Weekend West Elm Purchase....(Via Made By Girl)

After asking on Twitter for suggestions on pencil cups,  I finally decided on these alphabet mugs by West Elm. One for me and the other for my guy! I have LOTS of pens on my desk, since I'm constantly writing notes, so I NEEDED a cup that was going to make them look organized. As you can see, my guy has yet to organize his pens...I may just have to do it for him!

Have you seen these alphabet mugs yet? What pencil cup holder do you use? Where did you get yours from???

  18. These are great. I have seen alphabet mugs before...not these...but others at Tj Maxx. Have you tried a small vase with a large mouth? I live using a glass blown vase or tall glass to hold my pens.

  19. CARPE DIEM: No, I never thought of using a vase, that's an excellent idea though...thank you! :)))

  26. I got loads of pencil holders. Usually I make them myself (well, sort of) using old jam jars that I embellish by drawing a bit on or putting a bow tie or things like that. The only one I actually purchased was from Ikea, though. :)
