Skip Loves Stationery

On the phone last night with my beloved sister, Fabs, I was reminded of my not-so hidden addiction to whimsical stationery. She claims to have had dinner with someone who bore witness to me spending >$150 on cards and notes in one transaction several years back. Now, while I cannot say with certainty that this was not me (How can anyone contain themselves when in the utterly charming Pumpkin Seeds in Metro-Lex, VA?), surely it must be difficult for anyone to spend that much money on paper! Right?

Perhaps not. I just equipped my pretend/make-believe home office by fake-buying stationery and return address labels from Felix Doolittle. I have ghost-spent $146 before taxes and shipping. Apparently you can spend that much money on paper.
