When the Dog Bites

​I was going to write about my impressions of my new Mobiscribe E- ink notepad, but it really was kind of underwhelming, so I'm going to try and give it a fair shake and maybe blog about it next time.
 
I was trying to think of a subject, and a little item in my room caught my eye--my clothes pin with washi tape. It is so cute and is actually useful-the gap in the tip of the clothespin exactly hugs my phone charging cord, so I leave it clipped to the cord, and when the phone's not charging, the clothespin stops the cord from slipping away.

​That got me thinking about the little things that make life a bit more cheerful.
 
A List of My (Little)favorite Things
1. The aforementioned tiny clothespins
2. Post-It Notes and washi tape
3. Fountain Pen
4. Cup of tea with a cute mug rug
5. Portable hand lotion

​So, I already told you about the clothespins. But wait--there's more about washi tape!
 
I put washi tape and “posty” notes in the same category, they work together to organize my planner. I've had a creative block lately on using washi and postys and new ideas for my planner, but hopefully that will break up soon.

​I also like a good fountain pen. It's satisfying to write a note or letter with a fountain pen. And it's even more satisfying to write a letter while steeping a cup of tea (or coffee if you prefer) especially if you have a cute mug rug to put your cup/mug on.  I prefer a mug rug to a coaster because a mug rug gives me more room to set my spoon down. And a cute mug rag makes you smile every time you pick up or set down your mug.

​​On a completely different note, a little travel size hand lotion or a small solid lotion bar that you can take with you is so useful and can pick you up anywhere you are. It's a crappy feeling when you wash your hands in a public restroom somewhere, and they wind up feeling really dry some time afterward. It’s a nice little pick-me-up to hydrate your hands on-the-go.

​So that's my short list of "the little things." What kinds of things do you like?
 
Have a great week and spend some quiet time with your favorite thing(s) soon.
