Several giant boxes welcomed me back from vacation, despite my best efforts to slowly ramp things back up! This week’s big announcement is the arrival of the 2023 Diamine Inkvent Calendar, which is in-stock and available to ship immediately. A big goal of mine going forward is to have more fun with pens and ink, so I’m planning to play along with Inkvent this year. Starting in December, I’ll be doing some sort of daily reveal of that day’s “Inkvent” color. (For those of you unfamiliar with Diamine’s now-annual tradition, the Inkvent Calendar is their take on the traditional Advent Calendar, only instead of chocolate, etc., the “window” for each day contains one of 24 12ml bottles of ink, plus a larger 30ml bottle on the 25th day.)
Clairefontaine Writing Pads, Huge Multi-Subject Notebooks, and More
I know what you’re all going to say - I just can’t get away from this lawyer thing, can I? But as you’ll read about in tomorrow’s blog post, one of the most common questions I get asked is for a recommendation on a decent legal-style writing pad. A personal favorite, in terms of both performance and cost-effectiveness, are the Clairefontaine “Pupitre” tablets, which come in both A5 and A4 sizes. (In addition to classic glue-bound pads, we also carry a top-bound spiral version of the Pupitre.) Finally, we now carry the BIG version of the Clairefontaine multi-subject notebook, featuring four different sections of colored Clairefontaine Paper - a whopping 112 sheets/224 pages.
New T.G.S. Stickers and Pins Are Available, and Details on Our October Promotion!
Three large pen shows in two months cleaned me out of T.G.S. Promotional items, including the stickers and buttons I normally carry. A major restock trickled in over the past five days, and we now have “Swag Packs” on offer once again, which include one coaster, a large 3” sticker, a smaller 2” holographic sticker, a button, and an acrylic pin featuring the T.G.S. Logo. (The acrylic TGS pins are available individually.) Patreon Members should check the program feed this week, as I’ll be posting some additional information - certain long-term supporters will be receiving Swag Packs automatically!
Also, starting today, certain orders placed this month will receive some of these new stickers and pins automatically as follows - no coupon code required:
Orders over $150 will receive a complimentary Acrylic Pin AND either a holographic sticker or one of the large 3” stickers, depending on availability.
Orders that qualify for free shipping ($75+) will receive one of the holographic stickers or one of the large 3” stickers.
All other orders will receive a free TGS button or 2” sticker!
Many thanks for all your support!
