I will likely post once a week at most through the end of February. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think my wish list this year is the smallest it has ever been. But, before I jump in, I will acknowledge that I didn&#8217;t, technically, cross anything off of <a href=\"\/blog\/wish-list-jan-24\/\">last year&#8217;s list<\/a>. I received the three pens I&#8217;d commissioned at the beginning of the year: the <a href=\"\/blog\/pen-porn-cmp-3d-scrollwork\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"12883\">3D scrollwork sleeve<\/a>, the Eowyn, and the <a href=\"\/blog\/pen-porn-ardently\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"11458\">Pride and Prejudice<\/a> pen. And I commissioned, but haven&#8217;t yet received, the Tailored Pen Co. Trekker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s look at my current wish list. Once again, I&#8217;m dividing this list into two sections: Commissioned and Want. Per usual, the lists are in alphabetical order by brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Commissioned<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stanford Pen Studio<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I have another commission in the works from SPS, this time from Lana le Roux. I&#8217;m definitely looking forward to seeing it, whenever that may be, given that she&#8217;s so busy. I also got two of the Intwana pens as part of their crowdfunder, which should make it to me by April.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanfordpenstudio.com\/\">Website<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/stanfordpenstudio\/\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tailored Pen Co<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I have a commission on Tailored Pen Co&#8217;s list for one of their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C0Dk_5yN10F\/\">Trekker model<\/a> pens in their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CvuqhTQgIns\/\">Bee\u2019s Knees<\/a> material.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/tailoredpencompany.com\/\">Website<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tailoredpencompany\/\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Want<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since I have no idea when the two commissions will be ready, I won&#8217;t make myself wait until I have them to purchase any other pens. However, as I said in my <a href=\"\/blog\/2024-purchasing-habits\/\">purchasing habits post<\/a>, I&#8217;m going to do my best to wait until I have the money saved up for a pen before buying it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cypress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m still interested in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CU_TDu1LV61\/\">Maple in the Forest<\/a>. However, when I looked buying it last year, the model was no longer listed on Cypress&#8217; website. I&#8217;m going to try reaching out to them once I have the money available to see if I can order it as a commission. I honestly don&#8217;t even know if they&#8217;re accepting commissions now that they&#8217;ve grown so much.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/mrcypress.com.tw\/en\/\">Website<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/cypress.tw\/\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drewnem Pisane<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yep, still on this list. I WILL get one of their pens this year. I <em>will<\/em>. Really.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/drewnempisane.pl\/en_US\/index\">Website<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/drewnem_pisane\/\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stanford Pen Studio<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once my commission from Lana le Roux is complete, I&#8217;d like to commission something from Zelna le Roux, if she&#8217;s accepting commissions. And, I&#8217;d still like one of Di&#8217;s pens if she can ever find time to make another.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanfordpenstudio.com\/\">Website<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/stanfordpenstudio\/\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>So&#8230; yeah&#8230; that&#8217;s everything I&#8217;m actively looking to acquire this year. We&#8217;ll see if I can get them all crossed off my list. That would be nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Are any of these pens on your wish list?
