Out on one of my many thrifting/antiquing adventures, I found this minty office supply organizer. Its stamped “Japan” on the base which is a paperboard lazy susan to keep the metal from scratching your work surface. Each metal divider is neatly hinged. Quite a lovely little find.

My loss is your gain!
I recently acquired a 7-year pen. Have you heard about the 7-year pen? Our friends over at Pen Addict posted a nice review about it. The thing is… I don’t like ball-point pens at all. We just don’t click. So, my 7-year Pen can be yours. It was removed from the package long enough for me to dash off a couple strokes on paper, discover it was a ballpoint and then zip it back into the packaging. So, its as close to Mint-in-package as it could get.
Are you a skull and coffee lover? Medium tip, black ballpoint lover? If so, this could be your new favorite pen. Leave a comment here on Well-Appointed Desk (using our Disqus comment feature) and I will do a drawing on Saturday, Oct. 22, 2011 so all entries must be in by Friday @ midnight CST.
Leafcutter Designs touts itself as the World’s Smallest Post Service and will create custom tiny cards, packages and other ephemera like this miniature newspaper.
