Are you a stationery spotter? Are you addicted to stylish pens or beautiful notebooks with artistic cover designs?<\/p>\n
There are probably millions of us out there, but few can beat Angelika Unverhau from Dinslaken in Germany who has more than 220,000 ballpoint pens.<\/p>\n
Angelika has been collecting unusual pens since she was a girl, but her hobby really took off in 1990. She has since founded a club for ballpoint pen collectors who meet twice a year to trade pens.
\nAnother self-confessed stationery addict is Chris Leonard-Morgan, organiser of National Stationery Week (which started this week! March 31 – April 6).<\/p>\n
Chris said he became an addict in later life. <\/p>\n
\u201cI realise that my interest in stationery probably took root many years before when I was a boy and my mother gave me a Parker 51 for passing an important exam. <\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t remember much about the exam, but I\u2019ll never forget the excitement of receiving that pen.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince then, stationery and pens have played a big and useful part in my life. Day in, day out, at home, at work… They are always there, the dependable unsung heroes of my professional and private life.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I sold my last business, it was to my trusty 51 that I turned for signing the contract. So many of life\u2019s milestones and defining moments in history are marked with pens and stationery.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
