Yesterday I returned home from a three-week trip to the US to see family. We saw a lot of people and had a great time. One of the many pleasures of our trip was seeing lots of back to school stationery in the stores. I have to admit I still get a thrill seeing stacks of notebooks and pens, even if it does herald the impending end of summer.
Even though I’m not a student, I picked up a few things for fun. Some were nostalgic, like Pink Pearl erasers and pretty folders. Others were new to me, like stretchy fabric book covers.
What are your favorite back-to-school stationery items, even if you’re no longer a student?
I still like mechanical pencils of different types, but demonstrator pencils are always fun.
Pink Pearl erasers! And the rectangular, turquoise ones they no longer make. I was eraser-obsessed as a kid and I still am!
