Hello from Ontario, Canada!

[kataish]

Hello FPGeeks!

I'm not sure how many of you will know me from Instagram (same name, overuser of the #fountainpen hash tag), but Aleks convinced me to pop over here (and by convinced, I mean enabled me to buy stuff from the for sale forums, of course). Just wanted to say hi. I'm 32 and have been using fountain pens for 10+ years but only started my serious collecting/buying habit within the last year or so. Mostly with my pens I write letters and create artwork (and other daily use things, of course. Lists! I love lists!)

Just wanted to poke my head in and say hi/introduce myself.

Welcome from Ajax Ontario. I think I have liked a few IG posts and then some you have shared.

I should have also said lucky you with Phidon pens so close to you.

I've actually never been there, I only learned of its existence about a month ago. Without a vehicle, its not an easy place to get to. HOWEVER... I want to get there as soon as possible!

I'm almost CONSTANTLY writing letters, haha. I somehow kept up after InCoWriMo. I picked up at least half a dozen new penpals through Instagram, haha.

Hopefully you will find a way to visit soon. I don't know anyone in the London Pen Club but I think they make the 20 min drive to Cambridge every so often to meet and visit Phidon Pens. It is a small store but that said I still spent hours in there checking out the pens, paper and leather products.

Greetings and welcome from some other place in Ontario.

I DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS SUCH A THING :O I wish I would have seen this before TODAY (since its Saturday NOW). I am now looking at the bus schedule to see what I can do for next week, and trying to think of creative ways to package up my pens and inks to get there next week. I did see there was someone else from London (you) on the map, but had not seen any posts so I wasn't sure if you were active or not. Thank you for responding :) I'm now following the blog, and will see if I can make it out sometime soon!

I'm @kataish over there as well (pretty much everywhere online). Let me know once you add me, and I'll follow you back (though I almost always follow people back if I see fountain pens on their feed pictures, haha)
