Visconti Homo Sapiens Fountain Pen 
Dark Crystal

Montblanc - Writer's Edition Jane Austen Umber Ink (I sprinkled some water to highlight the undertones in this beautiful gray ink)

I had the opportunity to test another pen, thanks to Peter and @clarecoco_
What a glorious experience. 

Modern Art experience inspired by @ichi.day

About the Visconti Excerpt from Atlas:
As with the original Homo Sapiens, the Dark Crystal is made from volcanic lava rock making the pen virtually unbreakable, naturally hygroscopic and very comfortable to write with. All trims are made from steel with ruthenium plating and the cap closes with Visconti's patented 'hook safe lock'. The Homo Sapiens Dark Crystal is a must-have for every Visconti pen enthusiast. by @hellomrsrandom

Omg, aren't these stickers by @thousandskies so adorably perfect?  Thank you @mk.scribbles for thinking of me during your adventures at the SF Pen Show 🥹

Here are some of my many ink swatch books. Yes, there are more ways than this that I swatch 😵‍💫 And, for the most part, they bring me so much pleasure. by @hellomrsrandom

If you ever have the opportunity to take a workshop with @suzettes_pretty_pages  I strongly recommend it. I was able to take her workshop at the 2026 Orlando Pen show.

Artist and Interior Designer Suzette Perez teaches creative journaling and tunnel pages. When I first heard of tunnel pages, I wasn't sure what they were. Perhaps its her design training that helped her see beyond one page...one main picture.  Can you simply pick up some paper, scissors and ephemera and begin? Yes. But some of us need that gentle push to start. Your aesthetic may not be aligned with Suzette's but I guarantee that taking the class will inspire you to cut, glue and find ways to use the piles of ephemera you have been hoarding, i mean collecting...for years. 

I'm looking forward to turning the paper keepsakes I've been saving into something creative that preserves the memories behind them.

Thanks Suzette for the inspiration! by @hellomrsrandom

For my love of Snoopy. A big thank you to my friend Ruth @hellomrsrandom for going to a 5 different Starbucks to find some of the Snoopy items the morning of the launch. You’re never too old for Snoopy. #snoopy #snoopylover #snoopy_cutest #makesmesmile by @hellomrsrandom

5th Annual Orlando Pen Show 2026

Sometimes, going to a pen show or an event that caters to your obsession is necessary and beneficial to your mental health. Its truly so much fun gathering with like minded people who "get it". 

Do you need another pen? -- Yes!
Do you need more ink? --- YES!!! 

Even as a shy introvert, like me, you may find some kindred spirits and make new friends to enable you. 

Here are some new to me things I collected. I'll be sharing experiences in separate posts. 

Old Bald Man Pens- two pre loved Parker fountain pens.

Bonecrusher Studio - pair resin turtle pen rests

Stationer's Emporium - Exclusive Fountain Pen Inks "Library at Dusk" and "Blue Spuce" made by @dominantindustry

"We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents." Bob Ross

I printed an adorable monthly calendar on washi sticker paper but was unhappy with how it wrinkled when I put it down (major props to all the small shops that do full page covers btw!!!). In the end i decided to cut out the page and tipped in this adorable vellum from @thecoffeemonsterzco using @pion2015 washi tape.

On the left side you find seal stickers from TCMC, Positive Affirmation stickers by @aglitterylifeplans and some sparkles.

I feel happy every time I see it. by @hellomrsrandom

My random assortment of items picked up on Hobonichi Day 2027

Honestly, I already have an A5 "planner" in hand from @fadedchronicle which is perfect for me and my family.

However, I was intrigued by the theme set forth by Hobonichi for 2027. Then, when I saw the adorable A5 cover designed by @yumikitagishi, I knew I was ordering ✨. It captured by heart with the soft pink and hand drawn village scenery (a larger screenshot is on the last slide).

The Japan exclusive Hello Kitty brought me back to Kindergarten. The nostalgia was STRONG.  I used to have a red Hello Kitty 🍎 wallet that I would put my lunch ticket in every day 🎫. So I'm grateful to my cousin who helped me acquire a few of the items from the collection.

.
"The new theme for the Hobonichi Techo 2027 is “LIFE GROWS.” This year’s theme reflects the sense of attachment that grows between a Hobonichi Techo and its user over the course of a year. Even in these uncertain times, the future is contained within every techo....

.
.
.
The news these days can be heartbreaking to watch, but if the theme “LIFE GROWS” helps us rediscover the feeling that the future hasn’t been lost, I think it could bring us all joy."

My hope for MYSELF and us is that we can rediscover joy and hope and-- at any life stage, experience GROWTH. 

How about you? Did you pick up a 2027 Hobonchi for yourself?...or did you leave IYKYK 😉 by @hellomrsrandom

Diamine x Blueblack 
아이스 아메리카노 (Ice Americano)

☕ Iced Americano — the ninth ink in the Seoul City set from BlueBlack Pen Shop x Diamine.

A warm, dark chocolate-coffee brown that softens into reddish dark brown on uncoated paper. This ink looks like an Iced Americano without any cream , the way I prefer— the ink equivalent of my favorite everyday order.

From the 150th Anniversary collection — a rich, cool-toned medium brown with subtle shading and a striking medium black sheen. Smooth, sophisticated. 

I first tried this ink in 2024, then acquired a full bottle from @cultpens in 2025 when I couldn't get this ink out of my mind. 

MD Paper swatch stamp is from @kim_catdoo purchased from 
@kuboandlucy

Fountain Pen is Sailor Cafe Creme, German Exclusive found when @pactagon
posted about grinding them to a Naginata Togi. Yes, this one from the batch 🤭
