New Arrivals

 Doane Paper has their new Leather Works covers for notebooks and jotters along with a 4 barrel holster for pens. Very nice, made in the U.S.A., genuine Horween® Chromexcel® leather. I’m considering the notebook cover. It might be a little wide for my pocket but I won’t know til I get it.

I’m ALWAYS looking for extra fine tip pens. When I saw these Mitsubishi Uni Pin Pens, I immediately added them to my wish list. I can’t wait to see the difference between the pigment and the oil-based inks next to each other.

And in case you haven’t heard, Pear Tree Pens is pulling up roots. So, they are clearing out their inventory. Their Special Deals section has turned into their Clearance Section and you’ll receive 1/3 off all the items in that section when you buy 3 or more. Hurry because the sale ends on October 1st. I picked myself up a trio of Rhodia and got 1/3 off each of these.

Last week it was all notebooks, this week there’s a little more variety.

I just saw these Stabilo Point 88 Fineliner Marker Pens in an email from JetPens. I’m liking how these markers are designed to look similar to pencils . They are offered individually for 80 cents. They also come in packs of 10, 20 and 25, but you pay more per in the 25 pack. The best deal is the 20. I think I’m gonna go with that.

 

 

As part of Lifehacker’s Stuff We Like category,  they profiled these highlighter pencils by Stubby Pencil Studio. They “use no ink solvents, no volatile organic compounds and are biodegradable.” Nice. I can always use more highlighters. Especially ones that don’t stink and won’t bleed through my pages.

 

 

The new TWSBI Diamond 540 Fountain Pen. I slacked off and didn’t get myself the 530 when everyone was saying it was so great. I’m not going to miss getting the 540. Pick one up either at Goulet Pens or the TWSBI eBay store.

I still haven’t gotten my hands on the new Habana with the ivory colored paper. I really liked the bright white paper, but I felt that the 8mm line spacing was a little large for the way that I write. The fact that the new version has 5.5mm lines makes it even more attractive. I just wish it also came in brown. Brian from Goulet Pens made a great comparison video that only serves to provoke my covetousness. Enjoy!

New Arrivals

I’m adding a new category! New Arrivals is a category where I hope to do a weekly preview of all the newer stationery paraphernalia and writing instruments that I’m excited about getting my hands on. These will be things that I have on order, haven’t been released, or I have added to wish lists somewhere. And I will tell you where. Let’s get started.

First up are these Japanese Campus notebooks. I have several of these notebooks already. The ones I bought have headers to write in subject, date and the like, and one is grid ruled. I picked mine up at Bunbodo. I’m glad to see that Jet Pens is now carrying them! Hopefully they will expand the selection.

Rhodia just put out a bunch of stuff that I can’t wait to get my hands on.  At the moment I’m waiting on a pair of the Rhodia Unlimited Notebooks along with a 2012 Rhodia WebPlanner that will replace my 2011 Moleskine. (Review/comparison to come soon.) Below is the video that Brian from The Goulet Pen Company posted showcasing and explaining all the new Rhodia items. I think I’ve watched it 5 times. Can’t get enough.

There it is. The first New Arrivals post. Short and to the point. The links I posted throughout will take you directly to the items that I  specifically mentioned so you can get them too.
