The Late Afternoon

A simple box filled with trinkets and goodies is completely irresistible. I seriously love how the contents of each of these packages complement each other so well. Finding a package on my front door step is always fun (thank you online shopping!), but they have never been as well-designed as these!

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, things are about to get pink and sparkly around here! I can’t help but indulge in the love-inspired trinkets and paper goods filling store shelfs and online whenever February hits. These valentine’s cards by Banquet are exactly what I’m talking about - impeccable design in gorgeously bright pinks, reds, and raspberries. A simple heart has a way of just making me happy!

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.
