What's on my desk?

Since I started working from home to help manage online sales for Trellis, I’ve grown very accustomed to having certain items on my desk at all times. This post is exactly what it sounds like- a photo/list series of the stuff that’s on my desk!

The Necessities

The basic things I rely on.

  • Full Apple keyboard- I enjoy low profile keys. (Do you like my SPACE-bar sticker??)

  • Apple trackpad

  • Over-ear B&O headphones- amazing sound quality, over-ear design helps not bother my spouse who shares this office. Bandana wrapped around the top because I have a tiny head and it helps keep the ear cups at the right spot.

  • Not pictured: iMac computer

  • Pictured, but not obvious: Wool desk mat, by Woolly Clouds on Etsy

 

The Extra

The things I could definitely live without, but I really like having.

  • Logitech Bluetooth keyboard, because typing on an iPad screen sucks. (note additional Space-bar sticker)

  • iPad stand that matches my iMac- great for non-office FaceTime meetings.

  • iPad Pro

  • Pentax K-50 camera, which I mostly use for night sky photography.

 

The Fun Stuff

I really don’t need this stuff, but a lot of it is helpful and the rest of it is fun.

  • Ugmonk Gather desk organizer, because I want things to look good.

  • Little wooden handmade bowl, a gift from my sister.

  • Sticky notes the go in the right side of the organizer.

  • Moonstone pen, cute pen, mechanical pencil.

  • Apple Pencil- super useful for designing and Shellbird Studio drafting.

  • Apple attachments, and a little capsule of rosin for my bird call keychain.

  • Le Thiers knife with birch handle, carbon steel blade, and corkscrew, from Le Sabot.

  • Bobby pin, because they’re everywhere in my house.

  • Two adorable unicorns, courtesy of Sage Space!

  • Twilight Princess Zelda

  • Lip Balm from Kairos in Etown- you can buy this here!

  • Eraser, because I always tear through the ones on the pencils.

  • Glasses- I should be wearing these now, but you know I’m not.

 

Do I really need these?

No, but I like them.

  • Cactuses from a local greenhouse

  • Jar of water (okay I DO need this one).

  • External hard drive- we take a LOT of photos at Trellis

  • Clips, paperclips and thumbtacks, but cute!

  • Cool Geode Coasters, from Knock Knock Boutique in Etown.

 

The Relaxing

Everyone has to keep their sanity somehow.

  • Mini Polar Seltzer, because I can’t finish a big girl size.

  • Box of matches, from Trellis

  • P.F. Candle Co. candle, my favorite candle maker.

  • Polymer sand box, a cool gift from my mom that helps me find some chill.

 

The Notebooks

Old habits die hard; I still really like writing on paper.

  • Rhodia notebooks: one unlined, one lined, and one graph paper.

  • A natural, refillable leather notebook from Rustico- I really like the natural leather because it gives you the opportunity to really get that patina going.
