Desk accessories



LES ACCESSOIRES DE BUREAU



It is indeed, no doubt there, the "Holiday Season". And yet, between party planning, Christmas shopping, card sending, appointment making, (with those specialists who "should" make me look as if all of this is as easy as un, deux, trois), I do have a little work to do. And so, as I am slowly moving down my interminable to-do list, I cannot but notice the wonderful objects and the containers of myriads of smaller objects on my desk; they are indispensable to the day-to-day running of my professional occupation, there, not only to charmingly crowd my desktop, but actually, to attempt to help things move along in an efficient, organized, and consequently, much more pleasant manner. Here are a few of my favorite ones .


the modern silver: that heirloom feeling


 A 3 story silver cage for my color pencils



soft clean lines for a glass and silver Sculpture/Letter Opener; for the beauty of it only
 

My hand painted (merci Anne) teacup's saucer. a must

 pottery: when a large amount needs a home

a little "critter' crawling up the stamp bowl



Clarisse Cliff; one of her best collections

the modern and the antique: a happy family

Mid Century Danish for the sleek home office


1900's cast iron Baroque

the mid-century vintage plastic: very Madmen

40's letter opener. The Fuller Brush man





au revoir.
