Let us honor the stationery that served us well, and is in a better place than when we had it.
Post what you've used up in this thread as a service to it and to encourage others to use up their supplies on hand. Maybe someone can help you find some more of it, or if you want to recommend it (or not!).
Please try to keep this meaningful by not posting absolutely everything you've used up. Posted items should carry a little significance. For instance, posting that you used a box of 25 "thank you" cards is something we should celebrate here; posting that you used a standalone greeting card isn't.
I'll start: A roll of green washi tape that looked like treetops gave up the ghost while I was decorating an envelope. I would buy that one again if 3M made it and if I didn't buy six other rolls at The Huntington last month.

I love the idea of this! I’m close to using up a few things, and will certainly commemorate them here, when they are gone.
RIP to your tree washi tape.

I've managed to use up a few rolls of washi recently... I'm trying to be good and not get replacements for them (yet).

And yet another roll of washi is used up... I've been good on the washi front, not bought replacements!

Over the past few days I've killed off two sheets of domestic stamps (blue airmail and American Gardens), plus a Pilot Envelope Address Writing Pen. I have more of the airmail stamps and would buy more if they were available. I had only one sheet of American Gardens and they weren't doing anything for me. The Pilot envelope pen was nice, but extra-fine Sharpies do the same job for cheaper. I also have one roll of washi tape that will likely bite the dust tomorrow, and a 100-sheet pad of Mead writing tablet will meet its demise shortly thereafter (if not the same time), and my last book of cactus flowers stamps is down to just two stamps. I won't replace the washi tape, but I would replace the cactus flowers stamps if I could, and I have another six pads of Mead writing tablet. A Uniball Signo UM-151 gel pen in lavender-black is also on its last legs, but it is not going down without a fight. |

Just one sheet left in an A5 pad of Clairefontaine Triomphe lined. I do have spare! Also finished up two more rolls of washi. Not intending to replace (yet).

I miss the old onion skin paper that we used to get. I have searched everywhere but can not find it!

Finished three rolls of washi tape over the past couple of days. Rest in peace... I still have a cartload of new ones to use!

More washi used up, looked at some replacements but have not bought (yet).
Discovered a hairline crack in a couple of the cheaper fountain pens, but as they've got ink in, I'm going to use the ink up first before consigning to the stationery graveyard.

There have been several new “graves” added to the Stationery Graveyard here the last few days. First up, was a roll of gardening-themed washi tape, then a sheet of Mighty Mississippi stamps, then a sheet of International daisy stamps, and a sheet of Brush Rabbit stamps, too. Lastly, was one of my favorite packs of stationery, which featured envelopes, ink, and dip pen designs on the paper (used the last sheets on a letter to Bob here, no less), I’ll miss that pretty paper.
It’s not that I wrote particularly much the last few days (I barely had time to write at all), but apparently, I was just down to the last bit on all these things.
