I easily become infatuated with things. I’ll have an idea or a thought and latch on to it hard, but usually only for a moment. My obsessions are fleeting and they change constantly.
I used to be hard on myself for not being more concrete, more solid, as if changing my hobbies made me some sort of internal drifter who couldn’t stick with anything. And I suppose in actuality that argument could have some merit to it. But now I embrace my inner gypsy. It is what it is and as I approach 30 (holy cow, that makes me like, a grown up, huh?) I’ll call it growing, or learning or screw-it-i’m-just-wired-this-way. Que sera sera.

I would venture to say that 95% of my life goes on exactly as it did the day before and the day before that. So new ideas, hobbies, things to learn, things to do, they don’t make me crazy, albeit a little ADD, perhaps.
All this to say, what I’m obsessed with this week is pretty paper.
I used to sell prints on Etsy and maybe one day I’ll do it again if I have less irons in my proverbial fire. I thought for a quick moment “Ohmygosh I love this so much I could write a whole blog about it!” But quickly I dismissed that hair-brained idea. I could, however, write a blog post about it. And heck, for that matter, write about what my brain is tangled up with every week.
So, for the first installment of Obsessed, it’s my love for pretty paper.
Aren’t those gorgeous? Here’s where they’re from:
- Yay gold foil card by Emily Ley (She is the lady behind the Simplified Planner, which is awesome.)
- True Beauty print by minted.*
- Feather wall calendar by Alexa Z Design on Etsy (Printable!)
- Like A Boss print by Charm and Gumption on Etsy
- Gold Zebra print by white nest
- Mini Notecards by The TomKat Studio
- Gold Strips thank you card by Rifle Paper Co.
- She Laughs print by Naptime Diaries (I just love her stuff.)
- Sparkling Chevron notebook by Tiny Prints* (I have this and I LOVE it!)
Do you have any other shops with awesome pretty paper? I’m going to be ordering a couple of things for my new office work space soon.
