QotD: I Love To Shop For...

What's your favorite thing to shop for?

People who know me (online) might think the answer is food. But nooo. It is in fact, art and stationery supplies.

I cannot stop myself when I go into a good art/stationery store. I am drawn to all kinds of things, but I'm really particular to notebooks and blank journals. I have a huge collection of them - wherever I go, I buy these. And I rarely use any - I like to keep them pristine. I've been collecting these since I was in high school, and now have hundreds of them.

Besides notebooks I love inexpensive yet cool pens, interesting erasers,colored pencil sets, watercolor sets that come in those little cakes...

I even thought about starting a site about 'bunbougu love' (bunbougu is the generic Japanese term for stationery and office supplies)....though I fear not many people may share my fetish..not sure.

I recently started taking a bookbinding course so now I can make my own blank journals! This is exciting territory.
