Oh how I love stylized and romantic adaptations of anythings. One such anythings is official looking papery and stationary and such. I’ve always had this deeply brewing obsession, but the other day that was completely set off by this (meep!) fantastic pale sagey/gray clipboard from O-Check Design. So I thought I’d share a little of my obsession with all you devotees of every day beauty.
I love the French phrase typed up at the top.
You can purchase your own HERE. Thanks to me, I think they’re sold out at Reform School , but maybe if you bug them enough they’ll order more!
I’m basically just in love with O-Check right now. I found this beautiful library pocket journal over at The Curiosity Shoppe, with no brand name, but I later scrounged it out and yes, it turns out to be O-Check.
It’s full of pockets and tidbits!
NUM!
And then I found this elegant little number from 16 Sparrows who are beyond everything.
But what is the Letter Writers Alliance you ask. It’s just the most awesome alliance this century. It’s a very official thing you know. And you can join HERE- besides the obvious honor of just being part of the L.W.A., admittance gets you very official goodies, like these:
What it comes down to is this- we need to all join the Letter Writing Alliance, send each other letters and badges and other yummy paper goods. Okay?
Besides the incredible and romantic L.W.A. stationary and goods, the brilliant 16 Sparrows also makes the famous telegraph stationary and the very delectable paddingken stationary -YUM!
Other official paperies include this journal from Laurel Denise, which is just as official looking inside as outside! I love how she uses the official-ness of the lab notebook look to incorporate soft and delicate illustrations.
And last but not least how about giving a hand to those people over at Chronicle Books, huh? On top of publishing fantastic crafty books and gorgeous kits and gift sets, they’re bringing us a little of this-
The Old School Ledger. It’s on pre-order HERE if you need it as badly as I do. The fine folks at Paper + Cup Design also gave us the almost as perfect Old School Letter Set. I only say it’s almost as perfect because it’s a bit easier to find great stationary than to find great notebooks. And anything that says Ledger on it wins hands down any day. In my book at least- woah! Ha! I’m a cornball at heart.
Well, I’ve rambled about hot paper for long enough. Now I’m off to join the L.W.A. and start writing some letters!
