2027 Hobonichi Weeks Planner in Yellow Hardcover on white background, with cover closed

Thursday Drops: Hobonichi, Cloth & Paper, Colorverse Restock and more!

November 13, 2026

Just because I’m out of the shop this week doesn’t mean that things stop moving around here! We have new editions and releases pouring in for the holidays, including a small shipment of Hobonichi planners, new Colorverse inks (and a restock of others), new A5-Slim notebook systems from Cloth & Paper, and more. We’ve also launched a new collaboration with Kaleidocraft Prints - a “Color Vault” desktop pen holder in our signature T.G.S. Colors, as well as a standard black version. Be sure to check these and more out!

The Color Vault was designed to hold the Zebra Mildliner, but it’s compatible with any similarly sized marker or gel pen.

Our shop is open this week, both online and in-store. Come see these and more at our Nashville location from 1-6pm Thursday and Friday and from 10am-5pm on Saturday.

  1. Hobonichi Techo A5 “Hon” Planners. This hardcover version of the larger A5 Hobonichi Techo doesn’t need a cover, as it’s bound like a hardcover book. The Hon combines daily, monthly, and weekly planning, with a full day-to-a-page layout.

  2. Hobonichi Techo “Weeks” Planner. The “Weeks” features a slimmer format with its signature week-on-two-pages layout, allowing you to plan on the left-hand page while taking notes in the right-hand column.

  3. Colorverse Ink Nebula Specialty Set. Featuring two unique shimmer inks inspired by space, this two-bottle set from Colorverse includes “Butterfly Nebula” (65ml) and “NGC 6302” (15ml).

  4. Cloth & Paper Genuine Leather A5 Slim Notebook Covers. These soft leather A5-slim leather notebook covers from Cloth & Paper are set up with four cords to hold A5 slim refills, as well as a range of different accessories. Covers already include card slots and more.

  5. Cloth & Paper Vinyl Notebook Covers (A5 Slim). Looking for a non-leather option for a cord-based journal system? These sturdy vinyl covers are durable and stiff, and when loaded up with refills allow to you view everything you have in your notebooks system. A unique look!

  6. Cloth & Paper Planner Refills and Accessories. We have a wide array of refills and accessories from Cloth & Paper, designed to allow you to customize your notebook with document holders, zippered pouches, calendars, and even an ink-swatch notebook.

  7. Cloth & Paper Sticky Notes. In addition to their planner systems, Cloth & Paper is known for their sticky notes, which come in a wide array of shapes, textures, and materials.

  8. Kanmido Coco Fusen Sticky Notes and Accessories. During my travels in Japan, one thing that has always amazed me is the sheer variety of sticky notes and other annotation tools, available in different color and formats.

  9. Roterfaden TGS_25 Taschenbegleiter A5 Slim Notebook Cover. As I mentioned above, I’m in Japan for the next week plus attending at least two pen and stationery events, and my A5-slim Roterfaden has been the companion I’ve chosen to take with me. (The zippered pouch on the back cover is super convenient for holding business cards, stickers, and more.)

  10. Kaleidocraft Color Vault Desktop Pen Holder. Our friends at Kaleidocraft were kind enough to create a unique version of this block-style pen holder in signature TGS Colors! Designed to hold up to 42 highlighters (specifically the Zebra milliner), it also fits any similarly sized highlighter, marker, or gel pen.

It shouldn’t be much of a mystery what I took with me this week on my travels!

On The Paper Trail Episode 20: Pen Shows vs. Stationery Shows (And Back to Japan!)

November 12, 2026

Since we are once again back “on the trail,” - attending two pen shows in Japan! - we thought it would be fun to talk about pen and stationery shows. Topics include how we prepare for shows as both vendors and attendees, the differences between pen shows and stationery shows/fests, and our own personal tips on how to plan for a show in advance to maximize your experience.

New Arrivals: Hobonichi Is Here!

November 10, 2026

They took a bit longer to arrive, but we just received a shipment of 2027 Hobonichi Techo planners in the A5 “Hon” and “Weeks” formats! The Hon is the bound hardback version that does not require a separate cover, while the weeks is the compact planner slim enough to fit in a jacket pocket. Both styles use the ultra-thin Tomoe River Paper that made Hobonichi famous. The Hon features daily, weekly, monthly, and annual formats, while the “Weeks” specializes in, well, weekly planning.

Please note that we are likely not receiving additional colors, sizes, or accessories of the Hobonichi Techo this year - this will be our only shipment and they will be made available in-store and online. Come by our Nashville shop to pick one up in person, this Thursday and Friday from 1-6pm and Saturday from 10am-5pm!

Sunday Reading for November 8, 2026

November 8, 2026
  1. What’s Still “Worth It”? (via Rachel’s Reflections). An interesting look at recent fountain pen price increases, in context.

  2. Bloggiversary. Fountain Pen Blog is 10! (via Fountain Pen Blog). Any bloggiversary is a worthy accomplishment now that everything is seemingly moving to social media more and more. 10 years is amazing!

  3. Larger Notebooks from My Collection (via Notebook Stories). Do you prefer a smaller notebook or a larger notebook for everyday use? A5 is my personal sweet spot but I occasionally will use a B5 or an A4 - B5 is gaining rapidly in popularity.

  4. Leonardo + Stilo e Stile MZ Circus (via Figboot). I enjoy Leonardo pens but I have had a hard time getting behind this particular color and style of acrylic. Tastes vary!

  5. Journaling at Yellowstone in Wyoming (via Inky.Rocks). I’m especially interested in travel journaling now that I’m staring down a big trip in three days!

  6. 14 Years in the Making (via Fueled by Clouds and Coffee). I should embark upon a quest to complete partially filled notebooks. It might take me 20 years. :)

Transparent Cloth & Paper Circle Sticky Notes - ballpoints or fineliners only!

In Case You Missed It…

This week was Fountain Pen Day, so all across the internet content took a back seat to what seems like a week-long sale extravaganza. This week I answered a new question in the Ask TGS Series about fountain pen friendly sticky notes. They short version is yes, there are options out there, but you have to temper your expectations, and if you want the ultra thin, moveable sticky notes you will likely have to use some form of oil-based ink.

Fountain Pen Day Last Opportunities! This Week in the T.G.S. Curated Shop

We launched our own Fountain Pen Day Weekend specials on Thursday, and they will run through 11:59pm CT tonight. Use the coupon code FPDAY10 at checkout for 10% off most shop items (with certain brand exclusions), plus you can participate in a free gift promo if you qualify for free shipping at $75. See Thursday’s post for specific details!

We had some new arrivals launch this weekend as well! The big announcement is a collaboration with Kaleidocraft Prints on a desktop pen holder in our signature colors, which will hold up to 42 pens/highlighters/markers. Designed specifically around the Zebra Mildliner (41 mildliners plus 1 gel pen for labeling), the Color Vault is compatible with a range of similarly sized writing instruments. We also added a new A5 Slim notebook system from Cloth & Paper, including covers, refills, and accessories such as pouches and sticky notes. Check out these new arrivals and more in each week’s Thursday Drops Post.

Kaleidocraft Color Vault TGS Colors filled with Zebra Mildliners and Gel Pens

Fountain Pen Day Weekend Continues: A New T.G.S. Special in Partnership with Kaleidocraft Prints!

November 7, 2026

You all know that I love my highlighters, but I have a special fondness for the recently discovered Zebra Mildliners and Pilot Kiri-Na, which have become my highlighters of choice. But which of the 40+ available colors do I keep on hand? Why not all of them! A huge shoutout to the team at Kaleidocraft who agreed to do a special run of their 3D-Printed “Color Vault” desktop pen holder in a special red and black swirled acrylic for T.G.S. We also have a basic black one as well, for those who prefer a more classic look. These will hold 42 pens plus notecards up to A6 size.

While highlighters and pens are not included, we carry an extensive range of Highlighters, Gel Pens, and more that you can use to fill out your Color Vault! You can see these in-store and online today. Our Nashville Shop will be open from 10-5pm.

I’d also like to add a huge shoutout to Derek at dwrdnet, who I believe first came up with the concept for a desktop holder that would house the entire Zebra Mildliner range (or as much of it as we can easily get our hands on here in the States!)

Even Though Fountain Pen Day Was Yesterday, We’re Running Specials All Weekend Both In-Store and Online!

Take 10% off most items in the shop using the code “FPDAY10” at checkout, and you can also take advantage of our tiered bonus promotion on all orders that qualify for free shipping. Check out yesterday’s post for full details! We had a full house all day yesterday, and are looking forward to a fun day today as well. Hope to see you soon!

We have some fun Fountain Pen Day activities planned in-store all weekend! Please come by! (If you came by yesterday, you know….)
