In case you've not heard, there will soon be one more reason to buy a fountain pen: to celebrate Fountain Pen Day!

Fountain Pen Day will be celebrated on the First Friday in November. Hooray!
The...

Yeah for you not going anywhere!

And kudos to you for deciding to watch your purchases. I think some people collect pens just to collect pens, and that's OK if you have the money and intend to...

Will, did you get a pen at the DC pen show?
I've been AWOL from this sit for a couple weeks and just now found my way back. I glanced through a few threads but didn't see an announcement.

I think I saw that pen on eBay a few days ago ... or one just like it.
Much too pretty to be called "snake skin" ... even the name gives me the heebie-jeebies!

Oooh.... beautiful pens, Maja!
I don't have a "best snag" yet, unless you count the $28 (inc shipping) pink Lamy Safari I got on eBay last month. But I'm just getting started. I'm watching eBay...

Oooh, how fun! Not only did he he say your name about 10 times he wrote it a couple times, too.

BTW ... I think it was REALLY cool of him to give you that wonderful note with his autograph. And I...

I've been AWOL for awhile. Out of state visitors and other stuff.
I'm a bit late popping in on this thread, but wanted to say thank you!
It looks exactly like what I want. Especially the price.

Very nice, Ivan!
BTW ... You totally underestimate your penmanship!

Ah...I thought that when you got your orange pen, it completed the set.

Mine Lamy Safari "collection" has recently grown. In addition to my green apple fine point, I've added a 1.5 pink and medium...

I think I read something about that ink causing a gunky build-up on nibs. I could be wrong, though. Give me a bit to see if I can find the post before you start hating the ink you love.

I got a...

I'm going to attend my first ever Pen Club meeting on Saturday! woo-hoo!!
And this time it will be held at a pen shop. It'll be fun to see fountain pens in person, other than the few I own.

Hi and welcome! Your name sounds familiar. You must be an FPN member, too.

Nice!
If we ever get together for a group purchase, Turquoise would be my #1 Akkerman choice, too.
I also like Hopjesbruin. A nice brown!

I'm sorry, but I have to tell you that this had me laughing until my stomach hurt!

I think it was very smart of you to try out your first grind on a poor nib, instead of trying to make a stub from...

Hopefully that's the one I'll be attending. From what I've read, it's Presidents Weekend.
I'm close enough that I could drive there, spend the day, and drive home. But I don't want to go if I don't...

What kind of Lamy?
And why an older model?
You can get a Lamy Safari, a wonderful workhorse of a fountain pen, for $30 including the cartridge converter from isellpens.com
And it will come all...

Fabulous!
I did a quick look at the page and on his Facebook page but didn't see any prices.
I did not hunt long as I won't be buying one but I'm curious. If anyone stumbles on a price range I'd...

I have a bottle of Noodler's (BP) Black. It's a very nice basic black.
Eventually, I'd like to add a bottle of Blue, Purple, Green, Pink, Red/Burgundy and Brown to my stash.
Right now, I'm...

This reminds me ... it's time to start clearing the files off my desktop.
Just like the top of my real desk, my computer desktop tends to get completely cluttered before I swoop in and clean it all...

Had yours that long, huh?

I have been enjoying my Lamy Safari 1.5 nib with Noodler's Golden Brown. I bought a sample and like it so much that I may purchase a bottle.

I need your wife's email address. I want to tell her to wait until AFTER you've purchased the writer's series. That way, when she does file for divorce she can leave with half the collection. :-)

I had a problem with it late Thursday night/early Friday morning when I tried to sign up. When I checked on "status" (not sure where I saw that) it said that Disqus was down for maintenance. Then...

I've found Solferino to be a bright magenta. I don't have a bottle. I've only used the sample size. It's more purplish than J. Herbin Rose Cylamen, which is a kind of hot pink. But Solferino is...
