I’m back to rapping about stationary again– but I can’t get enough. Here’s another great company that consistantly produces beautiful stuff. russell+hazel® made it’s way into my life via post-it notes, but has since moved on to many other desk/life accessories. My favorite post-it made by r+h is this guy;
It’s hard to tell from this picture, but it’s a bonafide post-it with a super sweet datebar on the side. Very useful, and intuitive. Details people, details. Their stuff is so clean it hurts. Check them out, and buy lots of their stuff. People at work will be impressed.
Lotta Jansdotter

I really love stationary. Cards, notes, paper, post-its, all of it– even if most of it goes unused and just sits on my desk. Some of my favorite as of the last year is Lotta Jansdotter. Her screen printed designs are so beautiful and organic. Her main work is in textiles– another ridiculous interest of mine. I bought her stationary set awhile back, and then was happy to find matching post-its on my recent visit to MoMA SF. Can’t wait for the new set of stationary goods to drop in the fall & for the order I just placed to arrive! I was bummed that I didn’t happen on her store while I was in SF, but I hope to be back soon. Add a tablerunner from Urchin for a table I don’t even own, and my Jansdotter collection is well underway. Check out her website here, and her blog here. She’s quite amazing.

Cityscape Greetings
March 13, 2007
For Christmas my brother gave me a super cool card of the Hong Kong skyline (to accompany his super generous gifts of course, haha). He also gave my mom the Paris skyline & my dad Tokyo. I’d never seen intricate die-cut cards like this before, so when I stumbled on the San Francisco (hopefully my future home) skyline by Ted Naos, I had to add it to the collection. I think they’re beautiful, and go very nicely on a desk or tabletop. I’m a sucker for cool stationary/cards. Check them out below. While searching for more of these cards online, I stumbled upon these- pretty funny.
