Peter Laywine at his front counter

Two of my favourite things are found in this store – fountain pens and paper organizers! Even those of us who have gone digital can be enraptured by a beautiful paper planner. I can’t count the number of fountain pens I’ve come across organizing clients’ offices. Always loved, they are usually no longer used because they’ve dried up or don’t work well anymore. I take the pens to Laywine’s for a new lease on life. After the repair, the store sends home well-written maintenance instructions to keep them working. Writing with a fountain pen is one of life’s small pleasures I indulge in everyday! – Christie
