I am almost embarrassed about my deep love of office supplies. As long as I can remember, I have gotten excited upon walking into an office supply or stationery store, loving the smell of fresh paper, pencils, rubber stamps, and markers. I cannot really explain it, but it is just this odd sort of love that I have had since I was a child. Nowadays, I try to avoid major office chains and don't get nearly excited inside them as I used to, but I still really enjoy beautiful, quirky, and well-designed writing supplies and desktop accessories.
So yes, here are a ton of them that I have had my eye on. Perhaps someday I will have my own home office that I can fill.

I had to laugh reading that. I am a bit like that. When I was a kid I always spent my pocket money on new pens etc while my sister bought lollies. In Australia we have a lovely shop Kikki K that still sets my heart a flutter...
ReplyDeleteso many cute things. you prove that things don't have to ugly or lacking style to be office-functional. I especially like the snail tape dispenser. and the omfg totable. ~Sara
ReplyDeleteGuilt! I totally share in it- I try to keep myself away from The Office on Alberta- but it is near impossible!
ReplyDeleteI love office supplies too - I just don't like working! The OMFG totable is awesome!
ReplyDeletethis is pretty much my "dream post" - i LOVE everything on here!!! i'm hopelessly addicted and obsessed with fun/pretty office supplies and stationery. (i even bring in my own from home, to my work office, since they only use boring stuff and i like the fun things. i wonder if i could get away with using the OMFG totable...)
ReplyDeletei've had my eye on that russell + hazel bird magnet for a while now (plus about a hundred other things they offer)
I totally agree. I can't describe why I love going to Staples but I can't deny that just the thought of a visit gets me excited.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever heard of this site? http://papiervalise.com/Provisions/provisions.htm
Not too many office supplies like pens and staples are offered, but they have an excellent selection of stickers, tags and lots of vintage goodies.
I'm exactly the same! I love it all!
ReplyDeletegreat finds! and i am SO the very same way. when i was a kid i used to have my mom bring the office supply catalogues home from her office, then i'd pour through and mark everything i wanted. it was like christmas!
