I remember as a child my father penning letters to my grandparents in Germany using a beautiful old fountain pen. I loved when he rolled a wooden ink blotter
over the words to remove any excess ink. For the longest time I have wanted my own fountain pen and a few weeks ago I started looking on Amazon. I ended up buying a red Lamy Safari pen
. It was affordable and it makes my handwriting look so beautiful.I also purchased the ink converter
and Noodler's Black Waterproof ink
. I love the catfish graphic on the ink bottle. Now I can fill my pen rather than have to purchase the cartridges. And I love that the fountain pen is made in Germany and the ink is made in the USA. And no wooden ink blogger necessary with this set-up.Duke and Imp love using my new fountain pen, so guess what Santa is going to put in their stocking; their own Pelikano Junior Fountain Pen
. Get your hands off my pen, boys! Bring back the art of handwriting and buy some fountain pens for gifts this year. They would make perfect stocking stuffers!
I processed the images above using the Pretty Preset's Cupcakes preset on jpgs and I used a vintage frame that was scanned in by Lori Peterson and will be posted for download on this blog this week. :-)
