Today is the sixth annual Fountain Pen Day!
It was established in 2012 ‘to help embrace, promote, and share the use of fountain pens in day-to-day life, as well to help revive handwriting as a whole’.
I’m celebrating with a giveaway with Pen Chalet. You could win a Caran d’Ache 849 fountain pen (check out the fab range of colours on their site) and a bottle of Organics Studio Nitrogen Royal Blue ink (also available in some pretty epic colours).
To be in with a chance of winning, just complete the Gleam entries below.

Be sure to follow #FountainPenDay for more offers and giveaways.
Happy writing!


I am obsessed with notebooks. I have a top wardrobe shelf filed as in a library with varying sizes, colours and an index depicting subjects within. !!!
That’s awesome!!!
What a great idea! Makes me wish I live in the UK…
I absolutely love stationery, especially new stationery. It gives me a sense of new beginnings, hope and infinite potential. I also have a love of notebooks and planners. There is something so enticing about a new notebook. A blank page to be filled with dreams, aspirations and plans. It’s a safe place where my ideas are welcomed and encouraged.
I adore all kinds of stationery! My latest acquisition is some rubber stamps (my favourite being a “smail mail” one) and a metallic purple ink pad. I always use fountain pens to write to my pen pals and just love the vast array of inks to go with them 🙂
