🆕 Two new pens in the rotation for the next two weeks

I finally got a Kaweco Sport fountain pen and I am excited to use this classic pen. The other new pen is the Jinhao 82

I've had the Liliput on my mind lately for some reason, so I decided to ink that up, as well as an M400 that I recently lent out for hire.

🫟 What are you thinking of the ink combination?

The blue is watered down, but I like the earthy tones with the ‘pastel’!

I had an interview yesterday at a stationery shop and I was asked a very cool question.

“Sell me a pen,” I was asked. So I got some info from the interviewer; they said they:

✅ Like a fine point
✅ Need a lot of ink
✅ Wanted a fountain pen

I suggested a Pilot 823. Japanese pens have finer nibs, it’s a vacuum filling pen, and (err) it’s a fountain pen!

Anyone would have suggested anything else?

🫣 I accidentally bought a pen.. it happens!

In the ten years that I’ve been into the pen hobby, I’ve never had a Kaweco Sport and recently I’ve been contemplating remedying this fact

(Never owned a Safari either.. maybe the next on my list?)

👨🏻‍⚖️ Saw this pen on eBay for a good price, put a bid and forgot about it until I got a notification telling me I won the auction!

Have you ever ‘accidentally’ bought a pen?

It’s #StapleDay!

💥 I love it when staples are coated, rather than just being a regular chrome colour; these black ones help make the luminous orange gridlines POP

It has taken me 22 days to get here.. a hairline above a page a day!

I find that staple days are great to take stock of what’s written and rediscover ideas, thoughts, and the occasional doodle

What’s your process for filtering through notebooks?

📕 It’s here!

My Quo Vadis notebook came on the weekend and I’m super excited to dive into it and create a new system

🤪 Life is busy at the moment and I don’t think I’ll get round to it until next week, but the thought of sitting down with pens sprawled in front of me and a good beverage to accompany me feels like the light at the end of the tunnel

(I couldn’t help but at least mark my territory on it for now..)
