{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone! Memory associations are such a funny thing. When we went into the hospital on September 10 last year, it was still hot and humid summer outside. When we came back out five days later with our baby girl (thanks induction!), it was cool and crisp fall. I will forever associate Sophie’s birthday with the changing of the seasons. And just yesterday, the temperatures thankfully dropped from the 90s to the mid-70s in just a couple hours. Which hopefully means good weather for a certain girl’s birthday party this weekend! But in the meantime…

Pretty Paper in the Office: Binders

It’s certainly hard to resist checking out all the back to school merchandise when I’m out shopping. Some things never change, and it’s neat to see the same notebooks and erasers that once filled my desk as a child. Lucky for us, these supplies are still quite relevant in adult life. One thing that I realized I had missed are binders! For those of us that need a little extra help keeping all those papers in place, binders are here to save the day. And don’t forget how great these look lined up one-by-one. Here are a few charismatic and colourful options for your workspace! – Julie

NYNOW Summer 2013, Part 1

I’ve been up in New York for the last couple of days, traipsing around the halls of NYNOW (formerly NYIGF) – and today we’re jumping right into coverage from the show! This trade show is a big one, so (as always) there is a lot to see from the show. I thought I’d start with my very favorite of all subjects: the stationery exhibitors at NYNOW!
