Pilot Metropolitan Fountain Pen Review

Author AnaPosted on April 29, 2013May 27, 201713 Comments

I had recently seen the Pilot Metropolitan pop up on JetPens but noticed that most of the color options had sold out immediately. Then I heard Brad of The Pen Addict Podcast discuss his rather blah reaction to it and his general aversion to all things gold. So… guess what I bought? Yup. The gold…

Sailor Desk Pen EF Review

Author AnaPosted on April 1, 2013May 27, 20172 Comments

The Sailor Desk Pen EF doesn’t look like much with its fleshy-colored, plastic cap but under that cap is what makes this sub-$20 pen such a little gem. It does not have any fancy packaging and even the two black cartridges that came with the pen came in a plain plastic bag but for less…

TWSBI Mini Review…Finally

Author AnaPosted on March 7, 2013May 27, 2017Leave a comment

I’ve had the TWSBI Mini ($50-$55) since Christmas but I haven’t reviewed it because I’ve been waiting for a new EF nib unit. Initially, I got it with the F nib thinking I’d like to be able to compare the F nib with the EF nib I have on my TWSBI Diamond 540*. What I…

Budget Fountain Pen Showdown

Author AnaPosted on March 5, 2013May 27, 201716 Comments

After lampooning the Pilot Varsity, I got a lot of feedback from readers that they had a good experience with the pen and that it helped to inspire them to try fountain pens. While I am still not over the bruising experience of the Pilot Varisty, I was willing to try some other sub-$5 fountain…

HEMA Vulpen Fountain Pen Review

Author AnaPosted on February 11, 2013May 27, 201710 Comments

While vacationing over the holidays, my friend Cecelia picked up a HEMA Vulpen fountain pen in Belgium for me. I had to do a bit of detective work about it before I could post a review about it. HEMA is a chain of department stores from the Netherlands. From their website it looks like a…

Review: Zebra V-301 Fountain Pen

Author AnaPosted on January 27, 2013December 23, 201613 Comments

While I was out of town last week, I happened into a local drugstore chain and just had to walk down the office supplies aisle. What can I say? A week without this blog and all you wonderful readers and I was going through a bit of withdrawal. So, I was thrilled to find this…

Pilot Varsity Fountain Pen

Author AnaPosted on January 10, 2013May 27, 201719 Comments

I noticed that I had never written a review of the Pilot Varsity Fountain Pen so I thought I’d add it. Let me start by saying that I bought this several years ago and was very unhappy with its performance and stuck it in a drawer. It actually took quite some time before I was…

Oh, yeah! Our pals and Bob and I are having a yard sale this Saturday! Yes, two DINK couples with a stupid amount of cool stuff and a desperate need to make space in our tiny Brookside bungalows. So, come make a deal for some awesome stuff: music equipment, designer toys, books, craft supplies, and so much more!
Over the last week or so, I've been slowly updating the shop. First, I have added more pen clean out and ink destashing. Patrons get advanced notice when I do stationery cupboard clean outs so if you join the Patreon, you too can get first dibs when I clear out my ever-expanding pen, paper and ink stash. I've been a little stressed by my collection -- that feeling of having too many things to keep track of, etc -- that I'm probably removing items from my collection that are from the core of my collection, not the fluff....
"review" of the Schon DSGN Monoc nib and Pocket Six anodized aluminum pocket pen. I say "review" because its just 100% praise for this amazing nib and pen.
