Vintage idea, modern day purchase.
I’ve been lusting after this address file for over a year after deciding that I wanted to do as much away from the computer as possible which includes handwriting addresses and contact info! Now normally I would have found a vintage Rolodex to use but knowing me I would have fretted over each piece of paper since I could never get refills so I had to go new.
Lovely Design not only has the cutest blog with great design and DIY ideas but she makes these address files by hand, numbered on the bottom and uses only 100% randomly found recycled paper…. AND, you can order refills (*Phew). I’m so excited to finally own one I had to photo shoot with it, naturally!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE~ Doesn’t it just look happy?!
Artifacts of my Papa
While in Texas visiting with my Dad I went and sat at my Papa’s desk. Although he is no longer with us it doesn’t change how much we love him. My Dad kept some of the things left by my Grandfather in their place as he had them. A little stamp collection, random keys, a well of ink, old accounting papers, banking bags, business cards, the notch in the wood where his chair hit the desk time and again, a traveling type writer and rubber stamps hanging as they were. When you open one of the drawers the smell of his old pipe billows out and you feel he is still there. As a little girl I used to come in his office and sit in his lap while he worked behind this desk, I’d give anything to be able to do that again.
