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!

A&D's Minted Shopping List

Any of my friends know this about me: I love paper, cute and chic designs, and it's one of the many reasons why I started my home business, Paper Chic Studio. But one of the things that is still on my business wishlist is to do personalized party decors and printables. I still can't find the time to do it and I don't have the talent so I am really happy that there are websites that offer this kind of services and more like Minted. 
Minted is a design marketplace for independent artists and they are celebrating their 7th birthday!

Minted was founded by Mariam Naficy in 2007. Because of her travels, she has seen interesting art and design, as well as art created by her family and in 2007 she was intrigued by the idea that there was hidden creative talent around the world whose work was not accessible to consumers and that the Internet could help surface. Seven years later, Minted now has a community of independent artists and designers in 48 states and 43 countries!

I can't help but fell in love with Minted. Of course the first I checked out was the Baby & Kids section! They offer a wide variety of invitation cards, announcement cards, art & room decor and stationery & gifts. And that's just one section!

I spent one day browsing thru everything in the Baby & Kids section. There's just too many cute designs and R's birthday is about 2 months away and I've always liked to put up decors for my kids' special day! Too hard not to make a shopping list!
 First thing I checked was if they had any car theme because R just loves cars!
This is the Vintage Race Car Party Decor. Starts at $7.
 Beep Beep Party Decor starts at $7.
How cute is this backdrop? There's a lot of additional party items that you can add to complete the whole party experience!
For Achi who loves pink and princesses, this Princess Crown Party Decor reminded me of her.
More additional party items!
 This Watermelon Party Decor is just too adorbs. It's also Y's current favorite fruit!
Watermelon Table Runner. It can be personalized!

I I also need a new set of business cards. I never thought I would need one for this blog but I do! Minted also has Mommy Calling Cards which I want to get just because! It's not a thing i the Philippines but you never can tell! I want my own Mommy Calling Card. Motherhood is serious business yo! And here are my picks:
I can already see Y and R's name on those cute cards!

I also want the Journal for Kids and Stationery for Kids. The journal can be their travel diary or a journal of what they did for summer. Growing up I collected stationery and write to my  friends everyday. I want my kids to have the same experience. She can write to her friends and we can go to the post office and snail mail it! Minted can personalize your journals and stationeries!
 
For the kids's bedroom, I want a wall art for each of them representing what they are or what they want to be when they grow up or a nice quote.
Wall Art starts at $24
Heart Snapshot with 30 photos start at $29

I can't wait and start browsing photos for the Heart Snapshot photo frame and the wall art. Do you want to get Minted? Check www.minted.com for more details! Make sure to check out their Wedding and Art Marketplace too!
