The Tixx disposable pens are economical yet feature excellent quality ink and a very long writing life. The hybrid gel/ink roller ball pens flow smoothly, and are a pleasure to write with.
Platignum
Platignum Pen Co., London, introduced the world's first self-filling fountain pen in 1919. Throughout the last century they have engineered a unique line of writing instruments, inventing the first replacement nib, retractable ballpoint and replaceable ink cartridge. The modern Platignum Company continues in that tradition, creating well-made yet affordable pens designed with thoughtful details: smudge-proof and hybrid inks, soft grip barrels, and attractive, sustainable packaging.

In Defense of Paper
Celebrations
2018 like most years went by too quickly. Fortunately it was a mostly good and positive year filled with many achievements, successes, and milestones. Yet, somehow the end of the year hit me harder than most. Instead of the usual vague sense of “Where did the year go?”, I felt a deep sense of regret.
First Anniversary
One year ago, I helped Joe open HWE Stationery. I had always had dreams of owning my own shop, but never would have imagined that it could happen. Joe always wanted to own a business, and is a person who gets things done. The first year of building our business has been full of challenges, and accomplishments.
Breaking Bread
I know this blog has been about my obsession with paper, and the ways I use it to bring joy and peace into my life. However, I want to write about my other great love, tableware. I own seven sets of tableware, that’s right seven! Four of the sets are fine China, and i’m willing to admit that may be an overabundance of tableware. But very little of what I own was purchased by me, so who really is to blame here?
