Stripe & Field

Just discovered Stripe and Field while reading the latest issue of Matchbook Magazine and saw a paperweight I fell in love with (yes, it IS possible to fall in love with a paperweight!).  Paper goods and paper weights, they've got great taste and style.

possibilities for 2011

I haven't taken as much opportunity to do some critical thinking about my 2011.  Oh, I've done a bit, but it's not quite done yet...hopefully I'll be able to fully envision it after the weekend.  Right now, the short strokes, without getting too much into it, are: be as bold as I was at 19, be as tenacious as I was at 22 and see possibility as clearly as I could at 23.

But wouldn't it be lovely to write down everything you want in the year on tags and turn your Christmas tree into a Possibility Tree?  It's my own take on Yoko Ono's Wish Tree.  Read more about it here.

first christmas gift idea.

I buy my Christmas gifts ridiculously early, so that I can enjoy the season without worrying about the shopping; I'm normally done by thanksgiving.  And I've found my first one!  I don't know for whom yet, but Silhouette Blue, designer of my personal stationary, has darling calendars that would delight anyone.  At $18 and 5x8 on a satin ribbon, it's perfect for anyone's kitchen or workspace.  Maybe I'll even get one for myself.
