Spent all day fulfilling ink sample orders! Thank you to everyone who’s helping me cut through my massive hoard of fountain pen ink bottles. If you’re interested in ordering, take a look at my collection then message me to purchase!
Pssst — I’m destashing tons of fountain pen ink and sending out samples! Over 200+ bottles to browse starting at only $4/sample. Please take a look and help me get through my massive collection. 🫶
One beautiful fountain pen: the Nahvalur Stylophora Berry. Rose gold trim piston filler with a stub nib. I purchased this two years ago during fountain pen day! ✒️

Unrelated: Did anyone catch my IG stories over this past weekend and see the totally new desk I set up? 👀 I’m so excited to show it off and make content from my new space! I plan to post about it on my feed next week, but if you’d like some sneak peeks, make sure to head to any of my other social channels (link in bio) for videos and pictures. It’s a TOTAL departure from this light and airy desk covered in pink and gilded porcelain, and I can’t wait for you to meet my new desk baby. 🫶
My Dark Academia desk setup is finally complete! I spent about a day picking and choosing items for the desk decor (while still keeping it functional, of course), then proceeded to deck out the wall with dried flowers, stamped vellum, torn pages of poetry and music or botany encyclopedic entries, as well as prints from some of my favorite artists I’ve acquired over the years.
Left: Grabbed a bunch of my modern but aged brass stationery tools to add the color accents I want to complete the aesthetic.
Right: Scanned photos from my various art books of Leonardo Da Vinci’s anatomy drawings, as well as a rose painting from Pierre Joseph Redoute.
I have tons of vellum scraps I’ve saved for who even knows what, which came in handy when deciding to stamp it with botany decor to add some layered interest to my wall collage.
Desk mess. The first layer of decor on my wall was pretty much set up at this point, but I still needed to figure out how to add more interest to the area.
Complete. Candles arranged, real dried flowers (taken from saved bouquets gifted from my husband I once hung to dry but never decorated with), and a place for everything.
More photos:
Bottom left, you can see my antique dip pens and Victorian era pencils + nib holders added to the black plate. There’s also a wax seal furnace on the bottom right of the image — for those letter writing moments I’m eager to dive into.
Overall, I’m really pleased with how everything looks and am so excited to work from here! I’ve always wanted a moodier corner with a Dark Academia theme in my office, especially as my main work area is very baroque/rococo themed and quite bougie/feminine in contrast. I needed an area where I could photograph my darker stationery, more masculine pens, and rich leathers.
I’ve spent the last week transferring a TON of sticker sheets into this sticker release paper insert! I’m so excited to absolutely stuff this little TN Passport-sized cover full of tons of little organized and sorted sticker albums. I can finally access my stickers more easily and use them instead of hoarding them like a crazy stationery dragon. 🤸♀️✨
Another day in my illustrated journal. I’ve been watching a lot of K-Drama lately. It’s so soothing! The characters are so polite and nice, and the food looks so yummy. And I just love the slow-burn pace of all the romances. It’s so satisfying when people finally kiss or tell each other they love each other. 🥹
