love: composition notebooks


There were about three things that got me through my awkward middle school years:

1) my VHS copy of Harriet the Spy

2) my best friend leigh

3) my composition notebooks
I drooled over the sewn-in binding, the black and white color scheme, the drama of it all.
Between middle school and high school, i went through probably 20-30 of those bad boys. That collection of composition notebooks narrated my early adolescent story...fears, dreams, crushes, questions...
So when I stumbled upon these beauties the other day, I HAD to get them for my little sisters (ages 8 and 12):
I cant recreate my childhood for them, nor can I find them best friends like the one I had. Heck, I probably cant even find them a copy of Harriet the Spy on VHS (garage sale, anyone?).

But what I can do is pass along my love for the composition notebook. And thus inspire the composition of their own awkward middle school narratives.

    sadie and zoe can have my VHS copy if they want..it's taped from a TV special so there's no "bathtub scene." ha!
