Red and Green

This will be a very short post. And only for the blog. I have a sweet spot (call it idiosyncrasy) for stationery. I mean, some people do heroin, some do alcohol, some do Oprah. I am addicted to stationery. Put me in a stationery shop — you can leave me there all day (give or take), depending on the size and amount of stuff inside. And there are some very good (read “well stocked”) shops here in Bucharest because many people do arts. I mean, arts as professionally artistic, like my friend Carmen Nistor (who recently got back from her art display in Dubai), or arts as hobby, from painting to pottery (see another great example, another friend of mine, Bianca Bardaș), to fill time, cravings and have an alternative way of expressing yourself. I mean, what could be more pleasing than creating something beautifully expressive with your own hands ? Ha ? Well, I am not creating anything (yet) but I love pens and stuff. So I collect and use them, maybe one day I will explore some alternative ways of expressing myself…
