Rhodia Drive published an overview of the Exacompta Basic Pocket Portfolio. It is available in two sizes, 4.75×6.25″ and 9.5″x12.5″, the smaller size is shown above, and it looks like a thin and thick version and each size is available in craft, black, red and green. These little portfolios would be great to organize paper ephemera like tickets, receipts and stamps while the larger would be great for carrying documents to and from the office.
Now if I could just locate an online retailer who was selling these, I’d be a very happy camper.

Part of my day job requires that I make an inordinate amount of salt and pepper shaker sets. I realize this sounds like a particularly odd occupation and, trust me when I say, I never expected to do anything like this as a job. So, when I stumbled across this set of pencil salt and pepper shakers, let’s just say that my two worlds collided.
I had to share. You know you want a set. I know I do.
