I’m a big fan of things that are both functional and pretty. And all day long, I’m using some form technology – either my desktop, laptop or phone, but a little like having fresh flowers in the house, pretty things make the task a little more enjoyable.
One of the things I look forward to each month is updating my computer wallpaper background. There are quite a few graphic designers that offer these free for download. For the month of August, these are some of my favorites:
I also have a large flip clock screensaver on my desktop from Fliqlo that I absolutely adore! And let’s be real, the older I get, the easier the huge numbers are on the eyes.
While I rely mostly on electronic calendars (nothing can beat the shared capabilities), I still keep a paper calendar which I review every Sunday and use to plan out my week. I absolutely love the Ashley G for BlueSky line at Target right now. A few weeks ago I bought this particular planner (very reasonable at less than $10) and am digging the simple, sophisticated design. Add in some fun washi tape and stickers and it fulfills my crafty desires too!
So what about you…what are some of your favorite pretty tech things?
