Review: Benu Pixie Pocket Plum Cream Fountain Pen
For the longest time I’d been meaning to add a bit of Benu sparkle to my pen collection, but with so many beautiful options, I’d never settled on one. But when they announced their new line of pocket pens – the Pixie Pocket – there was one colourway that stood out to me, and that… Read more

The Northern UK Pen Show 2025
Last year I went to the Northern Pen Show (my first time going to a pen show!) and had a really great time. I’d hoped to get to one of the other 2024 UK pen shows later in the year as well, but sadly I wasn’t able to. So I was super excited for the… Read more

Review: Esterbook x TheCoffeeMonsterzCo Estie Fountain Pen
An Esterbrook Estie has been on my fountain pen wishlist for a while, but I’d never settled on which one to get.

My Stationery Goals for 2025
Happy New Year! 2024 seems to have gone by in a flash, and I can’t believe we’re now in 2025! I always really like the energy and sense of possibility New Year gives, and like a lot of people, it’s the time of year I think most about the future, and my goals. I have… Read more

My 2024 Stationery Favourites: Part 1
2024 was my first full year in the fountain pen hobby, the year I got into planners and the year I joined the online stationery community. So it’s fair to say it was a big year for me, and an expensive year, as I fell down a lot of rabbit holes! As you can imagine,… Read more
