Stationary Tin

I have had my pencil tin for years. It works for me. In fact, it is like a useful dustbin. Everything and anything that could classify as ’stationary’ gets thrown in and every now and then I have to empty it out onto my floor to scratch for the safety pins and paper clips at the bottom.

There are a fews things that my pencil tin HAS to always be in stock of: Double sided tape, a good black felt-tip pen, pritt glue (the others are just no good), my fine-tip scissors (which is perfect for threads and opening the button holes for the coffee bags), lots of dog clips, a disapearing fabric marker, at least two permanent markets (for writing the addresses onto envelopes), a metal inch/cm ruler and a clutch pencil (that has lead).

I have set up a flickr group called: Stationary containers. In a way I think that a stationary container can tell quite a lot about a person. If you get a chance, why not snap a picture of yours and add it to the flickr group. It is fun to reflect on different stationary collection solutions.
