Sometimes it’s not entirely about the new stuff, it’s about enjoying what’s on my desk that I get to play with every day. Then again, a little something new never hurt right?

Do you need blotter paper?
A few weeks ago, when I ordered the Esterbrook x Bungubox Kachofugetsu Flower Fountain Pen, Esterbrook included a set of their Esterbrook Nature Blotter Paper ($13.95) as a free gift with purchase.

Pen Case Review: Kamio Japan Paco-Tray Pen Case – Peanuts in Navy
Not that Snoopy and Charlie Brown ever went away, but I feel like there’s something in the air (ETA I did the research – it’s the centennial!). The USPS introduced Charles M.
