Covid life wears thin if we don’t take a break from it all.
I don’t know about you, but I need to take a conscious break from all the media and focus on something that is positive, beautiful and creative. This is when I turn to one of my favorite stationery shops, RECESS, based in Calgary.
My daughter tells me these Mildliner highlighters (above) are all the rage with the cool kids in University. She was actually shocked that I had some….that’s right, I just became cool!
letter writing supplies
You know me, and anything letter writing related calls my name. I picked up a few of these air mail envelopes last time I was physically in the store.
Recess has done an incredible job of shifting all of its unique inventory online and as I was scrolling I saw this adorable pen pal kit (not shown here). Perfect for taking a break from all things Covid.
Get outside with some paints
Recess has everything to keep our minds active and our creativity soaring.
Isn’t this Field Sketch Box of beautiful paints palettes amazing?! If you felt so inclined you could seek out some fresh air and go plein air painting.
Pens in the colours of the rainbow
I love theses gel pens! So many colours to choose from. I picked the green, purple and pink. What would you pick?
Colouring posters!
This was a new discovery for me on the Recess website – giant colouring posters. If my kids were younger this would definitely be a sanity saver in the house during quarantine time.
How are you taking a break from thinking about Covid every waking minute?
p.s. thank you to Recess for allowing me to use their photos.
