were waiting for me at my sister’s house. [emoji173]️

I had not been very active lately because I was preparing for my trip as well.
 
At the same time as I bought this Smythson, I got my 2019 daily journal from Kate Spade. And a bit earlier I bought a new notebook for work with the stamping “I am excessively diverted” (Jane Austen). I love the pastel pink and blue notebooks together :blush:

(I may have the mental age of a five-year old :facepalm::facepalm::lol:)
I love the Jane Austen quotation!

Your notebooks are charming... not at all childish. This, mind you, coming from the fully adult woman who is picking up her birthday cake today: chocolate, with vanilla buttercream frosting, and pink roses! :biggrin:
 
No. I go nuts over stationary shops every time I go to Japan. They have the best stationary selections hands down. I don’t even care about visiting any boutiques or department stores, but stationary shops are always on my must-go list.
I have discovered these little Japanese pens, and I always have one in my purse. They collapse on themselves when they aren't in use, so ink doesn't spill, and then they slide open when you want to write. I have them in every color!

I never try this. My favorite of the moment is Pentel. The type that sell the shell and ink separately so we can mix and match the colors the way we want. There’re a couple of brands that offer the similar products, but I like Pentel best. Maybe next time I should look into this. [emoji848]

And I like the pen that has a brush tip. The Japanese use them to sign their signature. I use them because they makes me feel cool. [emoji16]

Tell me about it. When I was in high school, my Dad went to Japan and I sent him with a mile-long stationery shopping list!! :smartass:

I think someone said something about my not-so-enable friend and I just remember today I have another one called me from a duty free mall coz she found Burberry scarves on sale. (She’s going abroad next wear week) One of them is actually the one I want to get since summer but decided against since it’s too expensive. Today, it’s 50% off and tax free and that helps with justification a lot. [emoji28] So, at the end I got 2 scarves and I’m not even on any trip or going anywhere cool. [emoji28] Talking about enable and spending mindlessly. [emoji29]
