The Stationery Cupboard

[CrazyDuchess]

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 is a beautiful set - are you any good at calligraphy??

My new ink has finally arrived (pen and converter arrived day before yesterday).

Oohh pigeon- what colour is that??

Damn it I am going to have to treat myself to a new pen, converter, grey inknow and a journal!

Call for help - I need recommendations on pen and a journal to work with grey inks!

Time for another stationery related pic...

Am feeling poorly (okay okay it's just a little cold) so am going to look at lovely things on t'Internet all day long. I think it might make me better if I buy pretty things.

Oh and I should mention that I dreamt of fountain pens last night... my fellow pensexuals are the only people who will understand.

Haha current looking for a silver fountain pen - would you recommend a fine nib?

Haha okay Chroma book done - now help me find a pen!!!

Ahhh I have a parker vector that doesn't leak.

Don't worry no eviction..... we are all freaks here

I have never realised how big the world of of stationary is

Does anyone have a link for beautiful unusual writing paper (not cards)?

I need some quick advice (impatient to place an order and WHSmith have some offers!!)
Very unusually I have some unexpected money to spend on myself office sweepstake winnings so I want to buy a pen. I know it isn't much money in the scheme of all things pen but I could do with some advice.
What would you recommend? I don't like the Lamy Safari clip on the lid fussy. I do like the look of these .........

Thanks

Dontknow - I have some lovely stuff which DH got me (even though he fails to understand why I haven't used it yet) - I will check later and try and find a link to the supplier.

Duchess the ink is from a bottle of Sheaffer purple. Tis rather beautiful even though I say so myself; which is more than can be said of my handwriting!

I wouldn't dare take a picture only my handwriting .... yours is lovely

Duchess, you're very kind, but really that was my bestest handwriting 'cos I was showing off my pen and ink and couldn't think of another way!

Hahaha I am just about to treat myself to exactly the same Lamy! These threads are going to bankrupt me!

C'mon MNHQ - we really need a Stationery Cupboard. There's so much to discuss, not just pens. There's:

Pencils
Lots of different types of pens
Labels
Label printers
Other printers
Guillotines and paper trimmers
Laminators
Sellotape dispensers
Rulers
Files and folders

And so much more I may or may not be able to see in the study while sitting at my desk

Pretty please

I said this on another thread, but my children requested a laminator & box of laminating pockets from Santa last Christmas. They are 10 and 8 - and clearly have their priorities straight.

Mmmm - label printers. I love my Brother P80. I label everything that doesn't move fast enough. DD is nearly as bad.

I have a binding machine as well.
I haven't used it as much as I thought I would, but y'know, I had to have one

And a labelling machine
And a laminator
