My dog had some hefty vet bills this month, so I'm doing a special set at a special price in my shop to try and drum up some money to pay the vet bill off. I'll also be listing more new sets today and tomorrow.
ANY stationery purchases will help. :)


check out the new set here (https://www.etsy.com/listing/273514072/a-girl-and-her-faithful-companion), and read the story on my blog here (http://kindwordsstationery.blogspot.ca/2016/03/vet-bill-fundraising.html).

Will any of your 82 designs help you? I'm guessing just want to make sure I'm buying the right stuff!

Ha! As a dog owner whose dog farted on her this morning during breakfast, I so feel that design.

I once got a comment from someone telling me the "I farted" dog design and the "I barfed" cat design were vulgar and made them not want to frequent my shop. A few pet owners stepped in and ultimately it turned out that the person who thought it was vulgar didn't have and had never had pets. I don't blame them for finding it vulgar, in that case, but I like to think that fellow pet owners "get it". :)

I remember that. On that *other* forum.

Good luck with your sale. I wish you the best. I always remember you b/c of our shared love of triumph nib Sheaffers. Having a factory stub vac-fil triumph desk pen restored as we speak.

good stuff.

Saskia's stationery is very good quality. I have ordered from her site numerous times, and everything is very nicely packaged. You can expect great communication from her, too.

I have the cat version ("I barfed"), and it's precious. :)

I hope your pup is doing well and I understand the vet bills. In the middle of last year my 11 your old pup finally lost her battle vs leukemia and the vet bills were high. I'll keep your pup in my thoughts.

Base is not mine, the person doing the restoration also has a brown striated desk pen apparently.
This pen has been sitting in a shoebox for a while. Finally getting around to getting it restored. I don't actually know if it is a stub, italic, signature stub or what but that nib is a beast.

Not yet, but I should be finished the set by Tuesday (Monday is a stat holiday for my office), so look for a listing Tuesday night in my etsy shop. I'll post back here when it's ready to go. :)
