My Top 5 Stationery Favorites for 2026 (so far)

Fountain Pen Review: Kaweco DIY Glow-in-the-Dark

Fountain Pen Review: Kaweco DIY Glow-in-the-Dark

I have been collecting Kaweco Sport Fountain Pens from the early days of my fountain pen collecting days. I have way more of these tiny little plastic pens than any one human needs. I have gotten better about NOT buying every single colorway option that hits the market but sometimes I get really tempted (last…

My “Fancy” Non-Fountain Pens

My “Fancy” Non-Fountain Pens

Over on Patreon, I talked a bit about shopping my own collection this year rather than buying MORE pens. So, I’ve been digging around in my cupboards and drawers and finding some gems.

Fountain Pen Review: Kaweco Perkeo Limited Edition Infrared

As I think I’ve mentioned, I LOVE the Kaweco AL Sport. So when I was browsing JetPens a few weeks ago, the Kaweco Perkeo caught my eye. I don’t know how I missed it before, but the limited edition Infrared ($28.50) was too interesting not to order one! The Perkeo is modeled after the ever…
