More tortoise...




I WILL be ordering a demitasse spoon or two next week once I have a new shipping address. Speaking of a new address, I need to order new address labels. For our current home we have a stamper: 



I love the stamper- cute and convenient. Any other ideas for address labels??? Oh, and I need to send out our "we've moved" announcement. If you have any suggestions, please send them my way!!

The Most Stylish Work Accessory I've Ever Seen

It's Friday!! I need to pause for a moment and let you all know how proud I am of myself that I survived my first official week of my new job and managed to have a blog post everyday (did I mention I've been out of town all week to complicate matters)! I've learned a TON this week, and I've determined the most important (at least to all of you) is the work accessory that everyone seems to be carrying around in my office. 

Look through these photos and then take one guess as to why I'm completely and totally obsessed (as in it's difficult for me to focus in meetings when someone has one):











Ok, if you don't read my blog usually, I'll break it down for you: TORTOISE SHELL!!! Plus, I can customize my LEVENGER notebook with different kinds of pages, folders, sheet protectors, and remove sheets or add them back in whenever I want. The "disks" (or binding for the notebook), as well as the notebook cover, are also customizable.  I also am completely aligned to Levenger's ideals: keeping the art of handwriting alive in a world that has become extremely digitally/electronically focused. 
What do you think? They're not cheap, but I'm going to do some investigating and figure out how to get one of these babies ASAP!!!

Tortoise Decor (and a Shameless Plug)

I've long loved incorporating tortoise accessories into my wardrobe, whether in the form of jewelry, shoes, or sunglasses. More recently, I've started to incorporate tortoise into our home. These images helped to persuade me:
