It’s calendar season! And not just time to pre-order your 2025 planners, but it’s also time to pick up the Advent-style calendar of your choice. This year, we’re fortunate enough to be able to offer two limited edition “ink calendars”: the Inkvent “Black Edition” Calendar from Diamine, and the new “Colorvent” Calendar from Colorverse! If you recall, last year I had an absolute blast working my way through the 2023 Inkvent set, and I ended up recording a short video of each ink as I opened and swatched it. I plan to do the same this year, though I’m still trying to decide whether to pick one of the two calendars or try to do both. Any suggestions?!?
I will add that if you have your heart set on a Colorvent Calendar, these are in extremely short supply. We have a fairly large allocation of the Inkvent Calendars but don’t sleep on the Colorverse as they are rapidly selling out. Our allocation should arrive later this week or early next and will ship immediately as soon as we have them.
The 58th Anniversary Lamy 2000 Lands in the Shop!
I’m personally tempted on this one, but I also need to pay inventory bills for the holidays! We’ve received a number of the latest Lamy 2000 limited edition fountain pens in a dark “Pine” green color. Each pen ships in a luxury gift set, featuring a matching dark green notebook and a biography of Gerd A. Müller, designer of the Lamy 2000 and other products. The pens are in our hands and available to ship immediately, and can be seen in-person at our brick-and-mortar location.
Don’t Forget About Our Ongoing Free Ink Promotion!
From now until Fountain Pen Day (Friday, November 1), we’re also running a sales promo, in which any fountain pen purchase of $30 or more from our shop will include a small bottle of ink free of charge. This will likely be a small bottle of Herbin, Anderillium, Diamine, or other ink that we have in our “sample chest”. The color will be a surprise, though we will do our best to match it to your pen! The $30 purchase limit excludes shipping, but you can reach that number by combining a fountain pen with other items. (i.e., you can purchase a $15 fountain pen and add a $15 notebook, and still have that qualify as a “Fountain Pen purchase” for purposes of the promotion). See the full details, as well as the details of our pre-Fountain Pen Day giveaway, here.
