Paper brads Waxed stamp envelopes (You don't need them but I have hundreds of them scattered around the house!) Sharpies to write on those waxed stamp envelopes when you decide to use them as mini envelopes to attach to postcards Is it time to stage an intervention for Gary for his postcard alteration addiction?

Probably well past time but I scattered the last batch all over Muskogee, OK so my local mail carrier wouldn't complain too much. I'm trying to send out mail from 20 different locations (old Lettermo category) and I got 9 today

Wow.... I only have/do a few of those crazy things. Does hypergraphia or graphomania count?
Wait! All the clerks at my local PO enter a state of euphoria when I come in, and they pull up a chair when I step up to the counter....

A variety of line guide sheets for different scripts and moods (sometimes I want to write big, sometimes small).
Leather portfolio (preferably smooth and stiff as a writing surface) with stationery sheets, envelopes, blotter, and stamps. I use it when I am traveling, usually take along any letters that were in my inbox to reply to.
Blotters

Spends more time choosing the perfect slant lap desk than choosing clothing. Has stationery, envelopes and washi tape in a coordinating motif.

After reading through these fun posts, I realized I don't have a special letter opener. I spent HOURS looking at hundreds of letter openers and then remembered I had an old heavy butter knife I'd bought at a crafts fair stamped with the word "Oregano" on the handle. The idea is, you're supposed to use in your garden as a marker. Well, that never happened. Now we'll see how it works on envelopes.
What do you use to open your mail?

Now I want to use my Swiss Army Knife. But I covet the letter openers I see at antique shops, they're daintier.

69 working fountain pens. 61 bottles of ink. You're definitely running low then. Those February letters clearly wiped you out and it must be time to stock back up again. 😂🤣😂🤣😂

69 working fountain pens. 61 bottles of ink. A nice solid collection you have there! I was running out of ink, so bought 2 large bottles of a Diamine blue and a Diamine purple from jetpens. While I was at it, I bought another Lamy. While we are in isolation mode at home, I wanted to make sure that I had enough supplies on hand, so that I could continue to write letters.
