Oh, what could be inside this glossy black box? None other than the Pilot Prera fountain pen with F nib and in the most lovely shade of lime green, of course. I’m hoping this will satisfy my lust for a lime green pen and that I won’t feel the need to buy the apple green…

Lamy Safari in (sigh) Apple Green
The new Lamy Safari is in the most delicious shade of apple green (my signature color!). If only I could love the special grip utilized by Lamy in this model– its so lefty-incompatible! But I can still lust after the color. Remember: if you order anything through Notemaker, Well-Appointed Desk readers get a 10%…
Refilling a Kaweco with a syringe

The Denver Post pencil, the fountain pen, ruler and letter opener belonged to her grandfather, Carl P. Stangel, who was an architect in Omaha, NE. Many of the other pieces came from her father…
Ink Drop Reveal for May 2012
Goulet Pens brought out all the “May Flowers” to contrast last month’s “April Showers” with an array of brightly colored and scented inks for this month’s Ink Drop. My favorite is Elderberries from De Atramentis which smells lightly floral-y but makes me want to say “and your mother’s smells of elderberries” every time I see…
