Why I love vintage office supplies (and how to find them)

Evernote Camera Roll 20151026 141449

This lucite and brass sorter is one of the only things that has the honor of sitting on my desk.  I found it on etsy via Pinterest and was shocked that it hadn’t been snatched up yet!  I ordered it, then went down the rabbit hole searching etsy for “vintage office supplies.”  This is where you’re going to find scissors that you could benchpress and staplers that will likely last another century.  Tired of buying cute stuff that craps out in weeks?  Start hunting for office supplies here.

Oh, and yes, I did do a post on why I don’t approve of sorters like these, but note that I only use mine to sort blank notecards, notebooks, and my black folder of business receipts. No documents. No scraps. No clutter.
