Hello there, friends! How are you doing this week? Around here people seem to have spring fever, and are out in the parks and on the walking paths in full force, even in shorts and tank tops – which is pushing it a bit in my opinion! The shops and cafes have been more crowded than usual, and I suspect more than a few people have been playing hooky this week :) Well, wherever you are and whatever you are doing, I think it helps around this time of year to do a little sprucing up of your workspace. I know that when my workspace is feeling streamlined, organized and pretty, with a stack of fresh notebooks and even a small vase of flowers (I have Ranunculus on my desk right now) or a potted plant, I feel happier and more productive throughout my day. Does it work this way for you, too? I am betting it does, so let’s go shopping!
All of the file folders above, including the tulip file tote, come from Paper Source – one of my go-to sources for cute folders because they always carry such a large selection. The soft cover journals are also from Paper Source, and the spiral bound notebooks are from SusyJack. And if you are in the market for magazine files, you can’t beat the price of these Flyt magazine files from Ikea: only $2.99 for five! This would be perfect if you are the type of person (ahem, not that I would know anything about this type of person) who has collected many years worth of favorite magazines and the piles are threatening to take over your home ;)
Ready for more cuteness? Oh good…
- I love the prints on these Anna Griffin zip-top pouches from See Jane Work – perfect for organizing receipts, bills and notes.
- Yes, I have featured these red apple notes from Lemontree before, but I had to include them again because they are so sweet!
- A slick, modern acrylic address file from Russell + Hazel to keep on your desk.
- Gorgeous fabric covered boxes from Blissliving Home can hold tons of stuff.
- An old-school alphabet rolling stamp for personalizing correspondence.
- Hot pink accordion file from Paper Source.
- Transparent dot stickers from Lemontree.
- Raspberry Marc by Marc Jacobs pouch for lunch money or spare eyeliner.

After finishing up a few emails, I am taking off for the afternoon – I am planning a nice walk after lunch and then I will be sitting down to tackle the mountain of paper that seems to have sprung out of nowhere. And if I get through the entire mess, perhaps I can reward myself with a few pretty new file folders or a trip to Target to check out the Liberty of London stuff ;)
