I know of several card shops that might have cheap stationery or boxes that looked good but would be poor quality for writing with a fine instrument like a fountain pen.
    I have a pad of N18 Rhodia paper that I print different images onto for each letter. The paper is 8.3 X 11.7 inches, but most printers have an option for you to specify the exact size.
    It may not be your style, but I have a few of my standard images up on my blog for download if you'd like some to get you started.
    Wow! What a couple of wonderful images to liven up stationery - thanks for generously sharing your talent! I do happen to have a Rhodia pad of same dimensions, so I'll give it a try. Merci beaucoup!

    I received one from Washington state today- what fun! I also wrote an outbound one.

    I worked on tuck-ins, mostly, though.
    Write buzzed. Edit sober.

    Yes. Yes, I did.

    My Field Notes has a list of about 24. Might even do some more tonight or tomorrow.

    I also got a couple of extremely awesome InCos, one with Red Lettering, blue rose, and Stamps, and one with a wonderful sketch in Rose Tendresse!

    Valentine's Day must be in the air.
    My other pen is a Montblanc.

    And my other blog is a tumblr!


    And my latest ebook, for spooky wintery reading:

    Got 2 out yesterday and 0 in
    Sat down to write one over lunch and wouldn't you know it I ran out of ink.
    Mental note to self: take some ink to work as a back-up.

    Is the vial itself vile, or is the ink within the vial a color that you consider vile?

    Neither - just chose to spell the wrong vial incorrectly as spell check would not have caught that error.

    Thanks for the offer. It wasn't the snow that was the issue but the 1/4 to 1/2 inch of freezing rain that did everything in.

    Here are the photos I took of my incoming on 2/10:
    Attachment 9866
    (Top row are ongoing correspondences 7, Middle is new this month 9, Bottom was a bounds for bad address... not sure why yet.)

    Attachment 9868
    (Top row again ongoing 2, bottom new 5)

    Haven't made it home yet to see what there is waiting for me but did get a call that power flickers a bit but is now flowing though my house.

    I wrote two letters last night, and I wrote another today. Received a note from my mom and an InCoWriMo letter from someone new to me. Purchased two international letter stamps so I could reply to a letter I received yesterday from Oz.

    I tutored through college and seminary in work-study programs, proofread/edited a friend's book, and am working as an English teacher. After spending every day for the past several years correcting all manner of spelling & grammatical errors, I can't just switch it off!

    Now I'm really scared sending you a reply.
    I will have to write in an extra scribbly manner to take your mind off the bad grammar and appalling spelling.
