    Yay! I love school supply shopping! When I was little, I used to love opening the tops of Crayola Crayon boxes and running my finger along the waxy points. :) I've always loved pens and pencils, but these days I am slightly obsessed with little notebooks and also different shaped rules (like, the ones with various sized circles). So I'm loving that protractor in this giveaway! :)

    My fave would have to be Crayons. They smell soooo good! That and probably a brand new spiral notebook. I think I love it all, though! :)

    Pens and pencils, particularly anything with an extra fine point. Those Staedler fine point markers are heavenly!

    Loving that teal notebook! Did I mention I'm an art teacher. I teach 1-5th grade art and I have to say that my favorite school supply is a fresh notebook that can be filled up with doodles and drawings. Love summer, but getting excited for school to start too:)

    I'm not sure I've ever participated in a giveaway before! Man o' man, cheers to teal comp books! Must-have-lots-of-school-supplies. In particular: pencil cases! My super favorite by far. Well, and then of course lots of pencils & pens & crayons & erasers & miscellaneous-ness to put inside them...

    I just found your Etsy shop and love it! I have always love school supplies and stationary stores and now the vintage stuff especially. My favorite would probably be the brand new pencils and pencil crayons with the sharpened points before anyone starts to write with them and ruin the point!

    Yay! Each day I am looking forward to these,
    they are so awesome!
    Well, there is nothing like a brand new sharpened pencil, the way it smells, the way it writes..
    I am a constant "note writer downer" so I absolutely love notebooks too, my faves are those comp books up there.
    That teal one is right up my alley!

    I do love pens, and cool notebooks that have paper thick enough so the ink doesn't bleed through :)

    Crayons for sure! Whenever I would get a new box I would try to color as lightly as I could stand it to keep the flat tip as long as possible.

    Oh I love school supplies! The day they handed out our new stationary was always my favourite day of school, and I secretly think that is why I became a teacher! My stationary favourite is new books of any sort, planners, exercise books, notebooks and the like.

    I'm definitely a pencil girl - I love purchasing an unneccessary amount of different colours. I probably have a thousand shades of blues and yellows and greens, but I love it!
    I also prefer to write with a calligraphy fountain pen, instead of regular pens.

    Aren't we a bunch of school supply lovers?? I thought I was the only one that liked to buy school supplies more than clothes! I still can't go to Target without just walking through the office/school supply aisle. I'd say my favorite item is notebooks - all colors, sizes styles. Love them!

    I remember loving to go back to school shopping for supplies more than the clothes haha.

    I loved duotangs, pencil cases and fresh coil notebooks, and those smooth writing bic pens.

    I think that my favorite back to school supplies are notebooks, pens, and new pencils. okay, i actually love all school supplies, even though i hate that the school supply section in target means that summer is almost over (and that they'll have their christmas supplies out in about a month).
