A number of us here have a love of pen porn and wanted to know if there was a grubby little corner you could stick us into??

And if MN wanted to create special personalised pens for us as well we will love you forever...

That ink sounds nice, I like subtle colour changes.

I need ink in my life. Haven't actualy used my fountain pens for years because I found doing my signature difficult with it. Must be the nib type but now I have nno ink to practice with Sad and still no money to spare for fripperies

I have just treated myself to one of these little beauties: www.cultpens.com/i/q/KW44828/kaweco-sport-skyline-metallic-purple-special-edition-fountain-pen

I don't need it but I couldn't resist the colour and its handy pocket size.

While I was buying, I noticed Cult Pens currently have an offer whereby a couple of uni-ball air rollerball pens are on a Try for 20p sampler deal at the moment. You can only buy one of each (or I could) but seemed like a great deal. Here are the links in case anyone is interested:

Aargh. Frozen. Stop it now.

What remains of my self control has just been completely exhausted by the effort of walking away from the Clearance section of the Cult Pens website.

Oops sorry stealthsquiggle Blush. I too hope you get a really good birthday Grin

AtiaoftheJulii · 11/05/2016 17:52

These arrived today, personalised of course. I have no idea when I will use correspondence cards, but surely they'll come in handy!

AtiaoftheJulii · 11/05/2016 17:57

I've got these on order too. I am on a placement with loads of night shifts atm, don't know whether I'm coming or going half the time, and certainly don't have any time to go OUT and spend money, so instead I'm drooling over correspondence cards as if I'm out of a Georgette Heyer story!

PigeonPie · 11/05/2016 17:58

Atia, those are rather beautiful.

I usually make and print my own (easily done printed on card through the laser printer - although the card is the standard 160gsm - and cut up with the paper trimmer), but I think I might need to re-design them!

Me too crazy

I love looking through all the links and dreaming about purchases I'd like to make if only the bank manager would let me

FrozenAteMyDaughter · 12/05/2016 12:28

Ooh my pens arrived yesterday from Cultpens. I love the Kaweco fountain pen. Perfect pocket size. Also the package came with a free Staedtler triplus fineliner in neon green and a packet of Haribo, so something for everyone. I will order from them again!

CrazyDuchess · 12/05/2016 16:37

Some men would like pictures of naked ladies.... some men would like pictures of naked men.... Wink
Some men would like pictures of cars, trains, motorbikes, footballers...

This man, however, likes pictures of stationery...
i feel there should be a hastag like the kids do #penporn #pensexual.

CrazyDuchess · 13/05/2016 17:08

Hahaha Seeyou

Although as much as I like pictures of #Penporn I do love a good picture of Henry Cavill - yum!

Over in the litter tray you cannot pension a new cartwithout demands for pictures - I think the same rules apply here

forthwith by decree of the CrazyDuchess, from this point forward any mention of aquiring a new pen, pencil or any other item considered stationery must be accompanied by pictorial evidence

Fuck you would have thought I'd been drinking by that post Blush

I meant in the litter tray you cannot mention a new cat without providing pictures

My cultpens order of whiteboard pen refills arrived with some haribo starmix in the envelope. I love cultpens.

Ooops, just read the above.

This is the starmix now. Grin

I've just discovered 17 books of post it notes and a box of yellow BICs stashed in a cupboard. My husband is a secret stationary hoarder! Grin

Does he wash up too? he's a keeper. Grin

we were in 'Ull yesterday and we looked in a few stationery shops. My Gf didn't share my excitement unfortunately, she tutted and got inpatient. I didn't buy anything either, i was just perving

I hope you did this face at her Hmm!

I thought I was the only one! Been into all kinds of stationery since a kid. I have some super cute post-its with different kinds of owls on that I use at work (to selected people only!). It even gets excited has a cute cover with owls on. Poundland did/does fun things and cheap.
