For my next Inkvent adventure, I thought I would spend some time with an ink that’s a little more obscure. I scanned my ink collection with one goal in mind: could I find an ink that would be new to both Ana and Jesi? Pretty lofty goal, but let’s give it a go. I remembered…

12 Days of Inkmas: Day 3 Kobe Bauhaus Orange
Last year Jesi bought me a ginormous book (see pic below for scale) on the Bauhaus art movement and the matching Kobe Bauhaus Orange Ink. I’ve been hoarding the ink, as you do with limited edition ink that was given as a gift. But I thought I’d share this treasure with you. The ink came…
12 Days of Inkmas: Day 12 Birmingham Blizzard Twinkle
I absolutely love that Birmingham Pen Company took their ink making process in house. Over the past year, they have been fine tuning and streamlining their process and getting a crash course in the fine art and chemistry of ink making.

12 Days of Inkmas: Day 9 Kala Island No. 38 Sweet Potato Balls
It’s hard to decide what my favorite food is at the holidays, but I admit that my family’s sweet potato casserole is really high up there on the list. We steam fresh sweet potatoes, then add peaches, pecans, brown sugar, butter and a few toasted marshmallows at the end. It’s sweet and decadent and I…
