If all the back-to-school chatter got you nostalgic for sniffing markers, you should check out Smencils. These gourmet scented pencils are made from recycled newspaper wrapped around #2 graphite and soaked in “environmentally friendly fragrance liquids.” Huff away, my pretties.
Some people shop for Christmas decorations in January… I buy outdoor furniture in late August. In San Francisco, our summer doesn’t even start until September, so I’m going to score some bamboo plates on sale and be ready to picnic all through fall.
It’s the perfect time of year for my favorite combo: sundresses and bulky sweaters. No need to hang up this little black number when the nights get cooler. Just add some boots and bundle up.
Recycle those little yellow reminders into paper cranes and little boats with Origami Sticky Notes. Then go all Blade Runner and surreptitiously drop them on your colleagues’ desks when they’re not looking. Who’s the replicant now?
For those of you looking to add a little literary flair to your living quarters, Anthropologie’s Stacked Paperback Wallpaper offers a quick fix. Added bonus: many of the well-worn titles are in French. Oh la la, aren’t you fancy?
