Awhile back I had said I would stop buying all the cheap stationery up. There is no reason to be greedy, but so much of what I find/ found is at second hand shops and the money goes to good causes, so its extra hard to say no.
But no is what I have said on countless times, still these are the most recent items I have added to the stash.

| My Mom got these for me. I have to tell her to resist the urge to buy thrifty items for me as well! |
So far, I am keeping my paper addiction to a minimum. Hopefully as I whittle done my stash, I will be able to start making more and more of my own creations!
But just because I have limited myself on buying does not mean you should! Make sure to shop at your local stationery and thrift stores!
Happy Paper!

Nice discoveries! I never find paper in thrift stores in Belgium. (They do feed my "private library" though.)
ReplyDeleteTee hee this sounds so familiar! I was supposed to be stopping buying stationery but oops, I cannot break the habit. One day I shall be good:)
ReplyDeleteI found tons of goodies at an estate sale today. I couldn't resist my temptation.
ReplyDeleteI love the last pic and I'm so glad you didn't leave that in the store! I'd be surprised if you ever see it again.
ReplyDeleteI remember buying some of these when I was a kid. I loved picking them up and flipping the pages. Funny how things change.
ReplyDeleteI recently got a big piece of furniture which has revolutionised my craft room. One whole line of "holes" is for alllll my stationery! It is INCREDIBLE the amount that I have (I have literally been collecting since I was 8 years old). But now it is all neatly filed away in one place, which is cool. AND I have found that in the past week, I have used the stuff more (more specifically my Christmas card collection) because I can actually see my whole stash! It makes me feel, like, not so "weird" about buying more bargain stuff also (because now I have a place to put it!)
