    Ahhh this is so cute. Where do you find these trinkets? You must have a pretty cool attic full of treasures! I believe the quote is from Joe Fox, You’ve Got Mail, one of my favorite movies!

    Oh my. School supplies are even better when you’re an adult because you can enjoy them without having to actually go to school. I LOVE that notebook.

    I bought those pencils for my daughter earlier this summer (well that was my excuse!). We carry them with us on family outings with a few little notebooks and she draws away – only wish the container stayed closed. I put two elastics around it, but they always pop off and we need to dig around in my bottomless pit of a summer tote and find the pencils that got loose! I was eye-spying the water color set just the other day (she already has oil pastels) the packaging is so darn cute I want it all!

    Your things in a box are always my favorite posts! And that quote from You’ve Got Mail is one of my favorites – I think of it every fall!

    First of all, that’s my favorite quote from You’ve Got Mail! I even created a graphic and pinned it because it’s all I can think about whenever autumn rolls around. Secondly, I have that notebook from Chronicle and I love, love, love it. I bought mine in a three pack at a small boutique in Hood River, Oregon, and then I saw them at Paper Source here in Boston. I use mine every single day — and I even leave it lying around on the dining room table because it’s THAT PRETTY.

    Stocking up on new supplies is probably one of the top five things I’m missing most about not being a full-time teacher this year. Thanks for this!

    I always love your “in a box” posts. But this one takes the cake.

    Give me that cookie.
