New Boutique In Diest.


Sakura FP Gallery

Recommended Posts

Welcome to our new boutique in Diest !

The SFPG is proud to announce that it will henceforth be housed in a listed property in Diest, with fine parquet floors, timber panelling and a listed stove that all help to give the Gallery an olde-worlde yet tastefully inviting and appealing look and feel.

 

Our boutique has many new features: two writing desks where you can test our pens, a "Wall of ink" with various types of ink that are available in the boutique, a private area where you can discuss a specific assignment and a children's corner where kids can read and have fun. Last but not least, we are at your service and attentive to all your needs, ideas and suggestions.

Located between the well-known Belgian cities of Leuven and Hasselt, Diest is a small dynamic town that has many assets. One practical advantage is the fact that there are very few traffic jams and that it is not difficult to find a parking space! Diest has a very rich history, and many tourists are surprised when they discover the wealth of historical and cultural gems that can be found here. Koning Albertstraat, with its plethora of specialty shops, is the main street that leads from the centre of Diest to the splendid Beguinage Convent. The picturesque market offers a seemingly endless variety of food and drink. After you've visited the gallery, why not take a stroll in the pedestrian shopping street in the centre of the town? And the Warandepark is truly a haven of peace. You can even walk on the water... but that’s something you can discover yourself!

 

We wish you a warm welcome,

Catherine

Koning Albertstraat 72b, 3290 Diest, Belgium.

Congratulations, it's beautiful.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
