gifts for me

today is dx's birthday. so, i thought i'd show off some gifts i've bought for myself recently. tee hee.

i am not at all up-to-date with the 21st century- i don't own an iphone or blackberry or anything, so i need an old-fashioned planner to keep track of my schedule. and who better to buy a planner from than portland artist jill bliss?

you like my reward for the safe return of this planner?

the pages are blank, so i fill in all of the months and dates myself- which works fine for me. pretty illustrations!

i also bought the little notebook {above left} from jill bliss and the cute business card holder from chet + dot. little happy things to go in my purse.

and i got this cute little pouch from pickle things. it's for holding my bicycle lights, since i can't seem to remember to take them off my bike. and i love this fabric!

i keep all of these items in my purse- believe it or not, it helps keep me organized. and all handmade! yay!
