    Default Hi Y'all - sounding off from Oklahoma

    I live on a small 10 acre farm in the Green Country raising dairy goats, a couple of cows, and various other critters. I recently (Oct 2019) began collecting fountain pens and I think I need to join a "Pen collectors anonymous" group lol.
    My favorite vintage pens are Waterman
    Modern pens vary from Jinhao to Conklin.
    I am currently in a love/hate relationship with the Omniflex nib.
    I grew up learning to write with my handy Sheaffer and began practicing lettering about 12. I am an artist of the old arts - herbs, spinning, weaving, felting, brewing, and such.

    Welcome MWhite! Yep, we all are slightly 'enthusiastic' about our collections!
    I use a fountain pen and a paper planner - paperinkplan.wordpress.com

    Hi Anne, not currently. I tend to jump into arts and hobbies with both feet lol. My supplies and devices grew to the point that we had to move a pre-fab building here to become my craft cottage. And I still have enough supplies in the house that it fills a bedroom. I'm afraid it I took up pottery, I would need a new house to hold it all! A great deal of my felting is like sculpting with fiber so theready might be some cross-over skills I could use...DON'T get me thinking! Lol
    Most of the "treasures" I have amassed have been gifted or found at an excellent discount (I have a black belt in discount shopping and repurposing junk)

    Welcome! I do photos by starting my reply or new post, then clicking on the icon that looks like a framed picture of a tree in the toolbar above the dialog box. A pop up will open and you post the link to your photo there. I store my photos on the imgur site which allows me to generate a link to put in the pop up.

    There are others here who can chime in with different methods, I’m sure!
