I'm not sure if I've mentioned the specifics, but I'm going to Hong Kong and Manila for a week each. I'm so excited about the possible paper opportunities! Does anyone have any specific recommendations for things to look out for?

While searching for something completely unrelated on flickr (really, we swear we do other stuff besides look at stationery) we came across this awesome collection of Asian stationery from beketchai. We picked some of our favorites to share below, but you'll have to check it out for yourself. There are 119 photos in the whole set.
Anyone else out there have a stationery collection they'd like to share with us?

Even though it's a little sparse right now, the Love Letters flickr group looks really interesting.
"Inspired by Samara O'Shea's book, For the Love of Letters, this group celebrates the fine art of letter writing. From a fondness of stationery to the giddiness you get when you buy those fun stamps, share your passion with others."
We haven't read the book, but definitely understand the spirit of the group. Speaking of stamps, these are pretty damn cute!

This past February, we participated in Free People's Valentine's Day gift swap. Our name was drawn by Brandy, who sent us this fantastic set of postcards and gift tags. We were extra impressed by Brandy's craftiness when she told us that she had simply printed her images on card stock...more impressed, even, than we were by the fact that the skull has one, tiny gold tooth. Have you ever designed and printed your own stationery? Send us a peek here.
