hello! very long time no see for the people who are still here. I finally have a real scanner and will be uploading a huge backlog of things over the next couple months. i am hoping to be a little more consistent, but after the backlog things will probably slow down again since I will be moving in 2026 :) i'll be starting with some fun vintage stuff I've been holding onto and then hopefully doing some more Sanrio and mascot stationery soon <3

Plz post more

I'm planning on it! I'd been putting stuff off until I could get better scans but I'm going to try to upload some things soon :)

how did you start collecting? any advice on using the stationary sometimes i feel like i hold onto it for too long

My wife started giving me vintage Sanrio items a couple of years back and when I started looking for things on my own I discovered that I would gravitate towards the stationery a lot of the time. We bought a couple lots of letter sets/memos and from there started focusing more on specific lines and characters we liked. It's really fun to go down a rabbit hole and find things you would have never expected :) Since then though I've branched out and started collecting other stationery as well, I really love a lot of retro patterns and am really fond of fold a notes and how compact they are.

When it comes to using the stationery, I am also very bad at hoarding. That's part of the reason I started this blog! I wanted to ease some of the stress and guilt of using rare or special papers because I really think that these things are meant to be used and enjoyed, and not to just sit in my drawers. This way I can still keep an archive of things and preserve them for others to enjoy while also getting to use the items for my penpals. I think the key thing for me is just remembering that it is my item and it's okay to use it even if it is a "collector's piece", and that I don't need a special occasion to pull it out. I don't always remember this, but I try!
