This darling little Illustrated Pencil Pin is just $5 on Etsy from a friend I know at work. I think she’s officially an honorary member of the Well-Appointed Desk for this pin alone. (via Benandi on Etsy)

I don’t know if you noticed the left-handed writer in the logo for The Well-Appointed Desk but as a left-hander with a notable “hook”, I love seeing Obama signing documents with a similar flair. Its sad to hear people giving him a hard time about it.  Obama, like myself, probably grew up being taught to place the paper at a right-leaning angle and its a hard habit to break.

I love alphabet stamps. There is just something so wonderful about being able to “typeset” someone’s name on an envelope or a gift. This wooden box of alphabet rubber stamps is the perfect start to a rubber stamp collection. $18.50 (via karaku on Etsy)

Pencil Revolution has a two-part interview (Part One and Part Two) with Aaron Draplin of Field Notes fame. Pencils play an active role in his life and creative process — and what a collection he has too! (via Pencil Revolution)
