I nabbed this screenshot from the December issue of Lonny magazine. Author of Creole Thrift, Angèle Parlagne used a vintage toast rack or napkin holder to store her personal stationery. What a great way to keep those notes at the ready for a quick thank you or condolence.
An enormous frame surrounding decorative wallpaper creates a focal point and can be used as an inspiration/memo board. Glamour and drama!

Thanks to Agent Obsolete for assembling a fantastic array of vintage office supplies into one bundle on Etsy. After a heated debate with my DH over who rightfully owned the vintage battleship green tape dispenser, I went on the hunt for a replacement. Voila! Agent Obsolete not only had the exact tape dispenser I wanted but chocked the lot full of other vintage treasures: file box, pencil sharpener, binder clips and even a vintage nib holder. Score!!!
Check out some of the other items available like the xtra big, xtra little pencil set, vintage pencil lot, the modernist desk organizer by Harvey Probber or a fabulous vintage Hermes Rocket typewriter.
