Well, I just did!  I bought some nice pencils and I cannot remember when was the last time I did that.  At least I hope they were nice!  They were more expensive than pencils I remember.

I would have bought cheap penicls, which is what I was after, but didn't want 64 of them.  I mean really!  

I bought some new erasers, and some metal pencil sharpeners.  I just got nostalgic for a pencil!  LOL!!!

Have you bought anything unusual you haven't had to buy in a long time?  Pencils are so retro!  I haven't used one in years.

Does a 5th Ave Candy Bar count?   I used to love them as a child and haven't seen them in stores for years.  The other day I was in a Bartell's Drug store and saw them in the candy rack.  

I have to admit that I bought three of them.  I certainly won't eat them all at once and I'll cut each one in a few pieces and eat it over a couple of days.  But seeing them again just made me so happy.

Hair scrunchies 😊

Got them on Etsy, real silk and really well made!

Still rockin' the Pandemic Ponytail.

A 3-inch binder to hold some of my recipes.  A "Pink Pearl" eraser.

I bought one of those music boxes with the ballerina inside. I was missing mine from childhood and the simpler times and got one to put my hair pins and rubber bands in. I'm regressing!!!

I love hearing about all these thing!  Thanks for sharing!  It is a nice change from what we usually buy and discuss.

I just replaced my can opener that I had for years. I, of course, did my "reseach" and decided on the Cuisinart. I do love Cuisinart. Well, it had bells and whistles and the third time I used it, it broke. My old one must be 20 years old, and it's not even broken. Just thought it was time for a new one.

A new LR sofa.  We've been waiting since Black Friday 2020 to get one from Macy's... the thrill is gone.
