Back-to-school wishlist

So school starts a week from today. A week! Gaaah!  I've got some actual back-to-school shopping I need to do over the next few days, mostly practical and must-have items. But, I've been doing some imaginary shopping too. Want to see some of the goodies on my wish list? I thought so.

For popping sweet little notes in lunchboxes. 

I love grey. And fleece. And cardigans. This covers all three.

Casual and cool. Perfect for teaching kindergarten. And, it has to be said, I look fabulous in green!

Hilarious! I must have this.

Waking up at the crack of dawn might be nicer if I had this awesome retro alarm clock.

The messenger bag in brushed brown. I'm in love.

Nap mats for my kindergarten classroom. Wonder if they make them in adult size too?

A Mrs Pugh name banner to hang up in my library? Umm, yes please.

Also on my list: a cool, grown-up lunch kit, funky new reading glasses, a new and beautiful lesson plan book, and plenty of sharpie markers {in every colour}...

How about you? Are you dreaming of back-to-school clothes and supplies, too?

  7. I have always loved back to school shopping. This was always my favorite time of year as a kid. Getting ready for the new year, finding out my classes, getting a few new outfits. All new and exciting stuff! I hope you have a smooth transition back into school :)

  9. Oh man do I love all of these suggestions. While I'll be in secondary education those nap mats still look perfect for my own personal use! I think the book bags (both the satchel & the 'big books") are great! Wow you've got me drooling on a Tuesday morning.

    I'd also love those little teacher envelopes. Where did you find these gems?

  15. Wow, maybe you should consider a second career as the "back-to-school essentials curator."

    P.S. I wish my school would stretch the budget to make room for 30 of those rest maps. too cute.

  16. Noooooooooooooo, noooooooooooo, not a week!! I can't believe that summer went by SO fast! It seems that once you hit a certain age, time goes by really fast!!

    I am in love with everything, I love the casual look, the cute bag stating big books rock, and the sign :)

    Thank you so much sweet girl for all of your very sweet words! They meant the world to me!

    Cheers to enjoying the last days of summer vacation :)
