I got three packages of Midori E-Clips. I think they count as stationery. The sets are stationery, space and dinosaurs. There are 4 of each, and can hold up t

I like these!  I use the T-Rex and Stegosaurus clips all the time in my planning notebook.

@Misfit I bought a set of those at a manga shop across town from me, but just bought the ones that have the "cat" design.  Don't know if they had the set in your first photo (including the pen & ink ones).  The "space" design ones are just SOOOO you!  And the dinosaur ones are awfully cute....

  This is what I know about Tomoe River paper: there were always 2 machines, #7 made the 52 gsm and #9 made the 68gsm. #7 started having problems and was on the struggle bus for a long time. Sometime in the end of the last decade the manufacturer decided that the maintenance #7 required was getting to be too difficult. The 52 gsm was then also made on #9 (“new” TR 52). The paper recipe and machine (s?) were sold to Sakae. Sakae makes 52 gsm Tomoe River Successor (TR “S”).  Meanwhile, the 68 gsm is in some sort of purgatory. I have old stock, some that was sold to me as new but turned out to be old, and there’s talk that 68gsm is gone and that Sakae is trying to develop a higher gsm TR paper. 

 

  Aww darn. I meant Sanzen rather than Sakae. Good catch, @Runnin_Ute!

The Jet Pens order arrived today. The Life Vermilion is A6 size. The Midliner is Lavender color. The eraser is a foam eraser that is supposed to erase cleanly. The lead is for some mechanical pencils I found on my Dad’s desk that take 0.9mm lead. Finally, a Pilot MR Houndstooth with CM nib. I put a sample of Montblanc Oyster gray ink in it. The notepad I used is a Midori Diamond notepad, which I highly recommend.

Two orders tonight. First for the most on topic..... A couple of Apica CD7 pocket size notebooks, a 80 ml bottle of Diamine Classic Red. (finished off the last one) from Vanness. 

 

Went over to Newton and picked up a Majestic in a material called "D Squared Arts Urban Offroader". Very cool gray/tan combo. Very industrial looking.
