Pens and Things
2020 Daily Calendars
We have a few new calendar and dated products in this year, and since we’ve never carried these sort of daily wall calendars, so I thought I would share a few more photos.
The Superior Labor Bear Cub
Some moons (several months) ago now I came across this leather bear cub made by Superior Labor and, well. Here I am now.
Everyday Carry with the Superior Labor A5 Portfolio
When I was a teacher, I specifically applied to schools within walking distance of where I lived because I thought it would be great and important and easier to live in the community in which I taught, which was definitely true, but nothing compares to living upstairs from your shop - especially in the winter.
New Collaboration from Superior Labor: Pen and Wallet Case*
We just received in one of our most exciting shipments of the year! We're pretty early on, but I think it's safe to say this will be a highlight for us for in 2018. Our A5 and A4 Portfolios from Superior Labor are one of our most asked-about items in the shop - the workmanship and quality from Superior Labor show through, and we get requests and questions from around the world.
Maruman Mnemosyne
After a long time of waiting for this shipment to arrive, we finally have our newest paper line on the shelves: Maruman Mnemosyne notebooks and pads.
New Inks! Kyo No Oto + Kyo Iro Inks from Japan
Introducing our newest inks: the Kyo No Oto and Kyo Iro lines from Japan! We received samples of these inks months ago, and it was a thrill to open the package up and see these beautiful boxes and bottles with new colours, testing them out with our team.
Lamy Petrol Bottled Ink + Cartridges
For 2017, Lamy released a special edition Al-Star, the Pacific, with matching turquoise ink, and also a special edition Safari, the Petrol. The fountain pen is a dark teal colour, with a matte texture and matching black trim - and the ink is also a great match for the name and the pen.
Pilot Custom 92
It's been too long since I last took a look a fountain pen on the blog! A bit out of distraction and disorganization, with our recent trip, and other things going on in the shop, but here is one of my all time favourite pens: the Pilot Custom 92. It's a piston filler with a smooth and wet 14K nib.
