Hello! I’m on holiday break this week (but still working… sheesh!) and so I wanted to share a quick post about what’s new to my EDC/travel carry! Two fun new pens have entered the collection.
The first is the TWSBI Eco Plum + Onyx ($55.99 at Lemur Ink). This is one area where Ana and I agree to disagree – she doesn’t care much for TWSBIs but I LOVE them. And this one was made for me as it’s one of my favorite colors! This week I have it matched with Colorverse’s Lights on Ceres and I’m loving it. Color makes me happy.
The second is one of the new limited edition Retro 51s Tornado Rollerball – Patchwork ($69.50 at Dromgooles). I know I’ve written a lot about my knitting here, but in the last few years I’ve started quilting. I couldn’t resist this sweet edition (and the matching Rickshaw Pen Sleeve). And look at how well it matches my travel notebook!
In general, I’m not purchasing as much as I once was, in terms of pen, ink or notebooks. But every so often a few things catch my eye and fall into my cart.
Speaking of which, it’s almost prime shopping season and while I’m trying to avoid big retailers this year, I’m ever so happy to support all my maker friends! Are you shopping the Black Friday sales for gifts? Or for a few new fun items for yourself?
Love that cranberry (?) color! I don’t use TWSBIs anymore but they do make some fun colors.
I’m holding off on that plum TWSBI for now but I really want it.
