Sailors' 20-25% price hike for the US market is crazy... $590 MSRP for a Pro Gear is highway robbery... I bought a new KoP for less than that just a couple of months ago smh And, since these price increases were determined before the tariffs, I wouldn't be surprised if they raise prices even more 😩

I keep eyeing nice fountain pen storage boxes... so I decided to DIY my own instead I think this fabric display insert came out alright for a first attempt, but I know I can make it better 😀

I finally got around to trying out the Wearingeul A5 Impressions swatch cards I picked up from Soe & Soe a couple of months ago. I think I like them more than the col-o-ring cards I've been using!

I got a Godox iM22 for my a6700, and look how smol and cute it is

Otto Hutt Design 06 Fountain Pen in Seashell Pink and Rose Gold trim. I have an 18k extra fine on it right now. πŸ’™πŸ–‹

Just pulled the trigger on a #Sony a6700 and #Sigma 18-50 f/2.8 πŸ“· It was hard to choose between the sigma 18-50 f/2.8 and tamron 17-70 f/2.8, but I think I'll prefer the portability of the sigma. Can't wait for them to arrive πŸ€—

30 inks, 30 days: April 2025 Day 8 - Anderillium "Tolype Moth Warm" - Otto Hutt Design 06 18k <EF> The 18k extra fine nib in this pen arrived today from BigPen in the UK... it's not as bouncy as the steel broad nib that I bought the pen with, but it's still smooth and pleasant to use πŸ‘ŒπŸ» πŸ’™πŸ–‹
