Dozi Blog Giveaway!!

Recently had the opportunity to review a product (see the darling hedgehog above) and give away one to one of my lucky readers as well!! How awesome is that?! This little guy will bring instant cheer to any dreary desk, happily holding your paperclips OR perch him along side your sewing machine to pin down those persnickety needles and safety pins! I haven't quite decided where my little guy is going to reside quite yet. He (yup its a he) camped out on my desk yesterday holding my stock of hardly used paper clips but I am going to see if I could put him to better use holding my safety pins at home. Currently they are in a bowl that I keep knocking over and spilling hundreds of pins all over the floor. (which I've done like three times now - arg!!)

Now on to how to score your own Alessi Paperclip Holder!!

Now Panic & Freak Out Mug

More Keep Calm paraphernalia available at Pedlars! Loving this mug!

Dandy Dandelion Design

Sorry for the lag of posts - been busy with a fabulous freelance project for an amazing photographer I know - will post more about that later! :)

Now on to a little inspiration for the office. I'm loving this cheerful yellow dandelion design from Galison - the perfect thing to cheer things up a bit. You can purchase all sorts of products in this lovely pattern including this file tote, a memo box and a journal.

Check it out at Galion!

Wire Basket Love

I love, love, LOVE little wire baskets like this one from Cox & Cox! There's one at the antique store I frequent that I have my eye one - thought it's bigger and $25. This one is perfect for catching that daily onslaught of mail that you can't get to until later in the week and is only $15 - even has a cute little "mail" label.

Work Hard & Be Nice

If only this were our true office mantra... from Pedlars.

All I Want For Christmas!

Ok, so this super awesome "Chuckles" calender from Dooce isn't ALL that I want for Christmas....but I would be super happy if I did get it!! :) Hint, hint for those readers who also happen to be my Christmas list buyers. :)

Simple Pen Gift Idea!

An amazingly simple (and great!) gift idea from One Pearl Button for those stockings that need stuffed! I would get the black pens though - just so the caps and end pieces don't clash with the designs.

Thanks Craftzine - finding inspirational stuff as always!

Revving Up for 09!

GORGEOUS calendars from SusyJack. Need I say more?!

Lovely Things Make Me Happy

Marvelous stuff from Studio Violet.

Mobiles for Grown Ups at Spin Designs

LOVING these mobiles for grownups, from Etsy seller Spin Designs. What I wouldn't do to have this one hanging in my office. I have the perfect corner for it in the little alcove in front of my desk.

Special thanks to the wonderful blogger from More Ways to Waste Time for sharing this great Esty find with her readers!

Pantone Mugs from Pedlars

Here at the office we have a cupboard full of at least 50 different mugs - each with a motif more hideous than the first. I have my favorites - one I brought in myself - but if I had THESE Pantone Mugs from Pedlars - oh, I would just be peachy! They would look so much better sitting on my desk steaming with my daily intake of tea than the corporate mugs I am forced to stare at now. And at $5 - I could buy a few!

Mod Teardrop Lamp from Vitamin D(esign)

Too bad this Mod Teardrop Lamp is $340 or it would be residing on my desk right now! Vitamin D(esign) has all sorts of drool-worthy home decor items. If only money weren't an issue! Anyone know of any good look-alikes?!

Pulp Bulletin Board

Another sale item at Silver in the City - I love that place! This fabulous square bulletin board is not only a beaut but it is green to boot! Made of recycled paper! On sale for $18.75!

Wallflowers Wall Decor

Dreamy wallflowers wall decor on sale at Silver in the City! Oh, the possibilities!

Designer Fabric Memo Boards

Absolutely gorgeous designer fabric memo boards from Pulp Design. I have been wanting to make my own, but I may just have to break down and buy these - especially at only $38 a pop!

Thanks to the wonderful bloggerLayers of Meaning for sharing this great find!

Day of the Week Clips from See Jane Work

Contemporary and cool but with a simple, playful appeal, paper goods and desk accessories from the Susy Jack Collection will brighten your desk, counter, or craft table.

Like those cute Days of the Week undies you had when you were a kid, but infinitely more practical, this set of handmade clips is great for getting your paperwork in order, assigning chores to kids, or keeping track of daily tasks.

From one of my favorite office supply stores - See Jane Work.

Nifty Notice Board

Pretty sure I figure out a way to make these great Unstashed Notice Boards somehow on my own for $118 - just need to scrounge up some round plexiglass pieces and cool colored rubber bands. But very cool nonetheless - now I need to make a call to Fast Signs - I am pretty sure they deal with plexiglass. :)

Thanks to Mighty Haus for the fab find!
