Review: Kaweco Art Sport Hickory Brown Fountain Pen
I’d had my eye on the Kaweco Art Sport fountain pens since their release, but could never really justify spending almost £100 on what was basically another plastic Kaweco Sport. Yes, unlike the regular Sports the Art Sports are acrylic, and they have stunning patterns on them, and a built-in clip, but the price still… Read more

Review: Sailor Pro Gear Slim Grateful Crane Fountain Pen
One of the pens I’ve been most interested in trying since I first got into fountain pens was the Sailor Pro Gear Slim.

Stationery Shopping in London
Since starting in the fountain pen hobby last year, I’ve done most of my pen and ink shopping online. This is quite a niche hobby, and so most of the regular stationery stores only stock a few Lamy Safaris and a bottle or two of Parker Quink ink. So any opportunity to shop for pens… Read more

What’s in my travel stationery kit?
It’s been quite a while since I did any traveling, so I’m incredibly excited to be going on a trip to London with my fiancé next week. We’re only staying for a couple of nights, and since there’s a lot we want to do, I probably won’t have much time for writing. But I do… Read more
