Form meets function: Chic local office supplies

There’s a crispness is in the air, the State Fair is winding down, college students crowd the streets of Dinkytown–it’s officially back-to-school season. And although the concept of back-to-school shopping is no longer relevant to those of us who have long since waved our college years goodbye, I find that the time right around Labor Day, when we wrap up our summer cabin trips and weekends at the beach, is a great time to update my office space. So whether you are looking to spruce up your home office or make a few additions to your office away from home, here are some practical yet beautifully crafted office accessories from Twin Cities stores including the Foundry Home Goods, Pharmacie, Roam Interiors, russell + hazel, the Walker Art Center Shop, and Faribault Woolen Mill
