I’ve gotten the left-handed Z50 nib, for minimalizing confusion and your philosophical comprehension on stationery.

When I’ve introduced myself to fountain pens, and once using them for the first time, the pens gave off a scritchy-scratchy feel and sound. It is official that it has displeased my fingers and eardrums. However, what has baffled me beyond my mental limits is that when my parents have tried them out for the kick of it. The pens appeared to be literally gliding across the paper when they wrote with it. Actually, gliding is an understatement. It actually LEVITATED. As a result, my inconclusive mind perceived that it’s not about you choosing the pen, but the pen choosing you.

After a quick session of some modern technique called Googling, fountain pens were actually designed to be “dragged,” not “pushed.” Since I am a lefty, my motions with them did invoke pushing maneuvers. My parents are righties (more like frighties in my opinion), their motions consisted of pulling actions, perfectly giving me a clear answer. This is where Lamy’s left handed nib comes in.

It looks like a normal Z50 nib, but the manufacturers probably did some kind of work to the tip of the nib. It allows for tons of ink-vomiting control while writing, and it gives a pleasant feel and doesn’t produce the scratching noise. Overall, it is a good upgrade if you are a lefty, and I would definitely buy more for my other Lamy pens!

I picked up the Palm Green Kaweco cartridges to go with my DIY emerald green fountain pen. These are easy to use with the Kaweco fountain pens. Its a pretty shade of green as well.

I thought I missed the opportunity to purchase a new Kaweco. The store had the DIY experience that allowed me to put my own pen together. The staff was helpful as we walked through the steps. The result is a lovely emerald green Kaweco sport fountain pen!

obsessed with this purchase! love the store too so cute!

I love this ink. It is dark enough to see and shimmers with the best of them.

Excellent

Excellent

Absolutely love!!! Also Papillon Press packaging is like not other. Lots of love and care and thank you note was a very nice touch

I love this shop. This is such a cute stationary set.

Wanted a quality pencil so that I can lesson plan and model work for my students without needing to stop and sharpen. Great price for a quality pencil that will last me years as I teach!

I am obsessed with this pen. I got the orange one first, and enjoyed using it as my daily carry ballpoint for times that my fountain pen wasn't a good fit. I loved it so much that I came back and bough this one with some refills. Such great fine lines. Works well at any angle with no hinderance found, even though I'm a lefty. 10 out of 10 - great pen.

I purchased a black clip for my new Kaweco Gel Roller pen. It's functional and goes well with the grey pen body. The cost is also aligns with what I see at other online retailers so it was a win to pick it up in the store.

Having the ability to change ink color in fountain pens is one of my favorite reasons for using them. The ink cartridges make this very easy. The J. Herbin is a well behaved ink with several color options and the cartridges are simple to install and keep writing.

I got this diary last year, and have been using it to write a little about each day, and log what I did. I'm going to go back over my pictures for the year in late December, and add photo stickers to the days to have it as a memory keeper. This is the first time I've ever stayed consistent on a yearly diary, and the portable size and ease of quick entries has absolutely contributed to that. I can't wait to start on 2026!

The size is perfect for carrying in my bag, and I love the full week layout so that I can see not only how busy I am that day, but also the surrounding week.
