Paper Choices

[KrazyIvan]

No problems with direct links here that I know of.

[caribbean_skye]

All the hub-bub on FPN's marketplace plus this paper topic got me to finally open an Etsy store and list some of my onionskin paper. YOU could be my first customer: http://www.etsy.com/shop/JBBPensPaper?ref=si_shop

If it's not okay to have this link here let me know and I'll delete it.

Thanks! I'll add you to my etsy "favourites" but upon a quick glance I can see I'm going to be in big trouble soon, happily.

Just listed--it's in notepad form, with an elegant paper cover, in B5 size. $11.99 plus shipping (from California to you).

Thanks for the heads up. It didn't list it anywhere, but would you mine telling me how many sheets you got? just curious. Thanks. Now I can't complain that I have no paper choices anymore.

Thanks much, KI, and also I didn't mean to break into the onionskins discussion. Earlier upthread people were looking for a source for Tomoe River and all of a sudden, we have one, so wanted to share the info while it was fresh.

Happy to tell you--my guess is at least 100--when I get back later tonight I'll check for you. This tablet is so gonna be my tablet for international correspionage! So lightweight, yet durable. I see why people are crazy about it. And it comes with a graph paper guide sheet you can use if you want. Fun.

THANK YOU THANK YOU Carole!!! I am so happy, just ordered 3 tablets, that should hold me for awhile. :-)

Mine arrived in perfect condition, which is a big deal when handling this 'delicate but strong' paper. I found it to be really as wonderful as everybody says. And flex-nib-compatible.

Not sure if it's ok to include a direct link? But here it is: http://www.nanamipaper.com/products/...otepad-b5.html

Links are fine... And that site is AWESOME !!!

Holy smokes I need to place a large order... WOW ...

Thank you for sharing it.

Hey,,,...

Anyone know from the http://www.nanamipaper.com site what size envelopes go with the A5 size paper?

Thanks !!!

[cedargirl]

C6 is what you need if you fold the A5 in half. But I'm not sure what they have available on the nanamipaper site.

Here is an envelope sizing link: http://www.edsebooks.com/paper/env.html

This is BIG. Thanks so much for discovering this. My first order is in.

[KrazyIvan]

When ordering, just select the add envelopes check box and they include the right size. It should be noted that for the Life Co. envelopes, they do not have adhesive. I had to tape my last letter shut because I did not realize this beforehand. Otherwise, they are excellent and take FP ink very nicely!

TracyLee, earthdawn, writingrav, You are most welcome and happy this was good info. Caribbean_skye, it is 100 pages, you're right it wasn't on the site but I think they're adding it in. KI--I didn't know that, -maybe they'll want to add it in the description? The owner is really responsive, so maybe he'd like to hear? Envelopes that take ink well are always a good find, so that's kind of a sticking point. (sorry! sorry. couldn't help it.)

I noticed. He replied to my inquiry on a shipping cancellation email I recieved very quickly (he had printer troubles).

Sticking point. Ha!

I've got FP friendly envelopes for sale in the FPN Classifieds from which I am currently banned. HA! Now that's a twist on an already ironic situation....

banned? why would you be banned? I pointedly made comment that there were folks with modest offerings that benefit the pen community, who would be left out with the new requirements (fees), and I was not banned for urging these people be considered. I did word this as a suggestion, not a demand. I ditto'ed your suggestion about having another tier (20. and under I think it was?), but your suggestion didn't appear inflammatory either.. I posted today so I'm not banned.
Sure hope this sorts out, positively for all, and soon.
(need an emoticon with a discouraged, and surprised dropped jaw)...

A group of us were banned from one post concerning the new policies. There's some of the story is here:

beg pardon for interrupting the paper choice thread - simple shock at this news...
I had read the beginning of the linked thread, which also read as polite. I didn't read the final posts of the thread that was pulled, and which I had posted inquiry in, but again it all appeared to be polite inquiry as to how those who provided small items would be able to continue to provide these to the community. Tame, innocent stuff. I hope it all resolves positively after some time. Perhaps this was a result of many changes at once, and/or with final wording of the description not well considered??? From what I read to be timed-out/banned without discussion seems highly unusual, and possibly an error.

Just put my order in

What a great little online paper store!

[Sailor Kenshin]

Seeing familiar names here, and dittos to all.

Still experimenting with different and sundry papers in my collection: a Hogwarts-looking Strathmore parchment that will probably look good with black or sepia ink. IF it likes fountain pens at all.

Hello dear woosang,

Sorry for the confusion, I'm actually not the seller, it's a nice person named Dave, and if you'd like to contact him (info on the Nanami website), I'm sure he would talk with you about posting to Australia.
btw, I've been admiring your handwriting, pens and inks--and hope you enjoy the Tomoe River!

earthdawn, so happy you like it!
