Now that our children are almost grown-up, I have more time for reading and playing with pens.
I have always loved stationery from that first felt-tip pen pack for school to my current Japanese paper planner. I enjoy exploring different nibs but my favourites are extra fine and italic/stubs - put these two together with some vintage styling and I'm in pen heaven! I also have a weakness for beautiful packaging and in consequence have far too many inks. I have listed many below, let me know if you want a fill of any of these if you hire one of my pens.
