If I had to pick a true “favorite” section of the shop, it would be the desk and reading accessories, because this entire product segment has become a personal curation of items that I use regularly. We’ve recently brought in additional items from Levenger, ranging from the simple (Aero Clips and Page Nibs) to the more luxurious (bomber jacket leather pen cases that hold up to seven pens AND feature a zipper pouch). And we’ve added additional layouts of Levenger’s “Freeleaf” notepads, which come in grey and color-shaded annotation layouts, as well as a “vintage library” style that looks like a giant library card. Levenger was one of the brands that got me into stationery many years ago, and we’re thrilled to be able to offer it in our own shop.

Hightide Sandglasses have also returned, including new bicolor versions in 30-minute and 10-minute variations. These hourglasses were one of our first big hits, and they’re a perennial seller around the holidays (though they’re also fun to gift year-round). These new colors stand out, especially the larger version which makes a statement on your desk.

Finally, it’s last call for the InCoWriMo special! February is International Correspondence Writing Month (InCoWriMo), and for the days that remain, take an extra 10% off certain letter-writing supplies using the code “SNAILMAIL” at checkout. Note that our brick-and-mortar hours will be slightly modified on Saturday, with the store opening an hour early and closing at 3pm.
