So, there's a Japanese brand Penco and they make a lot of wonderful stuff. I carry a lot of their stuff in my store. And one of the things I bought recently from them is this um like a pen a pen cup like a pencil cup and it's ceramic, but it looks like a paper bag, like kind of a lightly crumpled paper bag. And then it just has like printed on it like Penco whatever. And I just really like it when objects like when you uh take an existing object and give it a new form and I find that to be like very delightful.

Every entry is a verbatim quote and a link to the public post it came from. Nothing is paraphrased. If it is not on record somewhere public, it is not here.

The verdict is what they actually said: loved and liked are explicit; recommended means they told others to get it; uses means they only say they use it; read is a book on their public shelf with no verdict; mixed and disliked are kept too.

A dashed affiliate link, sponsored or their own label means the post disclosed a relationship. It is shown, never hidden.

The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is for its kind of thing.

The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is, for its kind of thing. Fully green is recent. It drains a quarter at a time as the post gets older, and is empty once it reads as dated.

What counts as old depends on the thing. A laptop praised four years ago has been replaced twice; a book loved twenty years ago is probably still loved. The shading is gone after about:

Stripes mean the post carries no date and the date shown is an estimate. No date at all, no shading.
