I like this big wall calendar by Cavallini & Co. It feels both scientific and girly. Each month features a beautiful, brightly-colored illustration of flowers including tulips, camellias, and dahlias. The drawings were originally published in The Florist, circa 1850. $21.95, Paper Source

Check out these pretty pens and matching business card cases. They come in seven different patterns. It’s amazing how looking at these things give you the urge to network. “Here’s my card. Oh, you don’t have one? Well, let me just write down your e-mail address with this cute matching pen.” $29.00 for card cases and $62.00 for pens, See Jane Work

I like little notepads and Post-its, and I’m especially fond of this one. You can twist it here and there to distort the face. At the very least, it’s a handy outlet for your aggression while you're on hold with customer service.

$21.00, Crane & Co.

These bright metal bulletin boards with magnets can totally pep up a blah home office. The best part is that you don't have to poke holes though your papers and photos.

I don't know what's so "lucky" about them, but I am close to convincing myself that if I had a box of these pretty peacock note cards I would transform into one of those people who takes the time to send off little handwritten missives to friends and relatives. At least it's only a $12 delusion. $12, Luxe Paperie

I've kind of been obsessed with birds lately. Not the real, chirping, wake me up on a Saturday morning type. But images of birds, preferably blue birds or canaries. So I'm all about this little stamp set. Now I can put little birds and nests on everything. You've been warned.
