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!
Those are great finds! I love collecting 80's stationery items as well~
ReplyDeleteI adore the stationary from the 80s! The pencil cases are magical with all of the little hidden slots they have.
