    3 bottles of DA document ink from the Anderson's. I can use water colors with this ink when I draw. Plus mixing is fun.

    Otherwise I spent the whole day talking. Chatty Cathy.

    Ooh. I stared at that red/pink acrylic for an hour in Baltimore, in a #20, and let it go. Regrets. Glad you had a nice time and good haul.

    This will appear upside-down. I just know it.

    Not seen: some parts, including the Sheaffer Cap That Fit.

    An interesting side note, at the show - Fountain Pen Hospital booth was selling MB golden yellow. I was told its selling like hot cakes with people buying multiples. One person bought 15 bottles. So if you want it buy it.....or buy it and put it away for future selling on eBay...$$$$$.

    I have a question about some odd, pink paper (more like card stock, it was that thick) at the ink-testing table. It has a lilac grid ruling, and took ink really, really well.

    What is it?

    And those are SO not 'my' colors. Yet I'm intrigued! If anyone can tell me, a big thanks.

    I didn't take a picture of it, alas, and I already wrote to someone on the back of it!

    Did anyone else at the show happen to use this pink card stock with the lilac grid? Did you find out what it is?

    I didn't see the cards but if they were index card like (3x5, 4x6, 5x8) they were probably Exacompta index cards. They do work really well with FP inks.

    Exaclaire was supposed have samples on the ink testing tables.
