I'm A Sad, Pathetic Stationery Junkie.

I just got all of my notebooks, notepads, filler paper, and stationery out of storage because my new furniture is finally here. The amount of vintage Sanrio and Morning Glory is staggering. I used it in high school and uni,  so it’s all at least FP legible on one side with a Western F nib. There’s some Crane and other paper from previous generations in there too.

We would love to see pictures.

Yes indeed to photos.

It’s still messy and not well organized, but here’s a few of the shelves  and I will pull out my favorites and add another post later.

Here’s more organized pictures:

Here’s a couple of older papers:

Wow! 😍all that paper.

I’m so excited for the rediscovery! It’s so much, I think I will make a stand-alone post of pictures when I have a better idea of what I have and can group things together.

Sounds like a fun trip down memory lane. I look forward to seeing your groupings.

I got these notebooks this past week.  They are by Denik, and are 5.25 x 8.25”. I like the one on the right the least.  My favorite is on the left

why doesn't that surprise me?

That they are space themed?  It shouldn’t surprise you!  I wasn’t paying attention to the size, so was a bit surprised. If I were devious, I’d use it to write letters, but postage might not be welcome to you to have to write your reply in it, and send it back to me.  I’ll use a Milquerius notebook instead. I almost started a letter to you today.

I’m starting to want an A5 size Leuchtturm notebook with 120gsm paper in Nordic Blue. The paper looks white, which would be nice.

So... I haven't decided where to get my hobonichi from. Anderson, yoseka, or jetpens. The first two I can add more ink samples to my order. Anyone know if any of them stand out pricewise?

[Misfit]

I’ve shopped with all three. I think it depends on the brands of ink you want. And the free shipping threshold. Having said that, I have never bought any hobonichi products.

I buy them directly from Hobonichi.  They always throw little exclusive extras in.

It was a sad day for this junkie. I took my son to Office Depot for Back to School Stuff. He's just started his freshman year of college. He walks around and says, "Mom, your supply closet has better stuff.  Let's go to your office."  Now I do agree that I had better stuff, but not buying goodies just seemed wrong.

It's nice that he recognizes and appreciates the better stuff you have...

How lucky you are to have such a discerning young man for a son!
