She still has an office in Lake Charles, hon… The pay isn’t great, but she feeds you well. :)

I have never had a job that I enjoyed. Jealousy sets in just reading about someone who has. Did you say you outgrew that position? Because I would so grow into it were it vacant. That is, just as long as we are talking about Chris Thile, Joanna Newson, or Devandra Banhart folk music.

I’ve just recently picked up pen and paper and started a correspondence with a couple of my blog friends. So much fun to receive a hand written letter! However, my stationery lacks. I had high hopes, I really did.

But then I reverted to my stationery of choice: paper ripped from a spiral bound notebook. I am a utilitarian chick at heart. And I cannot seem to change my ways.

But it’s still nice to send and receive letters.

Pseudo-OCD. Check. Love paper and pens. Check.

(Loving folk music: um, not-check. Apologies.)

Problem: can’t get past former secret identity as persnickety librarian. “Stationary” is when something is standing still. We write on “stationery.”

Roxy gets it, but is less obnoxious than me.

Puffy hearts to all.

Love this. I, of course, love paper and note cards, and the feel of ink flowing from a really nice pen.

Also, I type much faster than I write, and I rarely have clean note cards on hand. So, sadly, I hardly ever write letters any more.

I have read and re-read this post in hopes that I may recite it from heart one day.
I get this. (It makes me want to cry actually.)

On a lighter note, Gavin latest video is what my dreams are made of!!! You’ve seen it, right?

First off:
“(Pseudo-OCD: Everything doesn’t necessarily have to be in its place… It just has to look like it is.)”
thank you – I am so stealing that one! Love it!!

Now, what I really meant to say: I truly miss one of my fave stores in San Diego. They had a huge selection of cards, and stationery – cool, unique, fun stuff at cheap prices. I’d stock up once every couple of months. I’ve yet to find a place like that here. I’m thinking I may have to send my kid there: Hey kid, here’s two gift cards, one for you as a bribe, and the other – take to that cool little store over there and buy me a bunch of cards, and papers, and note cards, and stuff.

My mom has a very similar card box, but since she doesn’t even have internet, she sends them. I am with you… email rocks.

I absolutely LOVE stationary, but I cannot remember to send cards out on time. How messed up is that?

Love this shot and your tatt!

My husband recommends I seek therapy for my love of paper. I LOVE paper. I like to smell it and collect it and write on it and save it forever! Yup. I am a paper lover. How environmentally unfriendly of me. Stupid green people taking all the paper away. Good to see I am not alone.

I adore my notes from Judith…..I have a stationary collection too, and the perfect birthday card for a friend that I am just *dying* to send, if only I had an address……..

When I was a little girl I saved all my pennies and spent them on Hello Kitty notepads and pencils at Hallmark. (this was way before Hello Kitty was emo)

I’ve been collecting stationary ever since… so hit me up with an email, yo.

ps. I adore Crane’s paper. sucks to be me.
