Back to School

Roundup: Pencils Ready . . . Go!

Whether you're returning to school or not this Fall, it always pays to have pencil and paper near at hand.

Whether you're returning to school or not this Fall, it always pays to have pencil and paper near at hand. Who knows when you might be struck by a flash of genius? I know that I always keep a notebook in my bag to jot down ideas about home decorating, a post for CasaSugar, or the plot for the great American novel. Whatever your writing habits may be, you can start your day's notes in style by carrying this To Do List Notebook ($6.50) from Brookline Street Studio. Inspired by the artist's collection of vintage, 1940s Dick-and-Jane flashcards, the covers are letterpress-printed with an antique, treadle-operated press using soy inks and 100 percent recycled cardstock.

Cool Idea: ROSSIN L@p Chair

While there's something charming and nostalgic about an old-school desk chair, it's about time it had a modern makeover.

While there's something charming and nostalgic about an old-school desk chair, it's about time it had a modern makeover. The ROSSIN L@p Chair (inquire for price) by German-based Design Ballendat is the second coming of the school desk chair. But, instead of a hefty compartment to store pencils and paperwork, and a writing surface, you can set your notebook computer on its curved arm and call on your hard drive for storage. I think these chairs would be ideal for Internet coffee shops, but I'd love one in my living room, too. My Macbook is practically a permanent resident on my sofa.

Etsy Find: Handmade Letterpress Notebook

Need to jot down notes in high style?

Need to jot down notes in high style? Then try out this Letterpress Birds Journal ($10) from Small Square Design. Its understated, pretty design and diminutive size make it the perfect spot for taking notes on any topic that tickles your fancy. With recycled pages, it's also a prudent eco choice for your writing habits. You can also check out Small Square Design's shop for other notebook choices. I think that these journals would make great small gifts for a bridal shower. Do you need one in your handbag?
