School Supplies

I love school supplies. Claire and I went shopping for her kindergarten supplies this past week and I was reminded just how much I love them. The new crayons, markers, and notebooks get me excited! I bought some new pens for myself--the nice fine-tip kind and I held the 20 count package of rainbow colored sharpies in my hands, but knew better than to purchase them (an 18 month old Claire colored on my then brand new washer with a sharpie. NEVER AGAIN!). We loaded up her stuff in the cart. I could tell she was geeked over the new things too.

Even as a kid I loved office/ school supplies. I would hide pens and paper in my room like precious treasures. The kid in me drools over the beautiful things at Paper Source , but I rarely browse the e-store--it makes me covet. :)

What I loved were the "vintage" office supplies in my dad's office growing up, old mechanical pencils with dried up erasers, really cool folders, slide rules (I even learned to use it). I really treasured this pencil thing that had eraser in it instead of lead and a brush on the opposite end.
