Winter Ink Shipping + Diamine + New Steel Blue

It's getting chillier and chillier, and we're close to reaching that time of year when we start to think more closely about how we ship our ink. As a shop, we've been doing a bit of planning and forecasting in bringing in ink shipments before it gets too cold - we've had our warehouse area covered in styrofoam peanuts and with bottles of ink everywhere.

J. Herbin 1670 Anniversary Ink - Caroube de Chypre

The long awaited Caroube de Chypre, the brown 1670 ink from J. Herbin, has arrived! I had (and still have) a whole bunch of blog posts in the queue, some of which I had ideally wanted done before we leave on our trip but now may never happen given my organizational skills.
