A Year of Fountain Pens
I bought my first fountain pen back in September 2023. It was a Lavender Kaweco Sport I stumbled across on Amazon, that I just thought looked cool. When I got it I clicked in the cartridge that came with it, tried it, and really liked it. And then that was it. I used the pen… Read more

Review: Asvine P20 Fountain Pen
I bought my first Asvine P20 fountain pen almost a year ago but somehow never got around to reviewing it, despite it being an interesting pen. The fact that I now have two of these should be a spoiler though – I really like the P20! Asvine is a Chinese pen brand that, along with… Read more

A September Stationery Haul
It’s over halfway through September, and I’ve already bought too much stuff, and spent too much money. But at least some of it I blame on Hobonichi season! So I guess let’s start the haul there!

One of the pens I’ve been most interested in trying since I first got into fountain pens was the Sailor Pro Gear Slim. For one thing, I was intrigued by the famous Sailor feedback, and for another… well, they’re just really pretty pens that come in an endless array of colours and editions. I was… Read more

Review: Pilot Decimo Violet Fountain Pen
The Pilot Capless fountain pens have such a long history and are so beloved by the fountain pen community, that I became aware of them very early in my fountain pen journey. But to be honest, at first glance they didn’t really appeal to me at all. To me, they looked very ‘businessman-like’, which isn’t… Read more

My Lamy Collection
A little while ago I did a post about my Kaweco collection, since I own a lot of that brand of pen. Another brand of pen I own a lot of is Lamy, and so I thought I’d do a similar post about my Lamy collection. My Lamy collection isn’t as extensive as my Kaweco… Read more
