Wonderfully Woody Mechanical Pencils
These lovely, hand-crafted, limited edition Macinari Japanese wooden mechanical pencils have been discontinued. Only the maple finish are still available so get them while you can. $45 (via Aha Life)
Color in the workspace
Maybe its the autumn weather but I’ve really been attracted to workspaces with more color– deeper, darker, richer colors. So many of the office spaces I find are white, white, white.
