Me & You Pencils by knotandbow on Etsy, $12

I find pencils charming and nostalgic. This summer I looked for a pencil sharpener for the first time in years.

Do you prefer pen or pencil?

Other things I love from knot and bow:

Japanese artist Akinobu Izumi crafts Tiny Worlds and bottles them for our enjoyment.

I'm loving the Southern Slang series from SlippinSouthern. North Carolina's Slippin Southern handcuts southern expressions (among other things) from plywood which they lovingly call "Southern Pine," likely with a drawl.

I really want the "hey y'all" either in barnyard red, sunflower yellow, or driftwood grey. I am a southern girl after all. I've even got the cowboy boots to prove it. One day I'll also have this sign.

Here are few other ones from Slippin Southern:

Not-so-southern:

Which would y'all get?

I've hadn't thought about this until today. You'd have 6 more hands to hold if you became an octopus.

Hands, tentacles, same difference (except for those creepy suction cups).

Holding Hands Print, Laura George on Etsy, $20.

Oh, and I love a bunch of Laura's other prints, too. I kinda want to go to Chicago to meet Laura George and make her my new best friend.

Here goes:

I bought myself this address stamp from NoteTrunk on Etsy.

I used it for my Valentines.

I am smitten.

Is there a felt baseball bat?

Made for Each Other Pillows, diffractionfiber on Etsy, $44

Okay, okay, so I would never wear these. They're still darling. I think my dual monitors might want to wear them as an homage to their forefathers.

Today was quite bad. Tomorrow will be better. I just need to be awesome.

When I Am Sad Poster, theinksociety on Etsy, $16.95

I'm glad that my Valentine and I live in the same city.

For those of you with half of your heart across borders these postcards by Rar Rar Press will pull those heartstrings closer.

You can have Rar Rar Press stamp your cities or buy a set and stamp them yourself (for really nomadic couples). They have a complete North America version in addition to the United States. Go NAFTA...or something.
