Flax Pen to Paper

The Spring Pen Sale ends this Saturday! There’s still time to pickup that perfect gift for that special someone...or yourself! Remember, Mother’s Day is just around the corner on May 9th!

Tired of feeling like the pandemic clipped your wings? Vaccines are here so what better time for a pen fling? Flax's semi-annual pen sale is back for spring, in advance of graduation, return to work, Mother's Day, Father's Day or whatever occasion(s) you have to enjoy some bling. No occasion? We think "20% off most pens" has a nice ring. Flax is full of color and pens not here before including the Namiki Emperor, Sailor 2021 Pen Of The Year and the new Terra and Savannah Lamy... Safaris. Limited editions are on order and we've stocked so many items that you might think we restored order - and that's before your eyes take a drink of many new colors of Sailor Manyo ink. Even if you're not looking for pen (or ink), we think you'll love the new "on-the-go" items from Bellroy, including their Tokyo Tote, City Pouch and Sling. They come from Australia, are backed by a 3 year warranty and featured in the front right-side of the store. There are also lots of new and handcrafted cards, imported paper products, gift items and artisan works, so come take a tour! Social distancing and masks are required but won't it be nice to see us at Flax and feel free? You might even see our mascot, Wesley! #pensale #dountainpenaddict #fountainpens #fountainpenart #fountainpennetwork #rollerball #ballpen #pencilart #pencil #fountainpenaofinstagram #writersofinstagram #writerscommunity #writersofig #writemoreletters #spring #shoplocal #shopsmall #shopsmallbusiness @westwoodvillage #westwood #westwoodvillage #losangeles #socal #socalliving #socallife #losangeles

As February comes to a close and March begins, our featured company changes. You can still save 20% off most Sailor pens this Satuday and see the special and limited-edition pieces we had the pleasure of sharing with our customers. For March, we will feature writing instruments from Pilot; most Pilot pens will be on sale. With a heritage extending over 100 years, Pilot is one of the oldest fine writing instrument makers in the world. Pilot's fine writing collection embodies t...he essence of art, design and craftsmanship. In 1963, Pilot introduced a fountain pen unlike any other, featuring a fully retractable nib. Called the Capless, it was reintroduced as the Vanishing Point in 1972. Pilot's traditional elegance combines with innovative design to deliver an unsurpassed writing experience. #pilot #pilotpen #pilotpens #fountainpen #fountainpenaddict #fountainpengeeks #fountainpennetwork #pensale #custom912 @pilot_corporation #shoplocal #shopsmall #shopsmallbusiness @westwoodvillage #westwoodvillage #losangeles #socal #socalliving

We’re so excited to partner with @antaeustheatre on their Zip Code Plays Tours. Each tour, available in-person or virtually, will take you through the setting of one of The Zip Code Plays, a new series of six audio plays celebrating the culture and history of Los Angeles. The plays are available for free on the Antaeus website and wherever you listen to podcasts!

The fortune in the lunch meal today read: The hard times will begin to fade. Joy will take their place. So someone tell Joy to get down here and buy some of the wonderful things we have in store, please. She might also want to know that our special and limited edition items from Sailor will only be here one more week. Most regular Sailor items are 20% off for another week, too.

Is It Your Date To Get Organized? The pandemic has taken a toll - apart from the loss of friends and relatives, almost a year of being shut-in, eating constantly, binge-watching television, and otherwise forsaking what would be my ordinary routine left me feeling and looking like a mess. I put on more than the "Pandemic 19" pounds others have so I've started making changes. I'm cutting back on trips through the kitchen, resuming walking (I used to walk 4-8 miles every other ...day) and making some visits to the gym (albeit what is really some old machines under a tent outdoors). I have a long way to go, but those small changes are already helping me feel better. I also started my (new) assistant with a daily planner and could see the difference almost immediately. He can now record the "pearls of wisdom" I provide or at least keep track of tasks, messages and calls in a single place. I am always jotting notes on my calendar app, but haven't been using my tried-and-true Filofax or one of the Graphic Image planners we have - and I have no excuse - so it's my turn to put in the 2021 refill and get myself organized, too. There's something comforting about having things written on paper - and the ease with which those notes travel with you. There are so many organizers, though, that it can make it hard to choose. At Flax, we have plenty of Filofax and a modest amount of stock left from Graphic Image (I like the Graphic Image Datebooks), Letts, Quo Vadis, Moleskin and Paperblanks -- but we won't be restocking dated material - so if you want to join me in feeling a little more organized and better about yourself - or doing the same for someone else, now's the time. Treat yourself, feel better about yourself, and put the pandemic procrastination in the past. See more

Flax Pen to Paper is proud to offer the Naginata Togi Special Nibs from the Sailor Pen Company. It is said that with a treasured fountain pen, the writer assumes an air of accomplishment as they practice the art of fine handwriting. As one writes, one expresses his innermost thoughts and passions to the world. A pen in the hand becomes an extension of the body and soul. Writing with a fountain pen is a romantic link to our past culture that allows a personal expression that ...cannot be emulated by today’s sterile forms of communication. Rising above the times a fountain pen will stay, and forever remain, the purest means of self-expression. To that end, Sailor was fortunate to enjoy the innovative skills of master nib designer Nobuyoshi Nagahara, and prowess of his son Yukio Nagahara. For decades they passionately became one with their craft and today Mr. Yukio Nagahara personally oversees and directs the design process of Sailor’s unique nibs, based on the legacy that his father graciously established with an exclusive series of very unique styles of nibs and pens, which Sailor proudly offers as part of its special nib range. These pens, just like the man that crafted them, are truly unique in design, character and personality. Fine pen nibs can only be produced by professionally skilled craftsman who painstakingly produce them one by one First, gold and other precious metals are melted and rolled into a plate. It is then crafted into shape and iridium-tipping material is carefully applied to the pen nib. The tipping material applied begins to determine the nib width. Refinement and polishing is then needed to prepare it for the next step At this stage the perfect ink flow and nib elasticity is determined. With careful precision, the nib is severed along an exact vertical line. This process insures correct air flow and flexibility unique to each Sailor nib. Finally, the top of the nib and the writing surface are meticulously polished and tuned to ensure the smoothest writing experience possible. Now, the nib is truly born into a life of its own; conceived, crafted, refined and presented to you to complete its journey - The Sailor Pen Company The Specialty Nibs are offered in Medium-Fine, Medium and Broad. For more information , please feel free to reach out pop in the store.
