Have I ever told you how much i love stationary? Like I really LOVE stationary. In the past few years I have developed what some might call an obsession with it and all that it entails. Planners, pencils, papers, stickers...the list just goes on and one. I think my favorite of them all is pens. I am the person who will take your pen if you are not watching. Not always on purpose, but I am never sorry if you call me out on it. If anything, I'll be upset that you called me out on it. *lol*
So today, in honor of that unhealthy love, I thought i would share with you some of my top stationary loves. I would say in no particular order, but that honestly would be a lie.
- Pens...make my heart sing. I can not explain the sheer pleasure that i get when an order comes in from Amazon or JetPens or PenGems or really anywhere and there is a pen in it. I like to savor opening the package, let it marinate a day before i take it out and admire it. I know...i sound crazy and that's okay. I freely admit it.
- Planners - WHOOO BOY! that's all i can really say. This is like my second love right here. I will buy a planner knowing full well that I have six more at home i have to use. Right now I'm trying to talk myself out of buying a B6 planner. I have no use for it. None at all, but why should that stop me from being happy?
- Highlighters - one can never have to many. Does it matter than i drawers full of them? That i'm not in school and have no real need for them? That I collect different brands? NO. All that matters is they are pretty and I can look at them whenever I want to.
- Washi - I need to be honest here. I do not use washi like you would think. Not really. when i scrapbook I try to use the washi but it just does not work. I forget I have it, I can't figure out how to place it, I don't like tearing off the ends. And I still keep my subscription box to Simply Gilded because every month is a new surprise. This newest box is Paris themed and I was like "Welp, can't cancel now. Maybe next month" *lol*
- Paper clips - let me clarify though. Not the basic ones with no pizzaz. I need the ones with pom poms on top or pretty felt characters or something. They gotta stand out.
- Planner Pads - I like to use these for pre planning my week and making notes on to dos for my day. Easy to toss in the bag and go and they have cute designs.
- Charms for planners - This comes and goes depending on the planner. When i was hardcore into my TN and A5 size planner, I really wanted a lot. But the Happy Planner is a bit harder to put charms on, so i had to put a bit of a hold on them, curate a collection that made sense for the planners I was into.
- Notebooks - Need i say more.
