This coloring collage is dedicated to school. Anyone who studied in the 90s will surely remember some of the items in this set. I especially loved the ruler—the transparent one with stencil cutouts. At that time, colored notebooks and diaries had already appeared. But notebooks with colored covers were expensive for my family. So they bought me a couple of them, and when they ran out, I carefully removed the cover and inserted a regular notebook into it. And for textbooks, we made covers from old wallpaper. I still remember the old Soviet plasticine with its dull colors, then the bright chemical kind appeared - thermonuclear colors. There were also bright gel pens, but they still exist today and, interestingly, haven't changed in appearance at all! I still love them — as I do all stationery, for that matter. My grandfather would give my brother and me huge sets of 40 felt-tip pens for the holidays. But alas, they were only enough for a few drawings at most, and they dried out quickly. We had to take out the insides of the markers and soak them in cologne to prolong their life. I also remember the delicious-smelling erasers—melon and grape flavored. Every child of the nineties who had such an eraser bit it at least once because it smelled so good. And the pen that wrote in different colors—it was automatic! I still love stationery, even though I try to stop myself, because I don't really need anything—I have everything. But still, every now and then, I buy something.
