I recently learned about online retailer Kaufmann Mercantile and I subsequently spent more time than I’d like to admit browsing the merchandise. If I had a bigger house, more display space, and an endless supply of money, I’d place quite the order. There are just too many beautifully designed and manufactured pieces that I’d love to own – and give away, too. Here is just some of what I have in my imaginary shopping cart.

Caran d’Ache ballpoint pen, $23.84 CAD (this is one of my favourite pens!)

Japanese drawing pads, $24.45-$36.67 CAD
