Look What Punky Found: The ampersand, my favorite little character!

Posted by Sandy on Feb 10th 2014

It's no secret that the ampersand is one of my favorite little characters. Did you know that the ampersand symbol comes from making a combination of Latin letters for 'and' and 'et?'

Based on the vast number of oh, so fun ampersand-inspired pieces, I'm not the only one who loves this little conjunction. Here are some of my favorites...

Since we've been experiencing such a mild winter in our area, this light cotton Pashmina scarf would make a perfect California accessory. Even better is the fact that it's hand stamped with ampersands by ShebboDesign. If cream isn't your color, she has a couple of others to choose from.

I couldn't leave out the ampersand inspired office supplies and paper goods could I?

Even though we are well into February, it feels like 2014 just started. (Anyone else having the same problem?) A personalized planner would be great...especially with an ampersand on the front.

I just love this typographic print with lots of ampersands by Quotational. If green isn't your favorite, they have various palettes to choose from.

The simplicity of this black and white poster by Folio Creations pays perfect tribute to the ampersand.
