Hi everyone!

I only recently discovered this website and from the little i've read it's quickly becoming one of my favourite sourcing tools.

I'm currently brainstorming the idea of opening a combo papery/art gallery in my city. I'm quite passionate about both and feel the concept would do really well.
I can't remember when my obsession with notebooks began and honestly... who cares?!
Notebooks are fabulous!!

Lately, i've been buying new books based on the look rather than overall paper quality.
My new favourites would have to be Apica, Midori, and Artemis.

I can't say i'm too much of a writing instrument enthusiast but I do love my Caran d'Ache mechanical pencil.

I'm always looking for new brands and would love to hear what people have to say about the many different collections out there.

Welcome aboard. Lots of knowledge here. Jump in and enjoy.

The shop sounds like a great idea! I hope you enjoy FPN.

Hi and welcome.

I am a recent convert to Apica and find the paper quality very good! Have a great time in the forum and a good weekend!

There's lots of info here.

Hi, glad to see another Ottawan join the group. There's a few of us here.

If you are interested, I'd be happy to provide info on the OFPS - Ottawa Fountain Pen Society, which meets monthly. We'd love to have you.

Always looking for new sources of paper and writing stuff - Good luck with your idea.
