What art supplies have you bought recently?

Not bought. Went to one of my custom physical shops to get a Roman Szmal Aquarius watercolor starter set (the one with five full godets, love it for pocket carry) but they were sold out. Thankfully I still have some left. Not much saved anyway (runs for 10-15€).

By the way, they had a gorgeous tin pocket set by Roman Szmal with integrated water bottle, palette, etc. similar to those of Winsor and Newton or Horadam; pricewise too, which saved me from getting one, it was so neat, so tempting, so pretty, so handy... my mouth's still watering. Must be a recent new offer in their lineup, because I don't seem to be able to find any info on the Net.

Anyway, I got the impression it carried half-pans instead of full pans, though the salesman said they were full pans. Worth knowing it is out there.

I found some good deals:

16 Pan Pastels for $2ea. Some are shattered.
60 CarbOthello pastel pencils for $35. No packaging.
A 12x15 pad of Grey Pastelmat paper for $25. Slight damage on one corner and no cover.
Four packs of Sofftool knives and covers, along with three each blending sponges for $5ea. Slightly used for demos.
A beautiful fabric Vera Bradley laptop organizer for $3. I have a couple of these and I sometimes use them for a tray of Pan Pastels, paper and other Plein Aire supplies if I'm traveling very light...plus they're girly and match my favorite plein aire sundress...
