I really enjoyed this week’s “Pen Addict” podcast episode where Brad and Myke discussed what they love about stationery. Which made me brainstorm my own list. Which made me write out that list in my journal to share here, copycat that I am.
Morning pages
Mood journaling (new for 2023)
Sheening inks
Broad nibs
Letters and postcards
Collections
Pocket notebooks
Double-ended pens
Analog calendars/planners
Disc-bound notebooks
Products that make me laugh
Titanium nibs
Cards and notes
Honestly, this is just the tip of the iceberg, an admittedly incomplete list. I haven’t mentioned pencils (wooden and mechanical), machined pens, Ultem pens, colored pencils, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
And pen pals, pen friends, and pen shows.
You all are THE BEST—even better than the sheeniest ink.
In a nutshell…
