Finally! The stapler of my dreams! This is my dream stapler and I found it in good working order at the antique mall. It has a flip plate to switch between staples that press inwards and outwards. I prefer my staples to go inwards but I’m sure there’s a good case for staples that splay outwards as well. Purchased at the River Market Antique Mall for less than $20.

William Gibson loves Field Notes
I love the idea of really well-designed, well-made, preferable simple, American-made (or Canadian-made) products, particularly if they have really smartly-designed websites that are entertaining to read. So here’s your product placement for this evening: Field Notes. Has a kind of American Muji thing going on, it seems to me.
(A little shout-out to Field Notes from one of my favorite authors, William Gibson.)
While I’m on the topic of Field Notes…
