The (Discontinued) Kaweco Sport Luxe Fountain Pen

The (Discontinued) Kaweco Sport Luxe Fountain Pen

A few weeks ago, we paid a visit to our Kaweco distributors out in Burlington (more on that to come soon! including photos!), and it was great to see and hold and feel some of Kaweco pens we don't regularly carry.

A Tale of Two Diamines + a Sale on Diamine Inks

A Tale of Two Diamines + a Sale on Diamine Inks

Caleb has learned how to climb onto chairs and then onto the kitchen table, so Jon has been hiding all of our chairs during the day. He's basically smarter than the dog, now. I read that really intelligent dogs are a match for 2-3 year olds, but I think it's official that our dog is not the sharpest extra fine point in the pen roll.

Gotamago's Lichia Liu + a Dim Sum Calendar

Lots and lots and lots is going on here, I can hardly keep up! I'm hoping to write a blog post soon on everything that's happening, but for today, I'm sharing a bit more about a line that we've carried for about a year now - Gotamago's line of greeting cards, created by Lichia Liu right here in Toronto.

Empty Ink Bottles

I hope you all had a great weekend! Ours seemed like a busier one than usual, so it was nice to wind down a bit on Monday, with the shop closed.

Happy Friday! It's been a busy week, and I think it's only going to get busier as we head into the holidays.

What's in my Pen Roll

What's in my Pen Roll

Happy Friday! With the long weekend coming up, I hope you have some exciting Thanksgiving plans, whether it's turkey with family, or a long date with Netflix and some Indian take-out (I took a walk with Caleb all the way to the Gerrard India Bazaar and after smelling all that delicious Indian food I have been craving Butter Chicken like crazy ever since).

Shop Update: Waterman Inks

Shop Update: Waterman Inks

I hope you're all having a great weekend, despite the gloomy weather today! I went to drop off some library books in the afternoon, but got caught in the thunderstorm, so Caleb and I hung out in the library in the kids area with some pre-teens trading magic cards for an hour.

Iroshizuku Minis

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.
