The Perfect Pencil Case

A few weeks ago my favourite little purple suede pencil case broke, well at least the zip did. I was still trying to use it to carry my assorted pens, pencils, sharpeners, erasers and whatevers in, but I finally gave up about a week ago. Instead I carried the current favourite pen and one other; a small red ink pen with novelty cover. Wouldn’t you know it, the pen ran out of ink. Argh! I had to use this short pen with the red ink. I was most annoyed. I felt reluctant to buy another pen because I have so many already, but now I’m on the look out for the perfect pencil case.
The one in the photo has served me well for the last five or more years. I’d love another just like it, but the place I purchased this one from no longer has them. I can’t find any brand name or similar on the old one. It’s most likely worn off if it was there, anyway. If you know where I can find one that looks anything like this one, please let me know in the comments section below. If you sell these and you’d like to give me one, I’d love you forever and would blog about it right here. Or was that too cheeky?
What about you? What do you use to carry your stationary supplies in? I’d love to see photos, too, so don’t be shy. Post links to photos on blogs or wherever they might be. Please leave any comments and links in the section below.

I just got this at OfficeMax. It’s made of recycled KoolAid packages – how groovy is that? It’s pretty big, and holds a bunch of pencils, a sharpener, eraser, everything I need to draw on the road.

Hi Robin,
That is a seriously cool pencil case. We don’t have that store here, but I will go take a good look at my favourite office supply store this weekend. I’d probably like one a little smaller, though. I get a sore shoulder if I carry too many things with me. Thanks for showing me your pencil case, though.
