yesterday i was making a pinboard on dawanda and came across these cute little pencil bags from moontea. i’m the sort of girl who really misses school supplies (though not school so much) and getting to buy fresh new book and pencil bags every year, so this is right up my alley. i love the tall case with the yellow print above- that’s just begging to be used as a makeup bag. click here for more information and to shop moontea’s collection.

i’ll always have a soft spot for anything coming from savannah. savannah is the first city, other than my hometown, where i really felt at home, and it’s also the city where we’ll be getting married next year. so i was happy to hear from jessica at working class studio (a program where students design work for sale) about these cute new fabric-covered storage boxes. i always need a pretty place to keep things in order so these might need to be in my tiny mini-office some day. the boxes will be available december 1st so click here to pick one up when they’re officially for sale.
