There really is something so special and so unique to shopping carefully-crafted goods on Etsy. I'm definitely here to say, shop small and shop handmade whenever you can! Whether you're shopping for yourself or for others, I think knowing that there is someone who pours their heart and soul into something they love to do on the other end of your order is so beautiful.

​In particular, I've really been enjoying looking through:

• Stationery (of course! Stickers, art prints, you name it!)
• Jewelry (I absolutely adore personalized jewelry)
• Home Office Decor (I've been wanting to update our home office with unique, yet classic pieces)
• Tech (Along with updating our home office, I've been updating some tech too!)

#30inks30days! Woohoo! This will be my first time participating and I'm pretty jazzed. I've been wanting to start a new ink journal since I wasn't entirely committed or enthralled by the one I had tried to set up previously in my little Hobonichi Techo. This seems like the perfect opportunity for a fresh start and to really start cataloging the inks in my collection. (:

If you're unfamiliar with #30inks30days, you can get more details from Tom through his website. In a nutshell, the idea is to use a different ink every day for the next 30 days. You can share your inks on social media by using the hashtag "#30inks30days" and it's a great way to check out what other inky goodness other pen friends are enjoying!

For Day 2, I decided to share my Robert Oster Dutch Peach ink. This was technically already inked up in my Sailor Pro Gear Yukitsubaki fountain pen, but I figured this was a good opportunity to get it catalogued. 

This ink was kindly gifted to me by my friend, John! (Thank you again, John!) He received an extra one when he purchased his Leonardo Momento Zero fountain pen as part of the Dutch Pen Show 2020 promotion.
