A mix of vintage woods and pops of bright red. If you just need a place to plop your laptop, this is just about all the modern workspace needs.

Che-Wei Wang and Taylor Levy of CW&T love the Pilot Hi-Tec C pens almost as much as I do but they went the extra step and drew up plans and prototypes for stainless steel housing and sleeve. The sleeve doubles as a ruler with metric and imperial measurements on it. Right now, the team has received lots of funding through the Kickstarter program so let’s hope that this amazing unit will be available soon! (via Pen Type-A Kickstarter)
I love the laptop stand that makes it look like its hovering above the desk.

Found on a recent thrift outing, these two unused pocket notebooks. Stitch bound and filled with lightly lined paper. One had written on the over a name and the word “Private” in pencil. I tried to photograph it clearly but it was as hard to read as it is in person.
The Dymo Tapewriter 1054
This vintage Dymo was found at the White Cloud Flea Market, still in the box!
Made of heavy industrial beige metal it is a behemoth of a Dymo.
Despite its weight and size, it is one of the easiest Dymos I’ve ever used. The clamp action is smooth and even and it presses the letters with very little effort. I am floored at what a fabulously functional artifact this is. If you ever spy one at a yard sale, I recommend you grab it!
Still available is the Dymo 1011 which is a heavy duty “professional” tapewriter marketing to outdoor and forestry usage. It seems that these large heavyweight Dymos can use Aluminum Non-Adhesive and Stainless Steel Metal Embossing Tapes
. I am definitely going to try out some of the metal tapes and see if they work in my older industrial tapewriters.

Well, due to faulty poll software and mixed interest, the votes for my new email address were fairly lukewarm. I did have several people tell me via email, voice and comment that they were amused with chair@… and there were several votes for both girltuesday@… (a play off of my frequently used, homage-to-Jasper-Fforde, internet nom de plume, Tuesday Next) as well as headhoncho@…. , just because its silly.
So….
I’ve decided to use them all. Feel free to email me with comments, questions or suggestions!
Drawn to the Table is a wooden table top that encourages families to communicate with each other in a physical and personal manner during meal times. Simply by dipping their finger, fork, chopstick or spoon into the digital ink on the table members of the family can use Drawn as a blank canvas as well as a message board. By connecting all of the screen-based electronics in the home, Drawn also transfers whatever is doodled, pressed or written onto it’s surface directly to the personal devices of members of the family who are absent from the dinner table.
