Today is the evolution of this blog, a name change to reflect a new direction and purpose. I love fountain pens, primarily vintage fountain pens My fingers are stain with ink of various colors. In my collection are Representatives from the golden era of fountain pens. At one time fountain pens were the main writing instruments. Companies such Parker, Sheaffer, Waterman, and other companies shared that limelight of the golden era. Fountain pens are still being made today.
There was a time when corresponding you wrote a letter or a postcard. Today an impersonal text or e-mail is sent instantly around the world. I write letters to various friends all over the world and I also send postcards globally. I hand write each one with a fountain pen, ink, and paper or a postcard. Most of the time they are written with a fountain pen that is 50+ years old. There is something special listening to a nib write across the paper. Strangely the words flow easier. I am left handed, contrary to popular thought I do use a fountain pen.
I will impart my joy of fountain pens, discuss inks, fountain pens, paper, my collection. I will share my adventures and misadventures.. I will educate on the history of writing and fountain pens. I collect the oddities of the fountain pen world Waterman fountain pens.
