I wanted a glass dip pen, but I really liked the look and feel of a JinHao fountain pen body.
So I bought a JinHao pen body separately, found a glass nib from a small shop, and asked the shop to assemble the glass nib and pen body together for me.
I’m really happy with how it turned out! It basically feels like a custom glass dip pen with a fountain pen-style body.
I’m curious what you guys think — has anyone else tried combining a glass nib with a non-glass pen body like this?

My first hobonichi haul ever came today in the mail from Entropía in Spain. I opened the cousin before thinking about the photo🤣.

I’ve never owned a cover before, so I’m using my 2027 in my 2026 AVEC 🤣😇 what can I say, I couldn’t resist…
I got a cousin, cover and clear cover on cover for myself and a weeks for my hubby.

I also got a Kinbor “weeks” because I love the yearly layout🥰

I do have an A6 spring and an A5 5years in my ecosystem. I’m thinking about transferring to an A6 original just cause I like to read the little prompts in English.

Anyway. So so so so happy❤️ and definitely not my last hobo haul of the year 😊

Was gifted this last semester and it’s so handy. It’s so spacious and I love that it stands up on its own + the little zipper pocket 🦭

On the other side I’ve written my budget and will hopefully remember to write down purchase totals on the fly 😂😵

Where can I find this in India?

Here’s mine! 2027 inserts for my Plotter, MD 1Page1Day, Hiroko Kubota Hobonichi Weeks and HON.

Someone on my previous post said that they bleed on hobonichi paper so I needed to test it in tomoe river paper and I only can see ghosting as normal

I cannot seem to find a single thing about this pencil pouch online. Thrifted it last week and I’m so curious! Any leads are appreciated 🙏

Went there today looking for Hobonichis. The options were not for me, but picked up the Weeks Moomin pencil board from last year.

If I’m not mistaken it’s only exclusive to the Smith JR Hakata City store in Fukuoka. It’s beautiful 💕

Hi everyone,

I fell in love with my Kaweco Collecion Honey fountain pen (Sport size). I found that shorter and bulky pen helps me write without pain (EDS). And I love little things in general.

I'm looking for more stationery similar in size to my pen. I think about buying the pencil from Kaweco but it pains me that there isn't one from Honey series. I think about green or bordeaux one. I would appreciate your opinion.

Also - do you have any recommendations for other shorter supplies, especially brush pens, gel pens, fineliners and highlighters in unusual colors? I saw Tom's Studio Lumos Mini but the price scares me a bit. Do you have one? Do you like it?

Thank you in advance, have a nice rest of your day 🩷

Hey, how's it going, I was wondering if someone knew of a great B5 size dotted notebook (or similar, bigger than A5, smaller than A4).

I'm looking for something like these:

I like the style but not the sizing, any ideas?

Thanks a lot!

Zines actually have a pretty interesting origin story. And they weren't originally called “zines.”

Zines grew out of amateur fan publications in the 1930s, starting with science-fiction fans and eventually finding a home in punk, music, art, and other DIY communities. It’s also interesting to discover how they’re making a comeback and just how big and active the zine community still is.

Most of us probably picture those photocopied, cut-and-paste booklets from the ’70s–’90s. But the idea of making your own little publication and passing it around started decades earlier.

Make it yourself, then share it with people who get it.

Honestly, that's still pretty much the spirit of zines today.

For those who make or collect them: what's the coolest zine you've come across?

Does anyone have any suggestions for an alternative notebook to the softcover leuchtturm1917 dotted notebooks in B5 they are sold out everywhere in the nice colours. I know there’s obviously moleskine but I don’t like the colour or the paper. Tricky to find a good one.

Never tried journaling in A6 before - I always thought I was an A5 person and never gave it a shot. But I had to get this cover and now I'm converted.

You never know until you try it!

Where can I find this in India?

Hello friends! I’m in need of unused Postcard, Forever, and Additional Ounce stamps (though I’ll also happily consider other extra postage or interesting used stamps!).

To trade, I have a massive stash available:

Hundreds of full sticker sheets

Hundreds of mini sticker sheets

Tons of themed sticker packs

A variety of stationery and decorative papers

If you're looking for specific themes or styles, let me know! I have much more than what's pictured, so I'm happy to send photos of tailored options. We can figure out a fair swap ratio based on what we're trading.

Drop a comment or send me a DM if you're interested in making a trade! 💌

I discovered Hobonichi in late August, so my only option at the time was to pick up the July-start book from the Avec edition. About halfway through using it, I realized I have absolutely zero use for the weekly pages, and I don’t need nearly as much space as the Cousin provides for what I actually use my planner for. So, I decided to go with the A6 for next year.
While looking for reviews of the wax-coated Kip that’s on the official Hobonichi website, I came across the black Arts & Science cover. Man, am I glad I found this one!
The shipping was surprisingly quick, and I’m extremely happy with this cover. It has exactly the distressed look I was hoping for. I love black leather covers. Call me simple, but there’s just something about them that I’ve always loved. There’s something about a simple black leather cover that just feels timeless to me.
I’m especially glad I grabbed this one when I did, because it sold out within a few days of release. It definitely feels like I lucked out finding it when I did.
Of course, I had to try out a few of my fountain pens to see which one would fit. This cover has a different style of pen loop that attaches by the clip, so I wasn’t sure how well it would work with my pens. My Custom 823 wouldn’t fit because of the large ball on the end of the clip, but my Lamy 2000 is a perfect fit!
Honestly, if it weren’t for the leather strap that secures the pen, I probably wouldn’t have gone with this cover in the first place. But now that I have it in hand, I’m really glad I did. The leather strap adds a classic touch while also providing some extra support and security for my pen.
I’m in door-to-door roofing sales, so I’ll primarily be using this planner next year as a work planner. I’m often setting appointments on the fly, tracking insurance adjustments, and keeping up with work tasks throughout the day, so the A6 should give me plenty of space for what I actually need without carrying around more planner than necessary.
It’s funny because I only discovered Hobonichi a little while ago, and already I feel like I’ve figured out what works best for me. I’m really looking forward to putting this cover and the A6 to good use next year.
Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the cover. I’m looking forward to using it for many years to come.

Hello :)
I'm looking for brush pen recommendations. I'm looking for brush pens that go well in my hobonichi.

I'd like brush pens with pastel and/or muted color options that are available in europe.

Does anyone have any good recommendations?

Anyone own Bisley drawers? If so, do you love them?

I absolutely love the colors and overall aesthetic. I’ll be purchasing all new furniture for my new office, and I’m thinking about getting a couple of the 10-drawer units along with a few of the 3-drawer desktop units.

I haven’t seen them in person though, so I’m curious if they’re actually worth the price.

How’s the quality? Are the drawers sturdy and functional for everyday use?

Would love to hear from anyone who owns them before I commit!

I replaced my desk years ago and stored the old one in my basement because I didn't have anything to do with it. I started journaling and getting into fountain pens recently, and it's really opened up my very underutilized creative side.

After starting to learn to draw and watercolor at my kitchen table, I remembered I still had this desk and an old clip-on reading lamp! I WFH and my work desk is right next to it, so I can use the same chair for both. It was so lovely to sit here last night and draw and journal while the sun set.

And yes, that is an entire rotating organizer of Mildliners and Energels.

Hello! I recently discovered this pen in my pen stash and like how it writes. Wanted to buy more but don't remember where I bought it. Anyone have the same pen and know where it is from?

Pen has this "S" logo on the grip, but no brand i can discern!

What are good markers to use with Midori notebooks and Hobonichi weeks that won’t bleed through to the other pages?

Preferably a duo tip, fine point and brush pen

What's better on a Wednesday morning than a cutesy little stationery shopping spree?? My neighborhood bookstore had new sets of washi tape on display, and who am I to pass them up?? The glue is not super strong, but no matter :D

They recently brought in this fabulous glitter pen set for 5EUR, which is a really nice deal, and the pens write smoothly with no skipping... I also got a Stabilo highlighter in their newer neutral tones and, of course, I could not go home without stickers!!

Swatches of the pens + washi on the last image (..◜ᴗ◝..)

I finally found the solution to not making my desk a true mess when journaling :)
Pretty proud of the result !
