshop, but basically it's a larger, thicker version of the A5.

A beautiful cover will always steal away my heart. Here are some more favorites in that category. You'll see a lot of Rifle Paper Co because I really admire how wonderfully they use color.  They truly have some of the best stationary and paper products out there and their journals are no exception.  I actually just bought a little bundle of gorgeous ones the other day.  Can't wait to start using them.

Happy Valentine's Day!: Hope For Women

I received the most beautiful Valentine's card from my mom this morning!  She sent me the gorgeous, handmade, pressed flower card which you see above.  It was made by Hope For Women, a Fair Trade Federation business that provides sustainable employment to economically disadvantaged, women artisans worldwide. This card in particular is from the Portraits of El Salvador collection which features the work of outstanding, female artists from the highlands of El Salvador.
Each card depicts the empowering portrait of a beautiful woman with a sensational hairstyle created from dried leaves and flower petals. Not only are each of these phenomenal cards framable pieces of art, they are also wonderful ways to contribute to talented women across the globe who are working hard to support their families and communities. The way I see it, there's no better way to celebrate an awesome woman in your life than with a conscientious purchase. I am certainly smiling ear to ear. Check out the website and you might find the perfect gift for that special someone. May there be Hope For Women year round! Happy Valentine's Day all!
