I recently purchased some items from Stylus Fine Pens in Edmonton, Alberta. It's one of the few places that carries those marvellous Blackwing Palomino pencils, as well as blotting paper, and a lovely jet-black ink from Noodler's (okay, so now you know my order).
Check it out. The online ordering was simple, and everything arrived in the mail quickly. I love it when I can get great service and a wide assortment of items, without having to pay the duty charges on a U.S. shipment.

I was just reading the latest edition of Nib Noise. It's an email newsletter that comes from Richard Binder Fountain Pens and it's great reading. If you've never visited Richard's site, do so - lots of pens to buy (and his service is great), but even better, there are pages and pages of great info, including pen history, how the various types of pens should be filled, and how to take care of your pens. Find it all by clicking here.

I have some links to sites that pen fans shouldn't miss!
First up, there's the London Pen Club, in London, Ontario - find them by clicking here.
And on top of the site, the London club has a blog - find it by clicking here.
And then all the way out to the west coast - check out the Vancouver Pen Club by clicking here.

I discovered a great site today - Writer's Bloc Blog. It's filled with great photos and reviews of various pens and paper, and is a must for those of us who love to play with pens. Find it by clicking here.

A couple of cool links for today. I've never got the hang of electronic calendars -- I call my notebook my iPad. So if you prefer good old-fashioned paper for your notes, check out Pocket Mod. It's a free download that lets you print a personal organizer on a sheet of paper, and then fold it into a little booklet.
I also love clocks, and online, my favorite is the Industorious Clock. Be careful -- it'll gradually remind you of how much time you've spent watching it.
