Meeting @inkwandererssociety Stephanie & Aimee and @mintandsilk Mari was a highlight of the TSL Kurashiki visit. We were in line an hour before the shop opened, and it was super fun talking pens and inks and stationery with them! In the shop, it was fun to share the excitement and geek out over our planned notebooks 😁
For our latest Japan trip, we had multiple itineraries. A food itinerary, day trips itinerary, pen & ink itinerary, a stationery itinerary… many planned stops! This was a big one for me: @t.s.l_store in Kurashiki, for a customized traveler’s notebook. I kept it simple, and I love the final result 💕 The process was super fun, and meeting the ladies of @inkwandererssociety and @mintandsilk was a true highlight. Aimee was so kind to let me take the last standard size notebook in stock that day, and I am grateful! More photos in my next post! #dustinbingtravels
hotel room lighting is no substitute for the pen shop lighting 🤦🏻♀️ but here is my new @bungubox_japan Pro-Sushi-On Platinum Procyon 😄🍣 It writes great and didn’t break the bank!
my stationery-loving heart is so happy in Japan 💕 photos soon to come from today’s fun stop at @bungubox_japan 🖋️ Their staff was so welcoming there, and the neighborhood in which the shop is located is great 🥰
