Giveaway! Bleu Ocean, Stormy Grey & Rouge Hematite

Hello!
My favourite out of these three is definitely the Stormy Grey. The contrast between the coal grey colour and the flecks of gold is to die for. I’m moving to Montreal in the summer, but I’m stopping by Toronto first, so I’m super excited to drop in your new store :)

So far I have only been an online customer, though am overdue for a visit to Toronto and will definitely come to the store when I am next there. I love J. Herbin inks and am slowly collecting their different colours. Of the special anniversary inks, I have only had a chance to try the Stormy Grey. It’s fabulous, and from what I can see of the other two, they are as well. Hope I can see for myself before too long.

Congratulations on the move, and very best wishes for the new location.

Congratulations on the new location. Oh, Blue all the way.

Hey, congratulations on your new shop. I’m too far away (Haliburton) to visit, but since I’ve just discovered your site, I’ll take advantage of Canadian shopping/shipping. Long term journallist — and re-discovering FPs in the last year or so; what a pleasure to write with, so much less tiring than ball points and gels. I’m even experimenting with dip pens so I can use a variety of colours without having to ink up a new pen each time.

I have not yet seen the new store and have yet to try any Herbin inks. Hopefully this is a great chance to kill two birds with one stone!

Love the new store, even though it’s more roomy than before, it still feels cozy.
I’m really considering starting some journal writing with my new pens!

After the reformulation, I’m looking forward to the new (and improved!) Bleu Ocean. The weather this weekend was very gloomy with downpour throughout the day, so I’ve been staying dry and playing with my pups indoors. Thankfully they don’t like getting wet much either.

Congratulations on the move! The weather here in London has been hot, then cool, then rainy, then cold. It looks like it will be getting hot again.

I love your posts and although it is difficult for me, Ihope to be able to make a trip to your store. I have dabbled with calligraphy, fountain pens and inks over the years. I absolutely love the beautiful blue ink. Never seen any thing quite like it. Congratulations on your new location!

I am very new to fountain pens and I am a big fan of the new bleu ocean. I only went to your old store once and have now been to the new store. What a great space and neighborhood. Today it is raining and so hanging out inside, making inserts for my fauxdori but recently it has been wonderful days to spend with my 4 year old at the park near cherry beach. Thanks for the opportunity and can’t wait to see new stock coming to the store.

I can’t decide which ink I like most … I do like the bottles though ^^. Stopped by the store, and it’s definitely a lot bigger than the old place. I bought my first piston filler pen recently at your store (TWSBI). Warm weather? What’s that? :P It was pretty chilly and rainy today.

Ooohhhh, hello there :) stormy grey all the way! I’ve been enjoying some great sunshine and about 16 degrees up here in northern Ontario! Was snowing yesterday though!

You must be so happy to finally be done with the move and having everything in one place! Good luck with finding the unavoidable little things still hiding in boxes (or boxes hiding in corners) here and there…
All three of those inks look awesome. I’d be delighted to have the opportunity to write letters using such lovely inks!

Summer so far is good and i like the blue one best!

I can’t wait to visit your store and stock up on some good quality pens and paper <3

I recently heard about your shop from my Wife who works close by and am really looking forward to visiting soon. These square ink bottles have a beautiful aesthetic, with the rope and wax decal, and I can’t wait to try them out.

Best of luck with the new location!

Haven’t tried…still quite a newbie. Would love to win and try. Thanks for the chance.

I am so excited to try the new bleu ocean, I already have the other two, and it is so difficult to decide which one is my favourite, but I think I use Stormy grey more, I’m just waiting for the right pen to clean out so that I can ink up Rouge Hematite again. I’m so glad that so far you’re happy with the move.

I live a few blocks away from 906 Dundas St W, so when I first read on your blog that you guys were moving further down east, I was really saddened by the news. But looking at the pictures and comments, I’m glad that the both of you have made progress. Since Toronto is currently experiencing some heavy downpour, I’ll wait until Mr. Blue Sky comes back so I can visit your new store – I’ve been wanting to special order something, so I can’t wait for the awesome trip (though I also love the rain as it gives a crisp air and makes the landscapes look more vibrant after, if you understand what I mean).
J. Herbin makes incredible fountain pen ink. I was dazzled by how their shadings can be of different color, especially the Rouge Hematite – my favorite ink from the brand since it was the first that got me mesmerized (red and gold!). And Stormy Grey – who would’ve thought a monochrome colour can look so enchanting? I know an English teacher who loves blue ink, so maybe the Bleu Ocean would be perfect for his retirement present.

Of the three inks, I’ve only tried Rouge Hematite and Stormy Grey so far. I love the gold they lay down in a flex pen, and I’m definitely looking forward to sampling Bleu Ocean because of that too :)

We are so lucky to have a shop like Wonder Pens in Canada; where else would we get J. Herbin inks and various iterations of Clairefontaine paper on which to use it! I’ve always loved J. Herbin’s blues, and I’m ecstatic to see that they put this wonderful new blue in a container that (finally) rivals the beautiful Iroshizuku hand-blown glass. I haven’t yet had the opportunity to try this ink out, so thank you so much for the opportunity to potentially do so for free!

This is a great idea for a giveaway, I love the Bleu Ocean and the way the blue and gold compliment each other so well. I was so glad to come across WonderPens when I was introduced to fountain pens. I love being able to order from a local family business. I can’t wait until I get a chance to see the new space!

Hello fellow writers,
My favourite is the Blue Ocean by far followed by Stormy Grey with Rouge Hemitite bring up the rear. I love that blue Ocean is so saturated and that you can see the sheen almost all the time even with finer nibs. My fav combo is to have it in with a Blue Lamy Safari with a 1.1 italic nib.

I am super excited to visit your new shop! (especially now that you’re about half the distance away than you used to be lol).

I love Stormy Grey – the sparkle is unreal. Unfortunately the version of rouge hematite i got was the non-sparkle one. Thanks for the opportunity!!

Welcome to the east side! I can’t wait to swing by this week and check out the new space! I haven’t tried any of these inks – have only purchased the noodles and Lamy cartridges before, but I look forward to testing them out. They are beautifully packaged! Thanks for the opportunity!

i cannot wait to be back in toronto and make a stop at your new shop at last! very excited to come (and drag along some friends who are now expressing interest in fountain pens after listening to me ramble about them all the time) (: i haven’t had a chance to try these inks out yet – i’ve barely opened my new iroshizuku and noodler’s inks – but this giveaway is so lovely of you to do. thank you so much!

Really excited to visit the new shop!
Haven’t tried any J. Herbin inks yet but that’s definitely on my to-do list!

The rouge hematite would give my horror writing a nice macabre feel :) Can’t wait to see your new place!

I think based on colour I like the Bleu Ocean, just because of the gorgeous blue with the shimmering gold in it. Thanks for the giveaway and I’m excited to pay a visit to the store! :)

I’ve never used never used any of the anniversary inks, but I do like other J. Herbin inks such as Vert Olive and Violette Pensé. Congrats on the new location, I’m hoping to drop by this weekend.

I ordered my first fountain pen and ink from you this spring and am enjoying using them….I am anxious to visit your new shop. It sounds wonderful. My first ink is brown, I think the red sounds quite delicious for my next venture. Best wishes.

Hi there, I hope everything continues to go smoothly at your shop! All three inks are stunning. The pictures of Bleu Ocean remind me of sunlight scattered over waves.

Bleu Ocean would definitely be my favourite. Although Rouge Hematite is a nice colour it’s hard to use it in everyday writing.

Rouge hématite – a great red. Would love another bottle :)

Love both stormy grey and bleu ocean! Although think stormy grey would be my go to as something a bit special. Loving being able to walk outside without a zillions layers!
Enjoy your new location and look forward to visiting the shop!

Stormy grey and blue ocean both look amazing! Enjoy your new location and look forward to visiting your shop!

Have heard a lot about these inks. Haven’t gotten around to buying one. Hope I win. Congratulations on the move!

Perhaps it is good I don’t live in a province with fountain pens. I would buy too many inks and pens!

Hello,I like Stormy Grey,something different…I’m working on real estate course and was hoping to finish before summer,now it got a bit delate maybe I’ll take small vacation in warm weather like these before the course starts,lol

Hello!
My favourite is Stormy Grey. It’s good to read that you are settling in and people are finding you. I’ve been spending the warm days with my 14 week old puppy ~ in particular helping her beat the heat by slowly adding water (over the course of the day) to a wading pool on the deck. She plays with the water stream and jumps about splashing happily, having a blast, and I am always laughing at soggy dog antics ..especially when she decides I’m still dry and she is going to fix that problem immediately! The Water is then scooped out in the evening to water the garden…a chore she also helps with …
:D

Although its been rainy today, I was tempted to walk to the new location. You’re now so close to home, that I’m going to be broke the day after payday each week! LOL Welcome to the neighborhood Wonder Pens. My ink choice would be Stormy Grey, definitely! : )

Sparkles. Sparkles, sparkles, SPARKLES!!! I can’t wait to try them all!! :))

I think the rouge hematite is my favourite, although I’d be equally thrilled to try out one of the other two!

please enter me I’d love to try the blue ocean !

Hello Jon, Liz, Super and baby Wonderpens :) Congratulations on the move. You guys definitely made me a fountain pen addict. Thanks for creating Wonder Pens for us Canadians and keep up the good work! I can’t wait to see more wonderful pens (pun intended!), inks, papers and everything else in between to be added to your shop.

Oh and I love the Stormy Grey & am really crushing on the Rouge Hematite :)

Congrats on your new location. It’s been a stormy few days here in southeast BC. My favourite, the stormy grey, would match our skies right now. I’m not complaining about the weather because it has been exceptionally dry here this spring. We need the rain. Good luck in your new location.

Congrats on the move! Glad to see that everything went relatively well.

I already own Stormy Grey but Rouge Hematite has been on my want-to-try list for a while.

I’ve been eyeing that Stormy Grey for awhile! I’m glad the new shop is working out so far. I can’t wait to see how you fill up such a nice, large space!

blue is my favourite ink colour for fountain pens though I’d like to try them all. Good luck with the new shop – I look forward to visiting.
