A gentleman came in over the weekend eyeing our collection of rollerball and fountain pens. I showed him a few and asked if he used fountain pens. He said, "Let me show you something...". He pulls out a worn, brown, leather case with curved ridges. Off comes the top and in it is his favorite fountain pens. I commented on how cool the case was and he says it is normally used for cigars!

3/1/07 - Adendum: the owner of the above fountain pens commented on yesterday's post and described each of his pens which I would like to list here for easier reference...

Left to Right:
a Stipula Duetto (yellow), a Monteverde Riviera (blue), a Mont Blanc 146 (black)
and a Libelle Nature (mother of pearl).

Feb 15th

Allison, a freelance market editor, was wearing this knitted hat, while standing in front of Cursive's cabinet. I told her about Cursive's blog and she was so excited to hear about our blog that she shared her blog with me. Check it out: shelterrific

I like taking photos of friends, mothers & daughters, familes etc... here is Allison with her friend Ramie (pronounced like the cotton), who is an interior designer, wearing a very warm-looking jacket from the Army/Navy store.

small connections...

Mav of port2press and Stephanie of Agnes & Hoss back on Jan 26th.
Mav was in town helping Stephanie set up for the Gift Fair.
She introduced herself to me, which I am glad she did,
because I bought one of her 2007 calendars, love her cards and her blog!

Happy Valentine's Day
