As I wander through my stash this month, I rediscovered my Caran D’ache 849 Fountain Pen. At one point, I had two (one pink and one green) but I have only been able to find the green one. These pens are soft hex shaped barrels with a snap cap. The cap can be posted but…
A few weeks ago when I went down the gel pen rabbit hole, Ana suggested I place an order with JetPens to try out everything. I meant to order the JetPens Purple Gel Pen Sampler ($22 for 10 pens), but I accidentally ordered the Purple Pen Sampler ($33 for 13 pens). For today’s review I’ve…
