Spooky "Gorjuss" Collectibles

When I went into the shop to buy the pen with the feather for my diary I was actually first drawn to another thing (which made me rant a little because I didn't know about its existance before): a whole section of the shop with shelves full of Santoro's Gorjuss products!

Of course, I was like "woah! I want EVERYTHING!!" It was such a cute collection of all things possible to bags, wallets, teapots to diaries, cups, boxes, pens, cards and more! And the character is a cute little girl with a spooky dark look:

"Gorjuss is a character designed by Suzanne Walcott, illustrator of Glasgow, a trademark of Santoro, famous throughout the world. The image of Gorjuss, a tender child, traits very similar to the same Suzanne, seeks to capture the emotions and environments typical of childhood."

I also found out there another collection always licensed by Santoro London called Mirabelle which is very beautiful and sophisticated and...yeah I want this too! :P 

Take a look at their website to find out more and where to buy this all:

..And the diary found it's pen !

After months of searching I finally found the fountain pen I needed to complete my E.A. Poe inspired diary which I bought some time ago (see previous post about it --> click here) and tah-dah! Here it is:

Lovely, isn't it? At first I thought a fountain pen with a black raven feather would fit more as it's a Poe inspired diary but as my eyes fell on this pen at I couldn't help but take it home. The peacock feathers are real and the colors are really vivid especially that marvellous blues. Also the other pen with the black feather wasn't as decorated as this one and looked too modern. This one was more special :)

I spent 35 euro for it but it's definitely worth it. 

In the package there's also the ink bottle and a leaflet with some instructions on how to write correctly with the pen. 

Thank God when I was younger at elementary school they taught us a little bit how to write with fountain pens so I got a little advantage in this!

Also, my boyfriend has already planned to build me a fountain pen and ink holder and an oil lamp to have a complete set and hopefully by Christmas I will have it! YAY! :)
