J. Herbin 1798 Amethyste de l'Oural

Christmas Inks
I think one of my favourite parts about fountain pens is the fact that you can fill and refill and change the colour of your ink.

Pilot Iroshizuku Inks - Full Line in 50 mL + the Mini Bottles

Iroshizuku Minis
We got in a few of these Iroshizuku 15 mL sets. Maybe it's because I'm a small fish in a world made for regular sized people, but I have a thing for mini sized things. It's just so nice when things are appropriately sized - meal portions, chairs, clothes, 15mL Iroshizuku bottles.
