TWSBI

After all the hoopla on Fountain Pen Network – I had to try one.  This is a Twsbi – Medium nib.

Writing sample with Iroshizuku ink in Fuyu-Syogun.  I have to say – all the hoopla was right on.  Love this pen and for the price I can have several in different nib sizes.  [...]

New to the Herd

I got a lovely new fountain pen for Christmas – a Visconti Homo Sapien.

Can’t wait to catch up on my correspondence this week.  I’m way too far behind on that as well as other thing.  After getting sick at Thanksgiving I never did manage to recover.

Until now.  I’m finally making a [...]

Then I also got a lovely tea cozy as a get well soon gift from Julie.

I had to sit [...]

Finally Some Sun

So after several dreary days of rain we are actually seeing the sun.

So I have been serious big by the Waterman bug and couldn’t resist this shimmery pink fine point Waterman Hemisphere.  Isn’t she lovely?  She writes so smooth.  I inked her with J. Herbin’s Violette Pensee, which is now another new favorite [...]

The Trip

So I headed out on Wednesday to Julie’s and the fun began right away.  We headed to Concord, MA where we went to the Orchard House.  This was the house where Little Women was written [...]
