Review by Laura Cameron Over the holiday break, Ana let me play with the set of Karas Kustoms Starliner and Starliner XL fountain pens that she had received for review. I love my Karas Fountain K and prototype Decograph so I was excited to see what else Karas has to offer! The Starliner series pens…

Resolutions Jesi
Of the four ladies who write for The Well-Appointed Desk, I am the last to share my New Year’s resolutions. Because of this, I was able to read through those of Tina, Laura, and Ana (secretly hoping that their resolutions would inspire me to figure out what I’m going to do!). I loved each of…
My Goals for 2019: Laura

Inkmas Day 3: DeAtramentis Document White
Review by Tina Koyama I had two main reasons for wanting to try White in the DeAtramentis Document waterproof ink series (available in 19 colors). Holiday cards often come with red or green envelopes, so I thought it would be fun to try addressing some of mine with white ink. That was my holiday…
