Maybe this item is supposed to be a vase? I don't know, but I like it. I found it in a vintage shop on Etsy a long time ago, and now it holds stuff on my desk. (Full disclosure: I took out all the ugly pens to make this picture more attractive. I feel compelled to confess that.)

So pretty! Great find.
Haha! I think I would need to confess that too. I've got a stash of ugly medical prescription pens- I don't even know where this stuff comes from anymore.
This is very attractive indeed.
You "staged" it?! I knew that. It's perfect.
I am going to clean out my pencil cup now.
this is very cute - thanks for the confession... i may not have had cute pens/pencils to switch out ;)
SO perfect for you!!!
Oh thank goodness you took out the ugly pens. I was all, "Yeah, 'cause we all have one scissors and 2 pencils on our desk." Ha.
thanks for keepin' it real.
i love your disclosure! =)
very cute little gem you've got there. mine is a vintage (aka it used to be my deceased MIL's) Ball canning jar.
kinda boring but i love it!
Looks great. haha...that's funny...I like your confession.
very nice....:)

So adorable. I love that you confessed to have had funky pens in it before you took the picture! Raw realness! Love it!

ooh...I like it too! Very pretty!
Hello from Austria, I drop by now and then, but everytime it costs me hours!
One reason why I loooove it here is your confession!
Sooo many blogs with soooo many supernice photos, but hey does really really anyone live like in an interiormagazine???
Show a bit from your real life and at least I am your true follower...

I like it!
You should see some of the stuff I have picked up at local thrift stores for my office! Planning stages in the works!
Do you have any photos of your office space to share? I need inspiration. PLEASE!
I bet I have more ugly pens than you do.
And more vintage stuff. That I still use. 'Cause I'm vintage, too.
Love,
Mum
Thank you for confessing that! Sometimes I can't tell the difference between blogs and Catalog Living (http://catalogliving.net/) and that is troubling for those of us who DO have ugly pens!
so pretty- I love the smell of freshly sharpened pencils
Worth it for the beautiful photo. Love the simple shapes in the vase design too.
Lovely. I was admiring the fact that your scissors and pencils were all color coordinated and wondering why I can't manage things so nicely. Now I know the truth. But it makes a lovely photo!

I've been reading your blog for a while - but this made me come out of the woodwork. Love the full disclosure - and the chevron pencil!

:) love the confession!
Yep that's a good confession. Cause I'm staring at my messy stash of pens and crap on my desk wishing I had a nice pen, ruler and scissor scene to photograph! Not gonna happen!
I love monochrome compositions.
What a cheery little vase! And, thanks for the confession :)
I LOVE the flowers!! Its too cute!
Beautiful! great find :)
Now I need to take a picture of my neat pen, pencil and junk holder! Yours is so pretty and you really didn't have to confess!
Love the honesty too, thanks for keeping it real, ha!
I would rather use something I found while junking to use unexpectedly than buy something that was made specifically for that purpose. Those touches are what makes a home your special place. Looking at items and re-purposing them is what challenges me creatively..
It's really pretty, and everybody has a ugly pens around the house, so don't worry!
very nice! wish i could find treasures like this - guess i need to shop more
I'm discovering your blog ans I'm a fan!
What a nice color for this vase! I love it!
Lol! I have to admit that I use a pretty glass apple-green vase that I found at a thrift store - to hold my crochet hooks. It makes me happy.
Sublime. I can see why you like it!
I actually, literally drooled when I saw your vase/pen holder! (Yes, I'm embarrassed, but only slightly) It's super cute!
Oh my goodness; be sure to wipe that up.
I must say that I did notice your perfectly sharpened pencils. ;) I think almost every blogger stages their pictures to a point. I can't take fabulous pics like you do because my camera is nowhere near fabulous, but I can sure stage the heck out of them lol.

I like it too...very much!
it's very beautiful : the vase, the pencils, the picture, the light, I LOVE IT !
We all do that. Don't worry.
It's funny you confessed that. I follow many blogs that show beautiful and amazing photos like yours. And I always wonder if they are "real-life" photos, because my real like is not like that :)
