☆ミ 80s Pencil Cases + Slouch Socks ☆ミ

 
If there is anything I haven't collected enough of lately, it's vintage pencil cases. 
Some of my favourites are made by Sanrio or Flomo.

Pencil cases from the 80s were not just a box which held your pencils.
They came disguised as other novelty items such as musical instruments, 
daily commodities, electronics, and more. 
 
 
 
What's really nifty is how they always had a spot for your pencils, eraser, 
paper clips, a mini five inch ruler,  magnifying glass, pencil sharpener, 
and little slots to place your pencils when you were 
using them and wanted them readily available.


Being both an artist and a collector of all things colourfully pastel and 80s, 
I just had to snag up these treasures I found today at the little warehouse by my home.
I consider myself very lucky and have a stellar eye for these things.

 Look how undeniably cute these are! A key, watch, video camera, and violin!


I think they mean binoculars, but you get the idea.

 

Video camera which assembles into binoculars? WOW!


To access the pencils on this one, you must turn the dial.


Moon socks + another pencil case.
The theme for this one is a Gundam video game.


Slouch socks! I love loose socks.

 

A blast from the past and in pastels.
I do this to regular socks, so I can't wait to wear these.

 
Silly hair clips of a little girl, gumballs, and a cupcake. 
I believe I had a lot of hair things by "Show Offs" brand when I was a child
so this was mainly for nostalgia purpose.
 Thank you for viewing!
