Hi all, the people behind 'UK Pen Shows' have decided to branch-out this year, and they are advertising a Pen Show in Singapore - the 'Home of the Merlion' - in November! The show will be held on the 28th & 29th November 2025. For full details - location, times, prices of admission - here is a link to the webpage for the show. Slàinte, M.

Singapore Pen Show - 28th & 29th November 2025 As its name suggests, this one is not going to be in the UK, but is in 'the home of the Merlion'! Details here. I don't know why the organisers don't advertise these events here themselves - it seems like an obvious way to drum-up interest to me 🤷‍♂️ Then again, I suppose that as I'm doing it for them already, there isn't that much need for them to bother Slàinte, M.

Planners and paper are my original love, because without them there is nothing to write on with my pens. 😉 Planner season is hot on our heels at the moment. Midori planners are announced, and Hobonichi is doing their August stadium previews with September 1 orders coming up. I have used a Hobonichi Original for the past 2 years, but as I have been loving my Travelers journal and it's weekly vertical insert, I want to change it up and get a weeks I can slip into my clear pocket when I want to carry everything. I miss the tomoe river paper when I am using it, but I am really reaching for it as a practicality. Let's talk about upcoming planners what everyone likes to use and wants to try! Post your favorite vendors to get planners. Share your bullet journal methods. Make sure our pens have plenty of work to do. Hobonichi previews thus far are all below in case anyone hasn't seen them yet ... 👀 I'm surprisingly really liking the gold fabric but we are yet to see what happens ...
