Whilst Jimmy braved the rain to golf with the boys yesterday, I stayed at home stitching up some more Boxy Pencil Pouches! Little did I realize that I’d chosen so many polka dotted prints, and now I’m seeing circles.

Well it turns out that circles, manifested as polka dots even, are a good sign! Circles represent connectedness and, as we know from the whole wedding ring tradition, are a symbol of eternal love and commitment. 

Surely it would mean a lot then if you were to say, present one of these cute pouches as a gift to someone you love. Just because. Or as a belated Valentine’s Day gift, say.

Not only that, but feng shui practitioners believe that round objects strategically placed in the Creativity and Children section of your home can even aid in fertility, since circles are also symbolic of the circle of life. Ah, a new function for the Boxy Zippered Pencil Pouch!

So many uses, who knew?!

Of course if you’re not feeling the polka dot, there’s always the option of Faux Bois or Flower Power…
