Potatoes and calligraphy? 🥔➕✍🏻    Potatoes have be Potatoes and calligraphy? 🥔➕✍🏻 
 
Potatoes have been used by some to prep their new nibs before use. I’ve always had my doubts, so I made a little experiment to see if it actually works.  
 
Yes it does!  
 
However, I still prefer my own way of cleaning nibs. I just spray rubbing alcohol on a new nib and wipe it off, and it’s ready to use. I hate wasting a potato (even if it’s just a small one) just for my nibs.  
 
What’s your favorite way of prepping new nibs? ✨

I was expecting sunflower yellow… 🌻    Instead, Su I was expecting sunflower yellow… 🌻 
 
Instead, Sunflower Fields surprised me with a warm amber that turns into a burnt-orange shade as it dries. It’s like an entire sunflower field under the late afternoon sun. 
 
It’s warm and earthy, and I can see that it’s perfect for autumn journal spreads, cozy letters, and sketchbook accents. I tried to paint a rose with it, too! 
 
Sometimes the best inks are the ones that don’t match our expectations.

If you’re visiting Tokyo for stationery, don’t ove If you’re visiting Tokyo for stationery, don’t overlook Loft Ikebukuro! ✨
 
While the Shibuya and Ginza branches are popular, I found the Ikebukuro location easier to browse because it felt less crowded during my visit. It also had a great selection of notebooks, pens, inks, and journaling supplies, so I never felt like I was compromising by skipping the busier stores. 
 
It’s four levels within the Seibu Department Store and is just beside the train station. There’s also a small cafe where my kids hung out, while my husband and I took turns shopping.  
 
If you only had time for one Loft, which would you choose?

✨ Kakimori Inks, first impressions! I finally got ✨ Kakimori Inks, first impressions!

I finally got to try the two inks I picked up from @kakimori_japan in Tokyo—Tototo, a rich deep magenta, and Harvest Gold, a warm golden mustard.

Both are beautifully saturated and flowed effortlessly with my glass pen from @auneda. Which one would you add to your collection? 💛💜
