Since the last "How I organize my Stationery" post, I made some changes to the cart to help me find things faster. I will break down what I have on each tier and where I purchased the extra stuff I added in case anybody else needs it.
On the top tier, I now placed all of my ink bottles, samples, and extra ink cartridges (in Kaweco tin). I try to group them by brand however there are a few single ones that are placed anywhere. The 10ml and ink samples are on this plastic tray I found at Daiso. I do cover the inks with a furoshiki I got from Baum-kuchen a while ago, so the sun doesn't get to them. I have some open space but I plan to finish more small ink bottles and samples before I buy more.
The middle tier actually stayed the same but I have obtained even more pencil cases which is why this mountain looks higher. All of my pens, custom multi-pens, markers, erasers, lead pencils and refills are all here along with my two fountain pen rolls.
The bottom tier is now all notebooks and notepads. All of these are brand new or empty and I pull these out when I use up anything. I have a few notepads for letters, Hobonichi plain notebooks, Traveler's notebooks for regular and passport size, and other papers for me to use up.
The Sentimental Circus Shappo holder is still on the side but now it has fountain pen supplies. It has three clear pockets which are pretty deep and can hold the cleaning bulb and Kaweco tins. Currently, the top section has the bulb, Ink Misers, and Q-tips; the middle has cleaned out ink vials for ink trades; the bottom has two Kaweco tins with a dip pen and all the flush and tools I use to clean out pens.
On the cart, I added two baskets that hook on the sides, one on the bottom to hold my tripod and another on the top to hold Scotch tape, white-out, adhesive, and address blocker tape.
Lastly, I added two hanging bags that I found at Daiso which I attach with a hook I also bought at Daiso. One holds my Instax printer and film refills while the other has my Kitta Tapes and corner puncher. Thanks to these I was able to organize the bottom tier after sticking everything else there for a while.
Must say that it is so nice having all your pen-related items in one place where you can see them. I finally don't have to strain myself on remembering where my supplies are. Now the biggest challenge is trying not to buy more ink when I run out of room.
I do hope that in the future if I get more room I can have shelves to hold all of this or a better desk but until then I am working with what I got. Let me know how you organize everything and until next time, stay hyped!
