Stationery Favourites – September 2026
I feel like I say this every month, but I honestly can’t believe how far into the year we are. It still doesn’t feel that long since the New Year, but we’re now only three months away from 2027! September has been a busy month though, mainly with work, but also, thankfully because of travel.… Read more

My Stationery Origin Story
For me, my lifelong love of stationery is bound up with my lifelong love of writing. I was an avid reader as a child, and this eventually morphed into a wish to tell my own stories. I wasn’t too picky about the stationery I used as a kid, it was just a tool to capture… Read more

Review: Pelikan M200 Copper Rose Gold Fountain Pen
Despite being a beloved brand in the fountain pen community, I have to admit, I’ve never been overly interested in Pelikan pens. Whilst I like their general profile, I find most of their colourways (eg. all the stripes and tortoiseshell) a little boring, and not my style. However, if there’s one thing that’s going to… Read more

If I Could Only Keep 10 Fountain Pens…
I have a pretty large collection of fountain pens at this point (around 76 pens!), and I really enjoy having a lot of variety to choose from. However, I have seen a few people online doing this ‘ten pen’ exercise, and thought it would be fun to do – theoretically only of course! So if… Read more

Stationery Favourites – May 2026
May has been a strange mixture of rainy and unseasonably warm here in the UK, although I guess that’s actually pretty typical of British weather – unpredictable! Summer is definitely in the air though, and it’s kind of wild to think we’re already heading into June. We’re almost halfway through the year! The main event… Read more

New Pen Day: Esterbrook Estie Bubblegum Pink
A while ago I bought my first Esterbrook Estie, which was the CoffeeMonsterzCo collaboration pen. I love my original Estie, and it’s super comfortable to write with, but for a steel-nibbed pen, I do feel like the Estie is quite pricey, so I hadn’t planned on buying a second one. But I love a pink… Read more
