We love writing paper
Set of bookplates by Gallison, Php320 at National Bookstores.
We may be in bibliophilia rehab, but we can still pop into the bookstore to look at stationery. We love stationery. This probably stems from the penmanship training at our old school—we learned to enjoy scribbling on blank sheets of paper. This may also account for our choice of occupations.
The set contains 80 bookplates in 10 designs.
“Why do you have bookplates? Why don’t you just write your name on the flyleaf?”
“No reason. We just like bookplates.”
Pocket spiral notebook, cat design by Romero Britto, Php200+ (pricetag fell off).
We used to haunt the little stationery shop at St. Theresa’s, the one on the second floor near the cafeteria, for paper and rubber erasers. Did you sniff those scented rubber erasers, too? We know people who used to chew on them. They also gnawed on their Mongol pencils.
Box of Liberty art fabrics notecards by Chronicle Books, Php957. 16 cards, with envelopes, 4 designs: Clementina (1896), Pelagia (2007), Nesfield (1900s) inspired by William Morris, and Amarylis (1880s).
We would’ve gotten these notecards for the fabric-covered box.
Saffy invaded the frame, which meant she wanted a close-up.

Grade school memories :D
I didn’t outgrow collecting paper of all sorts. Just the handwriting – it was downhill from Grade 4. I’m very amazed that you were able to maintain that penmanship. Was there any time in your life that you deviated from it – willingly or not?
