So I stole this pen. I don’t remember who I stole it from or when. I just remember being delighted by how wonderful it felt writing with it. Jet black ink, smooth glide. It’s been a couple of months now. I’ve began journaling daily just to use the pen, and felt back in love with writing by hand. Completely different experience compared to typing. Like painting with language. Anyway, the pen is Pilot v-ball 0.5 if anyone’s interested.

Also I one of my favorite pens! I actually was quite shocked when a fundraising circular was delivered and had a FLAT pen in it that had a surprisingly smooth write. UNsurprisingly it ran out almost instantly!

I love this idea! Even though I met my husband in 2009, we started our relationship by exchanging letters through snail mail because we cherished the romances of the past. Now, nearly 13 years later, I treasure those letters even more, especially considering we could have simply messaged each other on Facebook instead. xo

I just love the idea of hiding old letters and drawings in between books on a shelf. I am so going to adopt that ❤️📚
