office supply fave // embroidery scissors
Another favorite unconventional office supply? Embroidery scissors. I got this particular pair at the premiere of Handmade Nation a couple of years ago. I use them all the time. They are nice + sharp and perfect for cutting washi tape, ribbon + twine.
office supply fave // pinking shears
I love office supplies. From different types of pens to colorful tape and everything in between. I especially love unconventional office supplies. So, I thought I’d share with you some of my unconventional favorites and how + why I like to use them.
Like my pinking shears. Lately, I’ve been getting lots of use of out of them. Originally intended for cutting fabric to reduce fraying, these specialty scissors create a nice zig zag pattern. I use them to dress up tags, envelopes and washi tape. I recently used them to cut down extra long glassine bags. They can be used on all sorts of things, and I often reach for them instead of standard scissors. I love the extra oomph they give to straight edges.

Around the studio today – tiny packages for a little secret mailing that went out this morning, plus my favorite striped tape.
chandler & price
How was your weekend? Ours was super busy. We printed, brought Em to a pumpkin patch and took a road trip to pick up that Chandler & Price press. The move went so smoothly. Best case senario really. And I’m so relieved. The press is now residing in our garage waiting to be cleaned up + painted. Again, we have quite the press restoration project on our hands!
