I went to Target today in search of flip-flops and new pillows. Little did I know what awaited me there.

Aisles, baskets, and bins full of every imaginable pen, notebook, folder, eraser, etc. It was beautiful.

I have a fascination with school supplies, in the same category as my fascination with The Container Store.

The dollar section at the front of the store was the most hazardous, with glittery pencils, multi-colored pens (you know, like the pens from the 80s), colorful erasers, and cute animal stickers with googly eyes ….. I barely escaped without a purchase. I was not as successful in the folder aisle, however, where a Chococat folder JUMPED INTO MY BASKET AND INSISTED ON GOING HOME WITH ME.

I’m still regretting that I didn’t purchase that pack of glittery pencils, though …. le sigh……
