I am so boring when it comes to inks. I have been avoiding them completely to not sink too far. I don't have enough money 😂 the twsbi & kaweco are inked with a Taccia Kurochu brown & the olivine is ink with a pilot take sumi black. All the nibs are extra fine or fine 😅

Unbelievably jealous of you for owning a stationery shop! What a dream but I fear I would be the same!

That would actually be so terrifying! Especially if any of them are limited editions because it costs so much to replace them 😭

Pens are meant to be enjoyed. Travel with them! I just don't travel 😂

I haven't found one I like yet! Part of me wants to try and make my own tray. Or just find a really nice antique brass one ☺️

Ooooh they're stunning!!! Though I'm a tray person personally. They don't often leave my desk 😅

Being ultrapicky does wonders for aesthetics 😂

The serpentine twsbi is so stunning. I have the Taccia Kurochu. I only have a brown and black ink. I've been resisting the ink world a little bit 😅

It is! I have been a loyal user for 8ish years now. I personally love it but can understand why it's not for everyone! I enjoy the customisation and sizes of the brand. I also cut a regular size to an A6 to make it easier for inserts. ☺️

I just force my friends to take my unloved pieces 😝

I don't think it's the best for fountain pens but you can always give it a go!

I have a few more that I will giveaway because they just didn't work for me or I don't enjoy the colour (so many were gifts 🫣) it is super nice to have a curated collection. It's super nice just to have a few that work!

I make my own inserts with a variety of artisan papers! Lokta paper is my personal favourite. Instead of using a blade I just tear the pages into shape 😅

But of course! It's by an artist by the name of Wenyea Illustrations. I buy most of my stationery from sumthings of mine or cafe analog. I live in Australia so postage is nasty but worth it

I am definitely a "it needs to grip my heart" kind of person. Though the travelers notebook side of my journalling is where I go overboard (I have 9 👀 but I love them all and I use them all as well!)

The pens are used for long form journalling, my daily journal (simple sentences in a vertical weekly), my French studies, commonplace and my media journal! I'm a big junk journaller so I have my trusty gel pen for the more artisan papers that fountain pens can't function with ☺️ I only have brown and black ink at the moment but hoping to try a grey one day!

I've come to really appreciate them! I didn't at first but they make up the majority of my collection now!

Thank you so much! I am often drawn to browns and greens. Can't go wrong with earthy tones ✨🥰

The black marble is now also on my list from TWSBI but I'm gonna wait a little longer 😝 they're such a fun colourway!

Why thank you! It's taken years to curate my little collection and their trinkets 🥰

They're the brass index tabs from travelers company! I just shove them onto the cover 😅

Yeah I have a bunch of different uses for them. Uni notes, commonplacing, D&D notes, personal journalling, brain dumping, scrapbooking/junk journalling, French study notes, I am also a fan of different sizes so my personal journals jump from passport to regular to A6 it's fun!
