    Default Hello from Minneapolis!

    Greetings, Everyone!

    Just wanted to stop in and say hello. I've been avidly reading your posts and discussions (and admiring your beautiful collections!) for the past several months, and I finally decided to join the community. I'm relatively new to the fountain pen hobby (~one year) and am very excited to continue learning more.

    Here are the pens I have right now:

    1) Waterman Phileas in Blue Marble with a medium nib (I received this as a birthday gift years ago, and only recently rediscovered it in a storage box)
    2) Lamy Safari in Yellow with extra-fine and 1.5mm nibs
    3) Pilot Kakuno in Gray/Red with a fine nib
    4) Desiderata Flex Pen

    Looking forward to meeting you all!

    Here's a photo of the Desiderata -- I really love it!
