Oooo! How did it take me so long to find Shoplet’s blog? What a great office supply blog. Definitely friends of ours!
Recharge a highlighter with the help of Noodler’s Ink and this nice little tutorial on Writer’s Bloc.

Put all those notebooks and pens you’ve been collecting to use with the Sketchnotes technique. Its sounds like some NEWFANGLED invention but its mostly a merging of doodling and note-taking to help you process and remember details of meetings, lectures or presentations.
Clickthrough to get lots of links and a video that provides an overview of the technique which does not require drawing skills.

While my skills with Nordic languages is beyond iffy, I think this is a Swedish blogger who posts often about her beautiful home. This picture is of her work table where she sews. I love the use of low-budget strand board normally used for sub-flooring but here its been stained and polyurethaned to a soft sheen and supported by industrial grade plumber’s piping. Mixed with mismatched vintage chairs and farmhouse lighting, there is an almost steampunk, mad professor quality to the space.
Analog Renaissance
Interesting round-up of all the renewed interest in analog pursuits from typewriters and film-based cameras to vinyl records and pinball. No analysis here but it is fun to see that there are lots of people who think analog options are worth learning and preserving.
This DIY pencil holder is a great way to bring a little rustic outdoors into your office or workspace. This was created with a piece of found wood, sanded and drilled across the top to hold pencils. Pretty and truly upcycled!
