put it on paper

Gotta have these notebooks by Archie Grand on jasper + black. Obviously I have a lot to say about the celebrities I've met in my day.... Maybe more realistic is that my sentimental side can't help but to collect interesting cards and notebooks like these so that not every detail of my life is digital. For those I adore, such quirky note pads make interesting gifts. Now gossip has a home more fashionable and long lasting than the chair at your favorite hair salon.

Jasper + Black is a cool company living by Tom Peter's credo: cool clients (products in this case), cool you. This bit from their website gave me the chills (sorry, it's my business dork coming out...)

Jasper + Black is a Minneapolis-based importer and distributor of leading stationery brands, working with brand partners that are creative market leaders, not followers, with ranges differentiated by fashion, design, innovation, and product merchandising. Each brand partner benefits from efficiencies of group sales, distribution, and affiliation with other leading brands distributed by Jasper + Black while maintaining a distinctive identity within the marketplace. Our retail partners benefit from single source ordering, shipping, and invoicing of product that is trend-right, distinctive, and consumer compelling.

As a consumer, I want products from people who give a hoot about the world they inhabit. In the future, you will see more of this "partnership or creative alliances" across industries where one visionary gives light and life to another. Take a look at what The Rug Company is doing with fashion designers like Marni and Paul Smith.  Rugs have never looked so interesting. Either has stationary.
