DWRDNet Stationery Feed Season Two with Nick Dominguez (via dwrdnet). Derek has kicked off season two of his series of interviews with people from around the stationery community, and in this episode he sat down with Nick Dominguez, with whom we’ve collaborated on our recent Rickshaw release.
February Inks (via Pen Addict). Kimberly has 14 more pens inked up with red and pink inks for February! In addition to her already-impressive currently inked lineup.
What Are You Taking to Work? (via SBRE Brown). I enjoy seeing what people take to work with them and use in their day-to-day life. I need to do a video like this at some point and walk through my work carry.
Esterbrook Estie Raven Oversized (via Figboot on Pens). The Estie Raven was a popular standard release, and the oversized version has now hit stores.
Why the Pentel Sharp Mechanical Drafting Pencil Is Perfect for Me (via Pen Addict). Brad reviews a stationery classic from the world of mechanical pencils. These used to be everywhere, and I probably have a dozen or so around my house.
Feed Your Creativity - Live with River City Pen Company (via Feed Your Creativity). A chat with Rich from River City on what he’s working on, new inks, and more.
Wearingeul Reservoir Thread Note B6 (via Well-Appointed Desk). Another ink-friendly notebook in the increasingly popular B6 size. I can vouch for the growing B6 fan-base, both in standard B6 and the “café” size B6 slim.
Just a wee bit chilly in NYC this past week. Ice-in-the-river type of cold.
In Case You Missed It…
We focused on thawing out a bit this week in Nashville, and I managed to get away for a couple days to attend the NYNow and Shoppe Object trade shows in New York City, both of which have strong stationery components. I also wrote a bit about my travel kit for 2026, as I’m definitely gearing up for a lot of travel in the coming months with three shows on the horizon.
This week in the T.G.S. Curated Shop
It’s restock season, as all of the post-holiday reorders we placed are arriving! We have fresh shipments of Midori MD, Nakabayashi, and Lochby, as well as new Life Noble Note 6-ring binder refills and some new journals from NOLTY. The latest Pilot Explorer releases also arrived, which feature matte finishes in four new colors. Finally, we welcome Benu fountain pens to our lineup, with the new “Haute” series of squared barrels and several gorgeous new acrylics. Be sure to check out each week’s “Weekly Drops” post for a full list of new arrivals and restocks.
We will be open this week normal hours, from 1pm-6pm Thursday and Friday and from 10am-6pm Saturday. Please note that the following week, hours will be modified as we will be attending the California Pen Show. I will post updated hours later this week once I finalize support for the in-person shop when I’m out.
