I first saw this ink swatched at Wonderpens in Toronto and I was much intrigued, but it was sold out at the time so I couldn't purchase it. Incidentally I forgot about it until I was perusing Amazon and I saw it listed for $25. The price teeters on the edge of where I draw … Continue reading Platinum Ink: Lavender Black
The Easter egg hunt continues with the Sailor Nonble Night Blue Fountain pen. The list of Sailor Special Edition Pens is long, much longer than I could have ever expected. And you really never know when you're going to find one. This one was found on Ebay, but you gotta snatch them quick because they're … Continue reading Sailor Nonble Night Blue
This pen has been on my wishlist for some time and yet I never seriously considered purchasing it until recently. Not because I couldn't afford to purchase it, and not because I didn't think it was a beautiful pen, but because when I look at the Lamy Dialog 3, I could either see myself loving … Continue reading Review: Lamy Dialog 3 Piano White
So I've said before that I'm on the search for the perfect flex pen. I know that nothing will come as close to the perfection of a dip pen with a Nikko G, or a Blue Pumpkin, or my personal favorite the Brause 66 nib. Not unless you use those nibs on a fountain pen, … Continue reading The Vintage Flex Pen – Waterman
So with the new year comes a new Bullet Journal, for those of us who Bujo. My 2018 Bujo was the original Leuchtturm and since I'm such a fan I wanted to try the next notebook up by the same brand. Turns out for once I didn't have to buy a notebook online at Amazon, … Continue reading Leuchttrum1917 Special Edition Red Dots Notebook
As an avid bullet journaler I'm always looking for ways to decorate my monthly, or weekly spreads. Sometimes I want it to be very simple, while other times I want it to be a little bit more artistic. And as much as I love to draw, it just takes too damn long. I have to … Continue reading Shout Out: The Stickerrific Store
When I was a kid my Dad bought me a glass pen from a road side vendor in Venice Italy, but I had no idea what to do with it. I didn't really understand the idea of dipping the nib in ink and writing with it. It was a beautiful pen made of blue glass … Continue reading FireSider Glass: The Implosion Grip Jellyfish Pen
I wish I would have known about the Sailor Cocktail Series pens, years ago. The Sailor Blue Lagoon is one of the prettiest pens I've ever seen and apparently a whole lot of people felt the same way, because that beauty is gone for good. Luckily Tequila Sunrise was not. I think it's safe to … Continue reading Sailor Cocktail Series: Tequila Sunrise
I've been on a major Sailor kick lately. I've written with a large selection of pens, and there are always two brands that really stand out to me. One of which is Sailor. When I found out that Sailor did these special edition collaborations with other brands, my mind was immediately blown. And I cried … Continue reading Sailor Pen Point Blue Hawaii
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
