Noteworthy Notebooks

I've been searching for a pretty and unique notebook and encountered a lot of lovely designs which I pinned to my first Pinterest board...

the one I decided on was Papaya's Ledger Love Spiral Notebook... Papaya products never fail to please.  they are always overflowing with beautiful designs... it's not just the cover that is pretty, the inside is quite special too.  and the hardcover ensures a sturdy writing surface on matter where i choose to write.

January 2012 Newsletter, Office of Historic Resources 

Sometimes the newsletter from the L.A. Office of Historic Resources can be kinda dull. Yes, even for an L.A. History lover like myself (it can be heavy on the city planning but that's all good... my girl over at ChicanaTranStilo will appreciate that aspect).  But not this month! Because I recognize the house pictured on page 4 where it's featured along with information about my beloved and historic South L.A.!

Darling thank you notes & a sweet book packaged with lovely stamps!  

2012 Stamps!

I'll admit it: I am a postal nerd.  That is why I am totally excited about the new stamps scheduled to be issued this year!  The Letter Writers Alliance had a post this week about the new stamps and rate increases.  And the USPS online store just got a renovation.  What an exciting time for a postal nerd :)

Below are my favorite designs for the new year.  I am especially excited about the Cherry Blossom design... it's so lovely! That one and the Love stamp... can't wait to get my hands on it for my Valentine's Day cards!  I'm also excited about the Great Film Directors series, particularly the Frank Capra stamp featuring a scene from my favorite movie It Happened One Night!  Oh, what a nerd am I!
