As I mentioned in my last post, I haven’t had much time to do anything with the site. I also didn’t have much time to work on paper sample packs. I’m happy to say that all sample packs are now back in stock! Check out the shop if you’d like to pick one up. One change that’s been made to …
Happy Fountain Pen Day, Everyone! It has been absolutely ages since I last posted anything, but I have most definitely been using my fountain pens on a daily basis. So why have I been MIA? The main reason is that I have been swamped with work. If you don’t already know, I’m a wedding photographer and these past few months …
Lamy pens, specifically the Safari and AL-Star, tend to get mixed reviews from people. It’s not because of the pens themselves and how they write, but because of the pen design and the uniquely-shaped grip. Before I owned one, I was squarely in the “don’t like them” camp, but then I received one as a gift and quickly realized what …
Last year my brother gave me a Lemome notebook as a gift. I had never heard of the brand before and, from what I can tell, it is only sold on Amazon. Of course, with any notebook that I’ve never tried before, I was curious as to how it would perform with fountain pens. The paper is surprisingly thick, but …
The Kaweco AL Sport is one of the smallest pens that I own. It’s also one of the only all-metal pens that I own. While it may be an outlier in many ways, it’s also one of the pens that I almost always have inked up. What makes it a go-to pen for me? Let’s take a closer look. Kaweco …
Last year I had the opportunity to review the Pebble Stationery Co Sakura Sumiko notebook. This year I was contacted again to see if I had an interest in reviewing their newest limited-edition notebook, The Antartica. While I don’t use pocket-sized notebooks as often as larger notebooks, this one was too pretty to pass up, so let’s take a closer …
Many of you may know that I have a shop on this site that sells sample packs of fountain-pen-friendly paper. As a fountain pen user, this is something that I originally wanted for myself but wasn’t able to find, so I created it. Now I’m back with another item that no one else seems to offer, but I think many …
If you’re just getting started in the world of fountain pens, choosing which nib is best for you can be completely overwhelming. There are different nib materials, nib sizes, grinds and manufacturers to sort through. Even I get overwhelmed just thinking about it. Still, I’m here for you. In this article I want to go over some of the more …
Paper is something that I think about fairly often, but surprisingly I had never given much thought as to how the notebooks that are sitting on my desk get designed. As far as I knew, they were designed by elves. Well, I don’t know any elves, but I do know Rachel, and she designed a notebook! Specifically, she is the …
Profolio has been releasing some great notebooks in the past few years. There was the Oasis, then the Oasis Light, both of which are very nice. The Profolio Oasis Summit is the newest notebook in the Oasis lineup. While it has some features that may easily make it a favorite for people who bullet journal, it might just turn out …
