This month I decided to do something different. A while ago I reviewed Mango by Troublemaker Inks, which I liked a lot, and then just recently a version of Mango was added to the Octopus Inks range so I couldn’t resist finding out how this one compares.

Wykehams A5 Executive Notebook
If you’re thinking “Who are Wykehams?” you are not alone; I wondered the same thing as I looked at their notebook on Amazon; so, I wrote to them and asked them, and George wrote back. Continue reading “Wykehams A5 Executive Notebook”
The Moonman M600S Fountain Pen
I’m not sure why but there was just something about the M600S that caught my eye, I’d seen some pictures online but generally speaking I’m not really a fan of either brown or teal acrylics or gold trim. Continue reading “The Moonman M600S Fountain Pen”
Ink Of The Month – July ’19 – Sailor Jentle Irori
As it’s summer and this is post 100 I thought I would search the ink collection, no mean feat in itself, to find something special; I wanted a really bright colour to compliment the season. The storage crates were opened and many many inks were taken out for inspection and promptly returned until I came across a bottle of Sailor Irori (Hearth Red) ink that I had forgotten I had.

Papelote Pen Holder / Notebook Strap
I was lucky enough to be one of the last people whose orders were shipped by Bureau Direct before they closed their doors. My last order with them was a small one; I ordered five Papelote Pen Holders. If I’d had an inkling of what was to come I would have ordered more, a lot more as these excellent note book straps are hard to come by; even Papelote don’t sell them separately you can only buy them with a notebook or similar.

The Kunisawa Find Notebook
I must confess that I’ve wanted one of these notebooks for some time but until recently I could only source them in the US or Japan and the postage and taxes made it too expensive to be practical; and then I stumbled upon Japan Stationery (https://japanstationery.co.uk) a small family run business specialising in Japanese stationery at reasonable prices and very reasonable shipping. Continue reading “The Kunisawa Find Notebook”
The Tangerine TWSBI – The Transparent Orange Eco
This version of the Eco has generated a lot of interest since it was released and rightly so, and like many other people I can say with certainty the pictures do not do it justice. Continue reading “The Tangerine TWSBI – The Transparent Orange Eco”
Expecto Patronum – The Dingbats A6+ Notebook
I was in the mood to try out a pocket sized, albeit a generous pocket, notebook that would easily adapt to landscape or portrait use and after a short wander around Amazon I came across the Dingbats A6+ Notebook which seemed to me to be big enough to be useful but still within the remit of pocket sized. Continue reading “Expecto Patronum – The Dingbats A6+ Notebook”
Ink Of The Month – June ’19 – Blackstone Red Cashmere
This month I’ve chosen Blackstone’s Red Cashmere, which is a limited edition ink, from the SuSeMai series, with a very interesting history full details of that history can be found here: http://blackstone.ink/index.php/susemai-series-red-cashmere Continue reading “Ink Of The Month – June ’19 – Blackstone Red Cashmere”
