August in Texas signals the slow end to summer- that gleeful time of year where parents celebrate the return of the kiddos to the classroom. As store shelves fill with fresh school supplies parents and grandparents can be overheard reminiscing about their own school days. Fond memories of beloved teachers, playground rituals and of course- treasured supplies!
These Etsy sellers are ready to greet the nostalgic and keep the flames of yesteryear burning bright.
