This brand caught my eye while I was scrolling instagram. They hit most of the right buttons for me. They're made in both B5 and A4 sizes. They're bright and colorful. They have a hardbound cover, and plain cream paper. BUT, could I used my fountain pens with them? I was crossing my fingers on … Continue reading Emilio Braga Notebook
So I love pens. I love writing with them and drawing with them, plain and simple. But finding the right flex pen I've learned is quite difficult. Having used calligraphy dip pens for some time, I've become very picky when it comes to flex nibs. If it doesn't make that ultra thin line on the … Continue reading Why The Conklin Duraflex Fountain Pen Isn’t For Me
I love any company that will offer up a free ink with the purchase of a pen. And thats what the Birmingham Pen Company was doing when I purchased this orange delight.

So I was looking for a Urushi Pen, but I didn't just want any old one, lol. (As if any Urushi pen could be anything less than stellar regardless of where it came from). What I mean is, I wanted one that was custom, and handmade. There are two small pen companies that I've come … Continue reading Review: Urushi Emperor Fountain Pen by Artus Pens

Sailor pens to me, are like a constant treasure hunt, they hide they're most interesting pens on remote Japanese websites that you have to search for. Which is where I found this pen. Instagram … Continue reading Sailor MitaClub Original – Shooting Star of Jonuma Fountain Pen
So Stone paper. Yea, it exists. I'm a big fan of uber smooth paper. My favorite ultra smooth paper is the Apica C.D. Premium paper, and it works well with most fountain pens. So I wanted to try stone paper because ultra smooth is one of the characteristics for it. I also heard that it … Continue reading Pictostone – The Stone Paper Notebook
I didn't really know what I was getting with the Paper Saver Notebook. I mean I understood that you placed your own scrap paper inside of it, and I thought that sounded like a very good idea so I knew I wanted to try one. As you can see, the notebook is very plain and … Continue reading The Paper Saver Notebook
I already wrote about the Hippo Noto and my thoughts on it, so I won't really bore you with that all over again. But I didn't really post comparison pictures about it. So I thought I would do that with the Brown version, just to give you a better idea of it's size. Although I'm … Continue reading Hippo Noto Notebook – Brown
So I found myself recently with a whole bunch of ink samples and nowhere to put them. What's a gal to do? In the middle of moving to a new home, I didn't really want to throw all my ink samples in a bag and carry them, rattling around. Anything could happen, what if one … Continue reading Test Tube Rack for Ink Samples
