The Archivist's Foiled Pen Keeper

A journal is only useful if the pen has not wandered off, a truth Palus Bonicin has learned more than once during forays back from Earth when a particularly good pen has somehow gotten lost in portal transit.

The Archivist’s Foiled Pen Keeper is a simple, handsome little accessory for anyone who keeps a journal, sketchbook, field notebook, reading log, planner, or travel book close at hand. The elastic band slips around standard-sized journals and books, keeping a pen secured right where it belongs: with the page waiting for it.

Each pen holder is hand-foiled by the in-house artist at A House of Books, with floral designs that vary from piece to piece. No two are exactly alike, giving each one the quiet charm of a handmade desk tool rather than a mass-produced office supply. A beautiful gold pen is included, making it ready to pair with a journal, gift with a notebook, or tuck into an Archivist’s Nook bundle.

Choose from black, brown, ivory, light blue, gray, or navy blue. Because each piece is hand-finished, foil design and placement will vary.

These pen holders come from A House of Books, a woman-owned, handmade, eco-friendly bookish shop based in Grandville, Michigan. Their work is rooted in a love of books and a commitment to salvaging and honoring bookish materials whenever possible. Through handmade journals, ephemera, page packs, book-related gifts, and readerly tools, A House of Books gives old stories and useful objects a second life.

For the journal that goes everywhere. For the notes written before they disappear. For the pen that should never again vanish to the bottom of the bag.
