i need some help

[vintage file holder can be found at Greatfindz]

Hi Lovely readers! I am in the process of sorting through my office and getting organized and want to find cute folders. Cute manilla folders. Somehow I am drawing a blank. It feels crazy since I know that I see them all the time and have even been meaning to blog about a few but my head is blank. Please help me so I can get organized! Where can I find cute folders?!

I read the following excerpt from the book Throw Out Fifty Things over at Baca Creative (a new to me blog that I heart as you can see from this post) and I feel even more motivated to get tossing, giving and maybe even selling:

THE RULES OF DISENGAGEMENT:

#1. If it—the thing, the belief or conviction, the memory, the job, even the person—weighs you down, clogs you up, or just plain makes you feel bad about yourself, throw it out, give it away, sell it, let it go, move on.

#2. If it (see above!) just sits there, taking up room and contributing nothing positive to your life, throw it out, give it away, sell it, let it go, move on. If you’re not moving forward, you’re moving backward. Throwing out what’s negative helps you rediscover what’s positive.

#3. Don’t make the decision—whether to toss or keep it—a hard one. If you have to weigh the pros and cons for too long or agonize about the right thing to do, throw it out.

#4. Don’t be afraid. This is your life we’re talking about. The only one you’ve got for sure. You don’t have the time, energy or room for physical or psychic waste.

I believe anthropologie and maybe urban outfitters have pretty file folders (instore, not online)

Hmm, I love the decluttering guidelines.. It's making me think of a few objects sitting in my condo right now. :)

These rules of disengagement are awesome.
Staples, surprisingly, has a few cute folders. I'd guess the Container Store would as well. And I like those at Oh Joy! Places to start at least.
