Must haves for desk/office? - Page 2

Wax Candle
Stamp to Seal Envelopes with Wax; Stamp should bear you family insignia/representation
Fountain pens; lend these out to people who quickly come by to jot something down - most people can't use them

Box of Playing Cards

A poster of Audrey Hepburn


I can't explain why for a few of these..

I have gum/breath mints in my drawer
1 legal pad
1 pen

other than that dual monitors, keyboard, mouse, phone.

This reminds me I need a coat hook.

Jac Zagoory makes some interesting pens and desk accessories. If you can't justify spending $150.00 on a stapler they show up on eBay now and again. Of course you could save your pennies and go bespoke through Swaine Adeney.

I love me some bookends.

I have elephant bookends with inlaid ivory (real ivory) and ivory tusks; my parents bought them at bazaar in Iran a long, long time ago.

Pics, please.

Tomorrow I will, I need to get these papers written...

Fair enough. Good luck.

Aw fuck it, I'm not getting anything done.

Talk about conversation starter...

Demographic saturation maps. It makes for a nice conversation piece. I can point and say "The more brown an area is, the more Mexicans. The more white it is, the more Anglos."

A few pics of talent who have done spots/ads for my company. Print ads are posted everywhere, though I have been keeping them in a folder as of late.

I got bookends, but not those. I'll take a pic soon.

If I'm hiring for a new position, I cover a section of a wall in resumes. I've always wanted an attractive work area, but I think it looks more some detective went on the deep end with a case he obsessed over. I just want at-a-glance information and references around me.
