I know it sounds hokey, but in the last few years, since I haven’t attended pen shows that much, I’ve been concentrating on what I already have in my collection and trying to use it more. That doesn’t mean I haven’t bought new things (I surely have!) but I’m also focusing on what my favorites…

Notebook Review: Paperblanks New Romatics Midi
I’m getting ready to head out of town on vacation for the first time in a few years, and I’m super excited. My husband and I like to travel with Race2Adventure – he loves the running, I love the yarn stores (no one’s surprised right?) This time we’re headed to Norway for sightseeing, running, yarn…

I purchased Pennonia Balaton-kék (4mL sample for $2.90) because the swatch card was perfect over at Vanness Pens. When I pulled it out to swatch, I was…
