Last week I was intrigued by Ana’s You Can Only Keep One post, and then saw several others in the Pen Addict’s weekly roundup. So I decided to dive into my own today! Let’s start with pens in my favorite color: TEAL! L to R: Kaweco AL Sport, Blue Iguana – It is insanely hard…

My Ink 100: Part 2 – Color Inventory is Hard
My phase two of my Ink 100 destash project is not going AT ALL according to plan. I needed to pull swatches for every color ink I own from my numerous Col-o-rings and sort them by color in an effort to streamline the sorting process. This was a slow process which required pulling ink out…
Tag: You Can Only Keep One (the pen edition) #youcanonlykeepone

Notebook Review: Dominant Industry Ink Archiving Book
