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
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 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.

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

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
The Twsbi Eco was my very first demonstrator pen. The idea that a pen can change color with new ink, warms my fickle heart. So Twsbi is a pen brand that I like to keep up with. I saw the Twsbi Go launch on their instagram page and I thought it looked cute, fun, and … Continue reading Review: Twsbi GO!

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
