Throwback Thursday: My 1983 Pencil Box

My Mom really kept things that were precious to me when I was a child. A few months ago I found the pencil box I used when I was a second grader.

I super loved it because it had extra compartments. Back then you were considered "rich" and special when your pencil case had a gazillion compartments. Mine only had 3, but I was ecstatic about it.

It wasn't the best case in my class, but I was happy with it. I used it for years until I got a nice tin pencil box from Tito Mon and Tita Lydia. I also used that for years.

I kept the pencil box for a few months more. It's nostalgic and gave me a warm, fuzzy feeling. I finally gave it up last week during our decluttering session. I just took photos and made this blog post to preserve the happy memories I had with it.
