My wife gets her fancy ink from Dromgoogle's in Rice Village.  Does anyone know of any similar stores in Houston?  Or even southeast Texas/Louisiana?

For specifically Japanese products, you can try Kinokuniya in Katy Asia Town.

Tried that, and it wasn't good at all.   Very disappointing.  I was hoping for something like Itoya, but it was really for wannabe teenage Japanophiles and manga enthusiasts who have never been, and likely never will be, in Japan.  

It takes forever to get stuff delivered from Itoya, but it's worth the wait.

Does anyone else have fine stationary and office supplies?

I have a box of cotton paper, and also fine writing paper that I use sometimes.  I even have my own wax stamp that I use to seal envelopes with.

This weekend I tried to restore some vintage scissors made in Italy.  I soaked them in vinegar for 24-hours.  The rust came off, but now the blades have a patina on them.  I guess a patina is better than rust!

Don't cheap out on a good pair of scissors! I recently bought Tojiro Kitchen Shears and fell in love.  Worth the money!
