The TWSBI rose golds—580 Smoke Rose Gold and Mini White Rose Gold—released this year are beauties.

We did not get a Christmas tree for the shop for the first time ever. It was both because trees were expensive this year, and also because it seemed a bit pathetic with no customers in the shop. It has been a hairy year.

There’s not much to say about these things. They’re sticky. They’re sort of vague which makes them perfect for sticking on things without having too much rhyme or reason. Family calendars, lunchbox notes, journaling or planners, snail mail. Here are a few photos of them. You can find them on the website here. I’m enjoying the satisfying pile of them on my desk as I peel off one here or there for putting into my notebooks.

The latest Blackwing Volumes has arrived! Volume 6 is the Small Business pencil. We are here for it. Two colours of pencils, inspired by the neon lights of shop signs. Soft graphite, and a matte finish. What a great Final volumes edition of the year.
