The Late Afternoon

These journals by Present and Correct are the perfect home for my collection of ticket stubs, postcards, travel brochures, and other scraps of paper meant to spark memories of past adventures. They remind me of a much cooler version of the scrapbook travel journal I made during a month long trip through Europe. It was so stuffed with brochures, tour stickers, and bar coasters that it barely could close flat at the end of our trip and had to be held together with a rubber band. For my next big adventure, I’ll be keeping these in mind!

The Social Stationery set by Rifle Paper Co. solidifies my already established adoration towards this paper company. The simple sketches of these fancy ladies would be a fun way to say “Hello!” or maybe “Bonjour!” The “Ciao” notecard is my very favorite!

Knot & Bow is a collection of gorgeously curated stationary and packaging products. I am loving the color card stock tags and shiny metallic stickers! In my mind, gold hearts are so much better than gold stars.

I’ve only spent a few days in Paris, but after cramming in views of the Eiffel Tower and Champs Elysee, I know its a destination that I’ll be back to one day. For now, I’m loving everything about these “Paris Life” postcards designed by Our Paper Shop. From the vintage feel of the photographs, bold type, and gorgeously styled layouts, these have me craving a day eating crepes by the Seine.

In preparation for my sister’s new year’s party, we’ve been scheming creative ways to decorate for the celebration. During a trip to Michaels, where we stocked up on anything involving tissue paper, sparkles, and glitter, we decided to create Confetti System-esque branches. After two afternoons of cutting and fluffing and twisting our tissue paper, we ended up with a dining table covered in pretty colors and a pile of garlands. I’m excited to see how our festive, draping garlands look at the party and am hoping to snag one for my apartment afterwards!! Love them!
