Beautiful Office Finds

Good Afternoon Everyone!

We woke up this morning to a cold and snowy day. I was so happy to see that. Mr. Shockley was not! He hates snow but lets me enjoy my moment. I was so happy to see it snow this weekend. It helps bring balance to my world. We have had very warm winters here and it always concerns me. I need things to freeze! Especially parasites! Sheesh…

Okay everyone I wanted to share some recent office items that I purchased. Do you ever look around and think, “Goodness I need to replace that stapler”. Especially since it can’t staple more than 7 pages! That is one of the problems that I have been having with my office supplies. They really don’t give us “pretty” desk items to use at my office so I made a decision recently to buy my very own beautiful items. 

I started with my crappy stapler…

So the office where I work does provide office supplies but sometimes they are not the best. I had the worst stapler. It didn’t work half of the time and I kept it for years! I recently had an epiphany and decided I am going to buy my own! So I found this gold and white one at Target a few months ago and could not be happier! I thought I should have done this sooner! 

This soon put me on the path to replacing everything in my office! This next item was my tape dispenser. 

Now the office provided me with a basic black one and even that didn’t work right! The cylinder that held the tape never stayed in place and I kept that one for years! One thing I can say about myself is that I am long-suffering. Sheesh! So I decided to replace it with this lovely one that I found on Amazon.

Next was a new pair of floral shears. Most of you know that I enjoy buying and having fresh flowers at home and at work every week. Well, I was using these basic black scissors (provided by the office) to cut my flowers and sometimes I destroyed them because they were not sharp! Enough of that! My flowers deserve the best and so do I so ordered these great floral shears from Amazon and I could not be happier! They are perfect for cutting my floral bouquets! I bought two pairs! One for home and the office. Yay!

Here is my second pair in the office and I placed them in this floral pen holder that I also found on Amazon. This holder is great for pens, makeup brushes, or maybe a small floral arrangement. You could use it for anything and it’s affordable.

Speaking of makeup brushes and this is not office-related but since I am on an organizing kick, I decided to organize my side of the vanity. I use lots of products and wanted something to organize them all. 

So I decided to give this rotating, adjustable cosmetic tray a try. Honestly, I couldn’t love it more! Oh my gosh! I have so much room and it spins! I love it! I can see all of my products and I was able to add more of my products to it. I had to keep a lot of my creams and serums in the drawer because there was not enough room for them. Now I see everything and use it. Best investment!

Okay on now to some new pens. I also wanted to replace some of my pens in the office and found these on Instagram. These pens are so stunning to me and look great on your desk. They are black ink and I do prefer blue but that is fine. They work well. She has several different kinds. Even one with a giant pearl at the top. I would also encourage you to take a look at her other close-out office items! 

At last and the best of all is my new blue and white tissue holder from Splendor in the South.  If you are interested in ordering one you must contact her via her website or Instagram. You may ask her if any of the blue and white tissue holders are available. They are $58 plus shipping. I would recommend you sending her a direct message on Instagram. It may take her a bit to get back to you but she will. 

I hope you all enjoyed my office finds for today. If you have broken office items that don’t work well get rid of them. Don’t be like me and keep them for eternity. There are so many affordable office supplies out there. There is no need to keep broken items on your desk. Make it beautiful!
