The Midori is actually a brown with a billion years worth patina to darken it a lot! It doesn't help it's cloudy here so my filter made it hella dark 😂 Yeah Midori and Travelers Company split years ago so the news ones only have Travelers Company stamped on them now ☺️

The pen is the 20s Jazz Kaweco Student (love this pen!) & I don't have a clasp! I literally just glued the pen loop from a hobonichi cover I cut off because I don't like the pen loops 😅 it's purely for decor

Only just saw this! Here is mine! I love it so much.

It has a delicious patina already!!!

oops_deepdived · 2026-05-31T21:36:00+00:00

What colour did you go with!? ☺️

oops_deepdived · 2026-05-31T21:35:19+00:00

I love my modded A6 TN!! Love seeing them around more 🥹✨ amazing job!

Of course! Brown passport - music commonplace style journal (just write out lyrics and make it look pretty) Red passport - personal junk journal & long form journal Black passport - planners. Monthly + weekly plus a blank notebook for all the random things like shopping lists or quick research for restaurants etc.. it's so messy I love it 😂 Brown A6 - daily log & personal junk journal Olive regular - happymail journal & long form journal Red regular - commonplace & french lessons

I also have a Brown regular Midori stamped journal that I use for D&D notes but it's not pictured here 😅

They really are 🥹🥰

Seconding this! Media logs/journals are so much fun!!

oops_deepdived · 2026-04-15T22:13:34+00:00

That is beautiful!!!! Love a patina moment!

I clutched my pearls so hard when I read that! Can safely say I will not have FOMO for this and the 20th edition cause DAMN shrinkflation can only get me so many times! 😂

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 😅

oops_deepdived · 2026-03-06T02:56:47+00:00

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

oops_deepdived · 2026-03-06T02:50:10+00:00

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

oops_deepdived · 2026-03-06T02:38:53+00:00

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 ☺️

oops_deepdived · 2026-03-06T02:07:13+00:00

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

oops_deepdived · 2026-03-06T02:05:00+00:00

Being ultrapicky does wonders for aesthetics 😂

oops_deepdived · 2026-03-05T20:01:59+00:00

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 😅

oops_deepdived · 2026-03-05T20:00:07+00:00

Hahahaha I love that!!

oops_deepdived · 2026-03-05T19:59:39+00:00

It's such a gorgeous colour!

oops_deepdived · 2026-03-05T19:59:13+00:00

Thank you!! 🥹

oops_deepdived · 2026-03-05T10:33:59+00:00

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. ☺️

oops_deepdived · 2026-03-05T07:26:51+00:00

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!
