Pilot Falcon Fountain Pens in the Shop!

January 7, 2016 by wonderpens 2 Comments

We’ve got a few exciting projects and things in the works planned out for the next few months, and this is the first of them! We’re now carrying the Pilot Falcon fountain pen. I know, I know: good grief, finally. For a long time now we’ve been asked about some of the higher level Pilot pens, … [Read more…]

A Visit From Pilot: Japan’s Pilot Corporation Visits Wonder Pens

November 20, 2015 by wonderpens 9 Comments

Crazy things are happening around here! Caleb has learned to walk backwards, and now he’s doing this crazy moonwalking/shuffling backwards thing all the time. He hasn’t fallen over yet because he takes very, very tiny steps, but it’s just a matter of time. Some folks from Pilot Corporation in Japan came and visited our shop. Crazy! … [Read more…]

Another surprise for us! While I’m always walking around and moaning at the long wait time to get special orders item in for Pilot all the way from Japan, usually around 3-4 months, the upside is that it’s always a wonderful surprise when things turn up!

I hope you’re all having a great week so far! I think it might be a shorter week for most of us, with the holiday on Monday. If you’ve walked through the building over the last few weeks you may have noticed signs indicating that the annual fire alarm system testing takes place today and … [Read more…]

Pilot Kakuno :)

July 9, 2015 by wonderpens 8 Comments

When we receive shipments in from our distributors or manufacturers, Jon likes to organize it all in a calm and efficient manner – clearing off space, getting invoices out, counting. He hates it when he’s trying to count the pens and it seems like something is missing, but it’s really just already in my hand … [Read more…]

I always thought I was a dog person until we got Chicken, our shop cat. He is everything a cat is known for: by turns aloof, affectionate, unimpressed, playful, willfully ill behaved, sweet, demanding, obnoxious, hungry, picky, and completely unknowable. He has been disdainfully educating me on what it means to be a cat person, harasses the dog regularly, and remains the most popular member of our shop team.

Cat lovers rejoice: with me, you can now ponder all of life’s mysteries and questions with feline advice. from a tarot deck of the ultimate in cat characters. Who else could truly understand and direct a cat person’s life but a cat?

A surprise appearance by a few of these beauties: the Lamy 2000 Bauhaus in a dark, elegant blue makrolon. This is a numbered limited edition, and comes in a gift box with a thick, hard bound notebook. Our first batch went so fast we didn’t have time to post it, and so we’re glad to receive just a few more.

My analogue system for 2020: 
1) Hobonichi Techo Avec (daily pocket notebook)
2) Traveler’s Notebook for work/organizing
3) Traveler’s Notebook for journaling/personal
4) Midori 3-year Diary for a few lines a day
5) Superior Labor Pen and Wallet Case

More details on the blog (link in profile), but this has been a tweak of previous years, which it seems I’m always doing. I’m most looking forward to seeing how the Techo will fit into daily life, to jot down lists, ideas, things to remember, in a looser, more disposable way, in the structure of a page-a-day, which may/will also help me look back when needed. 
Anyone else have their 2020 system organized?
