Tax Free Weekend Starts Now!


It's been a few years (ahem) since I was in school, but back-to-school time is still exciting! Anyone who knows me KNOWS that I love the scent of pencil shavings more than freshly baked cookies. I have a real weakness for school supplies. New school supplies = new beginning.

That's why Tax-Free Weekend is big news! Today (8/21) through Sunday (8/23) retailers throughout Texas will not charge sales tax on clothes, footwear, backpacks and other school supplies priced under $100. For a complete list of qualifying items, click here:


Anything is possible when you have a new pencil...Happy Shopping!

  1. Try looking for California Republic PALOMINO pencils. You can only get them on line; but they are great pencils. They are actually sold by a company in California that supplies the incense cedar wood for pencils, California Cedar Products Company.

  2. Oh, the temptation...maybe Santa Claus will place a pack of Palomino pencils under the tree for me.
