Noodler's Black Swan in English Roses
It's been a while since I've talked about a new ink on the blog! It's not for lack of trying new inks, I think I've just been a bit distracted by all the other things going on in the shop.
New Life Japanese Stationery Products
Life Stationery has been around since the 1940s in Japan, and they've been making notebooks for school children, professional workplaces, agendas, certificates, correspondence, official envelopes with Japanese templates on the front, calligraphy presentation paper, and all sorts of stuff.
Edison Pearlette - Aztec Gold Flake
We've got lots and lots of new things trickling down the pipeline, and I can hardly keep track! Actually, that's not true, because we have you know, lists and things here.
Reviving Old Pens in Your Collection
As a pen clerk, I have the pretty great responsibility of getting to know each of the pens we carry, and some of the ones we don't.

We've got a few exciting projects and things in the works planned out for the next few months, and this is the first of them! We're now carrying the Pilot Falcon fountain pen. I know, I know: good grief, finally.
The Vac Mini (+ Other Shop Updates)
I have been looking forward to these Vac Minis for as long as I can remember. I get excited now and then for new pen arrivals, but I have to say this is the most exciting thing we've ever received from TWSBI.
My Vintage Parker True Blue Lucky Curve
A special treat today! I don't normally share too much about vintage pens, mainly because I don't have too many and really because I don't know too much about the ones I have.
