etsy: my top picks for october 2011

This month’s Etsy picks are all vintage office supplies, quite possibly my very favorite things to shop for. The beginning of fall always brings out my nesting side, and while some people reupholster their chairs or shop for new bedding, I prefer to furbish my desk with new vintage finds. My already-overflowing stash of shipping labels and hang tags is getting bigger still, and if I’m not careful I’ll wake up in December and realize I suddenly own four staplers and eight pairs of scissors!

I already own a brilliant script typewriter (a seafoam and mint green Hermes 3000) but all the Hermes color combinations are so fabulous, like the gold and mint one above. It’s a good thing typewriters are expensive or else I’d be swimming in them. My most recent weakness is for vintage rotary phones — especially vibrantly-colored ones like the canary yellow above — which are arguably useless to me since I don’t even have a land line. (But oh how they make me wish I did!)

1. Vintage 1950s fiberglass desk lamp, $76.00  |  2. Hermes 3000 gold and mint green script typewriter, $365.00  |  3. Vintage shipping tags, $8.95  |  4. Vintage arrow model 210 stapler, $10.00  |  5. Vintage scissor collection, $28.00  |  6. alphabet + number rubber stamp set, $25.00  |  7. Refurbished canary yellow rotary phone, $115.00
