i’m jealous of ‘back to school’ shoppers
So, I saw my first ‘back to school’ ad about a week ago. I’m sure all of you students out there find that quite depressing, but not me! I used to love going back to school… granted, it was mainly for the art supplies. The smell of a newly sharpened pencil, a fresh box of crayons, and a big stack of brightly coloured paper – oh, the possibilities! And obviously, I’m not alone. I have a feeling that Dalton Ghetti {alphabet carved pencils}, Jonna Pohjalainen {log pencil crayon installation}, Diem Chau {carved crayons}, and Jennifer Stark {cut-paper sculptures} would have been thrilled to see that commercial at the end of July… ooh, maybe we could all get matching pencil cases!
I was also a school supplies geek. I carried a pencil case throughout college and I still get jazzed about new art supplies and colored pencils with a fresh point.
sigh… me too.
These are amazing! I don’t know what it is but a fresh pack of the 24 box of crayolas in the school isle really makes me happy! Just found your lovely blog, now must add to my reader list!
love these images. Sept has always been my favorite time of year – when it really feels like a new year is beginning. I would love to be going back to school again.
sigh. me too. but hey, even though we’re not signed up for any classes, there’s nothing stopping us from buying all of the stuff!! ; )
