It’s almost vacation time for me, and what a vacation it is going to be. I’m heading to Japan soon, so for the first time in as long as I can remember, The Pen Addict blog will be quiet for a couple of weeks.
If you want to follow along with what I am up to you can follow me on Instagram. I’m going to try and post there regularly, but we will see how it goes. It’s a big adventure, and I am ready for it.
Things will return to normal on these pages on November 9th. Talk soon!
Each week in Refill, the Pen Addict Members newsletter, I publish Ink Links as part of the additional content you receive for being a member. And each week, after 10 to 15 links, plus my added commentary on each, I'm left with many great items I want to share. Enter Misfill. Here are this weeks links:

I was way too #SERIOUSFACE with Monday’s review, so I had to lighten the mood with one of the products that has brought me the most joy this year. This uniball One P is one of my favorites, but I still don’t fully comprehend what uniball is doing here with the Zento cross-marketing. Regardless, this is the perfect giveaway item, and the winner is:
Congrats Eric! I’ve sent you an email to collect your shipping address.
