After School Specials

Share:

School may be out forever for some of us, but that doesn’t mean we can’t revisit our grade school days with fun, modernized office supplies. While writing about the Hope and Glory Inn in Irvington, Virginia (which was built as a schoolhouse in 1890), we were inspired to take a longer look at the supplies that adorn our desks. Boring black stapler? Check. Ancient whiteboard marker? Got that. Five Star notebook? OK, maybe we are still in grade school. If you’d like to join us in spicing up our stationary, here are a few picks that would make even Lisa Frank jealous.
