In addition to the new arrivals from earlier this week and the launch of our T.G.S. x Hinze Pen Collaboration, we’ve begun the process of stocking up on inventory for the upcoming D.C. Pen Show and the San Francisco Pen Show! We plan to have our own table in San Francisco, and will be behind the table with our friends at Vanness Pens with a small selection of T.G.S.-exclusive goods in D.C. If any Hinze Pens remain, I will bring them to both shows, but please note that we are over halfway sold through this initial run so I don’t expect there to be a large selection left at that point.

Also in preparation for the D.C. and San Francisco Pen Shows (i.e., to “free up funds” :)), I’ve reactivated the “Gently Used” page with some notebooks and assorted stationery I found as I’ve been sorting through my own personal accumulation. Some are sealed, some are opened, but the notebooks are all unused. There are some less common Baron Fig notebooks and other assorted items that I’m just not going to get around to using. Everything can be combined with general purchases from the shop!

T.G.S. x Hinze Pens Special Edition Fountain Pen + “Summer Sangria” Ink. We’ve collaborated with our friends at Hinze Pens to create this special release version of their “Elementar” fountain pen, complete with a black nano-ceramic nib and a limited edition red fountain pen ink that will only be sold with this initial run of pens.
Stalogy Notebooks (including 2022 and 2023 Special Colors). We now have a large selection of 356-Day and 1/2 year Stalogy notebooks in the shop, in all colors including whatever we could get of the special edition covers in colors like “Fog” and “Forest.”
Stalogy Calendar Stickers. Similar to the undated Midori MD Diary Stickers but with a bit more structure, these removable calendar stickers can help you turn your Stalogy notebook (or any notebook of your choice, actually), into a more structured planner.
Anterique Stationers Ballpoints and Mechanical Pencils. I plan on bringing these excellent ballpoints and mechanical pencils to both shows, and will have them for sale across the full color spectrum! Honestly, I can’t wait to see the reaction to these pens in person. Most people wonder how you can improve upon the basic “click pen” mechanism, and then they feel these.
Midori MD Dip Pens. If you’re seriously into fountain pen inks, you should have at least one dip pen that allows you to sample and compare inks without having to repeatedly ink and clean multiple fountain pens.
Laban Greek Mythology Inks. We’re fully restocked on what’s probably my favorite current ink line, now including the insanely popular Aphrodite Pink (which isn’t really pink?) that nobody can keep in stock.
Midori MD A4 Notebooks. It’s a toss-up between the Midori MD A4 notebooks and the standard A5 for our most popular everyday notebook! Note that both the A4 and the F3 Midori MD Cotton Notebook (the largest one) both fit the Midori A4 Notebook Covers.
Midori MD Light Slim Notebooks (All Sizes). For those looking for a slimmer notebook that can fit different cover systems such as those from Roterfaden or Lochby, in addition to the Midori MD covers, check out the MD Light series. All sizes are available, including A4 with rulings!
Midori MD Light 70th Anniversary Set. We still have stock of the 70th Anniversary MD Light Notebook Sets, which contain 7 different A5 notebooks, each with a different color thread binding and matching grid ruling.
Lochby Venture Pouch. While I’ll also be bringing the rest of the Lochby system to both shows in various quantities, one of the top sellers at pen shows is easily the reversible “Venture Pouch”: a traditional pen pouch on the top, and a zippered pen/gear case when you flip it over. Because the Lochby Gear can be a bit difficult to visualize without seeing it in person, I’ve also started the process of uploading demonstration videos I’ve done to the YouTube Channel, and will be filming more in the future.
