Our World Map Paper is Travelling The World!

Customers from Scotland, England, and Alaska went gaga today over these vintage-looking world map papers. The Scottish customer told us he was going to place one underneath his glass table, while the English customer said he was going to frame & hang it on his wall. We didn't get a chance to ask the Alaskan customer what she would use it for :)

   

So in essence, our world map paper is travelling the world! (How we wish it could be us instead)

Ya Ya's Pick o' The Day Tue 29 Jun - Whitelines Notebook

Whitelines notebooks present a new writing paper with white lines that brings out everything you write and draw. The idea is that the lines are clearly visible without disturbing what you write, which a traditional writing paper with dark lines does.

   
Paper from Whitelines also has a toned background that makes it more pleasant for the eyes. No matter if the light is normal or bright, you don't have to put up with paper that gleams. 

Another advantage is that the lines easily dissapear when you copy, scan or fax. So whatever you write and draw becomes clearer.

Whitelines gets our pick of the day.

Ya Ya's Pick o' The Day Sun 27 Jun - Bamboo Tornado pen

True to its name, this Bamboo Tornado pen's handle is made entirely out of bamboo. Not only it looks cool, because it's made from bamboo, it is environmentally sustainable too since bamboo is a renewable resource that is both beautiful and durable. When you purchase a Bamboo Tornado pen, you are also helping the Arbor Day Foundation to help rescue 250 square feet of rain forest and the habitat it protects. This pen gets our two thumbs up!
