PRELIMINARY POINTS OF ORDER, or : THE FIRST HORS D'OEUVRES OF THE BUSINESS
POINT #1 :
I am a big fan of "Back-to-School" -- a big, big fan. I mean, ok, I haven't been in school for some time, it's true -- but any excuse to load up on new office supplies is tops in my book. Today's post is dedicated to exactly that spirit!

So if you are heading back to school -- do it in style!
If not -- well... let's just use the arrival of autumn as a general reason to buy all the sweet new notebooks, stationery, and desk accessories that we've wanted for months!
POINT #2 :
I am a big fan of "handmade" -- a big big fan. I am also a big fan of small businesses, affordability, vintage, and community. So when I was trying to narrow down sources for my super stylish office supply search, a single word came to mind : POPPYTALK!
If you're not familiar with Poppytalk Handmade , it's about time you were!
With a new theme every month, Poppytalk hosts an impeccably well curated online marketplace that consistently manages to combine all of those things I'm a big, big fan of :
handmade!
small businesses!
affordability!
vintage! &most importantly:
community! (Poppytalk's blog is totally all-inclusive, they do a great job spotlighting market contributors and always post about shops/artists/etc that emphasize their ethics... as if that weren't enough, they also provide the Poppytalk Handmade Artist blog as a venue for their market contributors to promote themselves, other shops, or just share their thoughts. Rad!).
&This month, Poppytalk also includes that other thing I'm a big, big fan of : Back-to-School! Yesss!!!
This month's Poppytalk Handmade Market theme is "School Days!" and it's jam packed with everything you need (&everything you don't know you need yet!) to start the year off right!
