A&D Finds: Lively and Cheery Finds at The Paper Stone and Cute Little Backpacks from Herschel Kids

Who loves paper, notebook, and stationeries?! Me! Paper makes me happy and I know a lot of my friends feel the same way too. I grew up collecting stationeries, pencils, erasers, notebooks and I still have them and kept them in my room in Laguna. It's a 90s kid thing siguro no? I remember we used to frequent Loft in Hong Kong when we were kids and would stay there for an hour just looking around. And I think I have found a similar wasteland here! 
Paper Stone sent me these super cute notebooks and stickers. Y wants them too!
A sticker album, notebook, and stockers!
Rainbows and clouds. If Paper Stone exists when I was in college, I would have this as my notebook for sure!
Macaron and alphabet stickers that can be stick on to...
this Sticky Tales sticker album! I had a few sticker albums when I was younger and this brought back so much memories! I'll give this to Y when she's a little bit older. :)
Paper Stone, originally from Singapore, is a stationery and gift item brand with original and liveliest and cheeriest designs and illustrations fit for all ages. I've never been to any Paper Stone store yet but I've been wanting to! I've only seen the store from their FB Page and OMG! I am sure I won't leave Paper Stone empty handed!
Oh those wrapping papers! Be still my heart. (Photo from Paper Stone Facebook Page)

I've promised myself I'll visit a Paper Stone store but I still can't find the time. I will really soon and hoard everything! Heehee! Why don't you check it out and tell me about it? :)

Paper Stone has branches in Glorietta, Alabang Town Center & UP Town Center! Follow and like them @thepaperstoneph!

Another cute gift we received was a pair of Herschel Supply Co. bags for the kids. BOS was a bit envy because he wants a Herschel bag for himself. He said he'll just borrow R's bag na lang heehee!
Herschel's story started in Scotland in the 1900s by a couple, Peter and Annie Cormack, who were barrel makers by trade. They immigrated to a beautiful town outside Herschel, whose population today is counted at 30 residents. Today after more than a century, the great grandchildren of Peter and Annie remain in the business of manufacturing. Instead of barrels, backpacks and bags are now created.

The backpacks have been with me for a few months now but the kids only got to use it last week during our Baguio trip. I asked them to pick which one they want para walang away (rather than me "assigning" which bag goes to who) They won't leave without them! I asked them to put whatever they want in their backpacks: toys, pens, papers, just as long as it's not heavy (because I want them to learn to carry their own bags).

Right: Survey Backpack in Red Shift/Navy Rubber

The size of the backpack is perfect for short trips to the mall and for travelling. I love the classic silhouette of the Heritage Backpack and the signature style of the Survey Backpack! Both feels sturdy and made of quality material. The kids have so much lunch boxes and mini backpacks and there's really a difference when you buy branded and non-branded ones. I really hope these Herschel bags can withstand the everyday wear and tear because I am sure small backpacks would be handy to have in your kids' closet. 
The Survey Backpack is just right for Y. Yes, they wore their backpacks while golfing. Heehee!
While the Heritage Backpack is still a little big for R, he still loved it! He was excited to bring his toy cars to Baguio!
Just "some" of the things inside R's bag: Babiators, toy cars and a windbreaker which he gets mad when he saw it inside his bag.

Maybe BOS and I should also get ourselves a Herschel bag each to match the kids noh? Now I have an idea what to give BOS on Christmas... wag lang niya to mabasa. Heehee!

Raizo Turns 1: Ant's Pocket

Ok a little history first, I met Anne last year during the World Bazaar. I was looking for suppliers for a possible business venture (which didn't happen) and I chanced upon her booth. I got her number and you can say the rest is history. We became good friends and now we join bazaars regularly as partners and also separately. She really is a heaven sent!
Ant's Pocket

I didn't want to hire a party planner or event stylist to do the venue because of budget constraints. I initially got Anne to do our giveaways, centerpieces and robot antennas.Then eventually I asked Anne if she can also do the backdrop.  

I really appreciate the time and effort they put in their work. Everything was handmade! All photos below are grabbed from their Facebook Page.

 Ang dami nila! I sent her the favor bags and stickers to pack the giveaways. Thank you so much talaga!

Anne went to Shakey's early to set up along with Chie and her kids.
Our simple handmade backdrop!
Our centerpieces! I bought the tin cans at Divisoria for Php40 each. Used Paper Chic paper straws to hold the robots and balloons from Yan-ple's Party Shop.

I had about 100 bag tags made. I gave these away to everybody and I still have some with me pa. My sisters collected them all! LOL. They were all put inside Paper Chic's favor bags and sealed with Thank You stickers from Candy Shop (blogged about it here)
Cute noh?

I also had robot antennas made. I gave one to each kid. I'm glad some of the boys were game to wear it hehe!
Around two weeks before the party, I was thinking of "making" robot costumes for Y and R. I thought kaya ko pa mag DIY. Saw these on Pinterest.
Cute diba? But I had no time to make it so I had Anne made it for me too! I showed her the photos and sabi ko siya na bahala. No measurements were taken. She had it sewn by a  modista they know. And I was happy with the outcome! And the kids are using them again for Halloween! Yay!
Whattafez ako pero I want to show you how the costume looks like! Ganda diba?

I'm really happy with Ant's Pocket! And I'm really glad I met her last year. She's really a blessing to me! Thank you Anne and Chie!!!

We'll be at the Mommy Mundo Bazaar! Visit us there! Meanwhile, check their Facebook Page and Instagram accounts!
