Yesterday was the tag sale at The Hive, and I must say it was quite a success. Suann and Kate decided it was time to sell all their old paper goods. As a letterpress lover and paper collector, it was a tiny piece of heaven. Needless to say, I left with a small army of paper goods in tow.
PS. Lauren O'Neill is pictured above and she has begun blogging over at Noted. It's a lovely little space and I highly recommend taking a look.
PPS. The husband is taking a half day off today. We have a meeting in Old Town, but I'm pretending we're playing hooky.
love Lauren's blog, and that tag sale looks incredible! have fun playing "hooky" with your hubs! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds simply lovely. Letterpress has always interested me, and paper goods could perhaps become a new collection. Have fun playing "hooky."
ReplyDeleteI love those kinds of days! Have fun with the Mr. :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I was in DC for that tag sale.
ReplyDeletelucky duck.
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely - I wish I lived closer! Have fun today :)
ReplyDeleteoh dear...that table looks like it is full of delight!
ReplyDeleteOh man, I'm totally the same. I love buying paper things. And it's usually cheaper than shopping for clothes so I don't feel as guilty!
ReplyDeletetotally swooning over that table full of goodies!!
ReplyDeleteand love that blog link!
oh man i wish i was there!
ReplyDeleteHA! You two are cute! Have fun playing hooky in Old Town. xo Kim
ReplyDeletei looove playing hooky! not that i've played it in awhile and i JUST started my job so that might be irresponsible, i don't know, ha!
ReplyDeletesounds like a dream. i would have loved to have been there!
ReplyDeletewould love to get me some paper goodies!
ReplyDeleteYes this really sounds like a corner in heaven! It's one of my biggest wishes to have such a place/shop in Iran full of paper goodies.
ReplyDeletelittle piece of heaven is right. we also played hooky today--felt like a mini vacation.
ReplyDeletelooks so fun and awesome!
ReplyDeletehappy weekend.
Oh, wish I could of been there! There's just not much paper to be found around here, except for plain printer paper and the likes. Speaking of which, if you don't mind me picking your brain ... you don't happen to know of anywhere I can order (online) letter stationary, that's the size of or close to the size of a standard piece of paper (8.5 x 11)? Instead of those half-size stationaries or notecard kind of stationary ... I can't help it, I write lengthy letters, and small paper means using a lot of sheets and making for an awkwardly squat, fat letter.
ReplyDeleteI've looked around, and what I've found is all either custom and/or way out of my price range, too small, or just plain paper ... and sometimes I don't wish to have to embellish it myself.
Whoa. Sorry, forgive this long comment. But as a self-professed letterpress lover and paper collector, and with good taste, I might add, thought maybe you'd have some ideas. I'm desperate! As you can tell.
Thanks for your lovely comment, by the way!
xoxo
as my nephew used to say: "lucker dog". :)
ReplyDeleteamanda! thank you for the kind shout-out :) so much fun working with you this summer—you will truly be missed.
ReplyDeleteheaven indeed! I love a paper goods sale! :)
ReplyDeleteit's kind of hard not to be happy looking at that table full of papery goodness.
