We are so happy and proud to see all of our team's special projects come to fruition over the course of the last few weeks!  From Jane's postcard/pencil board to Ashley's Note Writing Pad to Christine's bookmark, each one is unique to the person who created it. If you've been to the store and met/spoken to Jane, Ashley and Christine, you'll also be able to see a little bit of each of them in what they made for Yoseka.And for anyone who's interested in obtaining one of these items, Jane's postcard is available in-store right next to our Traveler's Partner...

Hello everyone! Can't believe how quickly time is whizzing by and it is already May! It feels as if in no time at all, Jacob will be turning 1 and Yoseka's big release will be here, but before that we have lots of work to do and there are some changes coming to Yoseka as well.This past month, we have been taking advantage of our full house days here at Yoseka when our whole team is here. Looking back, those are always some of the best days because we accomplish a whole lot as a team working together and have...

So happy to be able to share Christine’s Special Project with everyone! It’s been especially fun seeing this bookmark evolve and take shape over the last few months. What started off as Christine’s idea to make something she could use in her own planner became this charming little bookmark we’d love to share with you all. You know Yoseka loves gold, which pairs so well with our beloved antiques and the soft worn-in leather on our Traveler’s Notebooks.We’ll be including Christine’s bookmarks in all gold nib fountain pen orders starting today. We hope you’ll be able to enjoy using them...

In our recent blog post, An Introduction to TWSBI Pens and our YouTube video all about TWSBI, we talked about some of the different models of TWSBI fountain pens and gave a brief overview on TWSBI and their history making fountain pens. In this blog post, we'll be taking a closer look at the actual different nibs available on TWSBI fountain pens, comparing how they write and how their nib sizes differ. If you have decided on a TWSBI model and are trying to choose between different nib sizes, this article may help you decide which nib size is the right...

Christine’s special project is unveiled and Christine shares her story of what gave her the idea to design her bookmark! Join us as we catch up on last week’s events, take a look at our favorite newly added stationery and discuss our picks for Customer Friends of the Week. Hope you enjoy this video!!

Hello! Christine here today to talk about fountain pen ink. If you've ever been to our shop in person, you'll know about the ink bar. It's an L-shaped counter at the back of our shop where we usually ring up customers, but it's also home to our ink sample making station and right next to our wall of inks. Customers can come here to swatch different inks and see what they look like in person. It's one of my favorite places to hang out -- I love chatting about color and inks with people. Those who've been to the shop looking...

Join me and Ashley for this fun-filled episode of Catching Up! If we look like raccoons, it's because we're a little tired from a long week of fulfilling Traveler's Notebook orders (thank you thank you!!!) but we managed to entertain ourselves with a little game involving one of our favorite newly added stationery products from last week. Be sure to watch to find out what's making our brains hurt in the thumbnail 😂

Ashley's special project is revealed in this week's Catching Up! Hear from Ashley what inspired her to create her memo pad and why it has so many pages! This week at Yoseka, we were busy making a new TWSBI Nib and Line Comparison video which took a toll on all of us 😂 Catch some behind the scenes stories as Ashley and I chat about the week. Thanks for watching, everyone!    

 We are so excited to share with everyone this Note Writing Pad that Ashley has been working hard on designing all year! As many of you already know, this year, each member of our team has thought of a special project they would like to create with Yoseka. Earlier this year, Ashley said she would love to design a memo pad inspired by the handwritten notes we include in all of our orders. Since we write so many notes everyday, we often find ourselves flying through memo pads, so we packed this one with a full 150 sheets in three...

TWSBI fountain pens are one of our favorite fountain pens and many people don't know this about Yoseka, but they are actually the very first fountain pens we added. Back in 2017, when Neil and I were just getting started doing pop-ups, Yoseka was a very different shop! The store pretty much existed out of our car and the wooden crates that we would load up with stationery each week and haul to whichever location where we were popping up. For the first six months, Yoseka was a different experience each time you visited us because we were experimenting and...
