A paper vase? No way!

I was out shopping the other day and made a trip to my local bookstore. Like always, I headed straight for the card section for some store inspiration. However, something caught my eye along the way - a paper vase! It was beyond awesome and such a new idea for me. What can I say, I’m known for falling under a rock once in a while.

Sadly, I can’t show you the actual product as there was NO branding on it - tut tut! But, it somewhat looked like this only taller. :)

Of course, these paper home accessories are all over Etsy too. Here are some of my favorites.

Understandably, being a paper addict, I am now obsessed with these inventive creations. As one to jump in at the deep end, I had to go on a hunt to find a tutorial to make my own. Check out this tutorial from Patricia over at A Little Hut - Recycle Project No. 7 - Magazine Bowl.

Guess what I’m doing this weekend?

What a great way to use up all those magazines that are collecting dust in your home. Come on, you know you have a stack just like me. Get creative!

I'm still a huge fan of Katie Muth. Recently I got an email from Katie about her new line of desk accessories. Of course they are gorgeous. The journals are lino cut and hand printed on canvas card stock. There are currently two styles posted on Katie's site with matching pencil cups and of course cards.
