blog staycation

Posted by Chloe - July 12th, 2011

I have been noticeably absent from the blog lately, so instead of prolonging the silence I wanted to report that I will be taking somewhat of a blog staycation. I will still post, but with less frequency than previously and my posts will be smaller (quick little snippets of design, pet, products I love, etc…). So things may look and feel a little different!

Well how exciting! Did you know that April is National Letter Writing Month? It has been checked and verified … and a google search of “national letter writing month” will confirm just how many people are excited about it.

In honor of National Letter Writing Month, I will be sending out notes to all my panpals on my MOCHIE-ROO Snail Mail list. Not on it yet? You can sign up below! Don’t miss out.

Writing Utensils

03/14/11 – UPDATE! My Furst mechanical pencil is AMAZING! I am thoroughly enjoying it. It came in the post while I was away in Phoenix this past weekend; what a pleasant surprise in my postbox! I have been using it non-stop for all my writing needs this evening. If you are in the market for a flat out classic and classy pencil – get one of these from Herb Lester!

My love for organization includes office supplies, which also includes writing utensils. About a month ago, I got my first real-deal fountain pen, a German made Lamy. It is a beauty. Well, today I found the perfect German-made mechanical pencil to accompany my fountain pen: a Furst 2mm HB lead mechanical pencil. It is coming from Herb Lester Associates (I also bought on of their maps) across the big pond, from England, so it’ll be a week at least ’til I receive it. I cannot wait!

My Lamy has come to be my only writing utensil; including for writing my notes for MOCHIE-ROO’s Snail Mail List.
