Our little gem to celebrate Faber-Castell

We’re big fans of all things involving the following:

1) pencils

2) anything fancy

3) celebrations / anniversaries

4) anything old (especially if it’s fancy)

5) fancy, old, pencil anniversaries

So it shouldn’t be surprising to anyone that we’re super excited to have a Limited Edition Wood Case from the world’s oldest and largest manufacturer of wood-cased pencils, Faber-Castell. To mark their 250th anniversary (dang.) the company released only 1,761 of these sweet babies…and we’ve got one!

Come by the store and “ooh” and “ahh” at it with us. Seriously, we’ve been doing that a lot.

(oh, and learn more about our esteemed pencil pals here.)

Sam Flax shout out in the WSJ!

As part of their rundown of what makes “The New New South” so great, the Wall Street Journal tapped Sam Flax as the hot spot for paper and such. We’re flattered (but, let’s be real, not exactly shocked! Everyone knows we love paper to an almost unhealthy degree. We might need help.)

Check out the whole article here!

There’s a heap of excellent picks for things to do, see, and munch all around town.

Thanks, WSJ!
