Link Love: Topsy Turvy

It feels very topsy-turvy this week. The pencil links are sharpeners and after months of neglect, Kaweco is in our headlines. I have heard a story about one of Einstein’s famous fountain pens and it’s not any of the ones listed on the story below. Diamine release ink inspired by Les Paul guitars and the UK shop Bureau Direct has shuttered its doors. I blame the weather which pummeled us here in the Midwest and promises to continue for the foreseeable future.
