Okay so along with the stationeries I ordered online, I found this vintage stationery set and at first I wasn't really interested. Although the shop showed pictures of what's inside, they were pretty tiny so I thought maybe these aren't worth it and I'll be better off buying individual ones. Later on I decided to get one anyway since I wanna surprise myself.
The box is about $9 and since I wanted to do some journaling and scrapbooking, I wanted to have vintage themed as well although I am mostly attracted to kawaii design. lol
The box feels a bit heavier than I expected.
It has a little bit of damage on the cover but didn't affect the contents so that was nice.
Opening the box really feels like a gift from someone else just because I didn't know what's inside.
These notepads are really pretty. Me likey.
And then we have these hard papers. I'm not a big fan of thick ones since I don't really want to make the notebooks bulky but we'll see. They're really pretty though honestly and I really like the designs.
Then of course we see the vintage-themed papers. Some of them are a bit of a low quality, cos they were pixelized. But regardless I think it won't matter much since you're gonna layer them or something. Depends on how you use them. :D
Then we also have a tiny notebook. The pages are thick, I guess 120-160 gsm. Overall I like this one as well but I have no idea what to write in it yet. :P It's just too tiny.
Of course, there should be stickers. Some of them are pre-cut so you just peel them off but most are not so you gotta cut them manually.
More stickers! These have a washi tape texture and same opacity as well... so I guess they're called that? They're a bit transparent once you peel off the sticker.
I was really enjoying shuffling them and seeing them for the first time. Those fairies really made me happy as they are a big part of my childhood. I like them and I even wished to be one of them at one point haha. I'm also surprised with how much stickers this one pack have.
Some more papers.
..and more.
And more. :o
This tiny envelope and the letter paper really makes me nostalgic. I used to write letters to my friends when I was a kid even though we see each other everyday haha. They also did to me as well. They were a lot of designs and I mostly used the cute ones... also do you remember those scented papers? I was obsessed with them at one point haha.
I love these vintage washi tapes. Will really go well with a vintage themed journal. :D
Are these worth it?
Hell yeah it is.
Not only the amount of excitement with opening them but there's a lot of them inside and it is more convenient and less costly to just buy a set rather than buying those individually. I can't wait to share what I have done with these so far. :D
