Sailor North American Special Edition: Pirate’s Life
The new Sailor Pirate’s Life 1911L and 1911S are here! I am so here for this edition. I’ve noncommittally declared myself a gold-trim-only person in life, and this one is perfect. This is another North American special edition, so we’ll have them while we have them. What a beauty! This colour is fall and golden and warm and everything I need right now.
Naomi has started preschool, and Caleb is about to start his school soon enough. I’m slowly mentally preparing myself for this new season of life, wallowing in the usual existential despair, all the flavours of a pandemic and empty nesting and imminent winter creating a delicious stew. I watched the Raptors in double overtime in their Game 6 and I thought I was going to have a hernia. Life swings wild.
But while I have Caleb, I have roped him into helping me fill my new pen. He arrived to his bat signal shirtless, cape on, and some sort of illustrated paper emblem taped to his chest, but I convinced him to get dressed.
Coincidentally, it’s a fantastic match for our now sold out special edition Superior Labor Ochre portfolios and pen and wallet cases.
These beauties! Nothing like having a new and bright pen in your pen roll.

You know, I think you’re right. Perhaps with the extra days of quarantine, it’s been a bit of grace extended to its readers. I can use all the grace I can get these days! :)

Oh no! Pelham Blue is such a great colour. A nice solid blue with a hint of muted-ness to it. We are expecting our Diamine shipment to come in soon, although I’m not sure if Pelham Blue will have been in stock on it. You can always email orders@wonderpens.ca if you’d like someone to sign you up for an email notification when it comes back in!

Nice looking pen. I am however sad that there is no Diamine Pelham Blue to be had in Canada right now in full bottles. :-(

If any consolation, I think TPL is not actually charging fines right now …
but then again I always think of the fines as just an extra donation to the amazing library.

I have dropped a very broad hint to Santa (i.e. emailed him the link to the product page!). What a gorgeously bright cheerful colour it is!

Beautiful! Would love to get one. Which model is that light blue Sailor 1911 in the second-last photo? It’s a lovely blue.
