    Default New Use for a Fountain Pen

    This sort of makes me want to cry.

    Kind of a steep price she or he wants, too.

    The pen could already have been a non-working wreck (ie: nibless, no sac) when the hookermaker got it, and she did not know how to restore it as a fountain oen.
    My other pen is a Montblanc.

    And my other blog is a tumblr!

    I can't decide whether or not to feel angry or sad for the pen or hookmaker.
