Also can anyone recommend a good pen holder???
Thanks so much!
Yes, I can recommend you a good pen holder--a home made one :-) It's made from an empty mango jam jar. The lip of the jar and the bottom are lined with saffron coloured felt to protect the pens from bashing into the glass. And while I'm at it, may I introduce you to my home made pen wrap made from burgundy felt and hand stitched.

Like it?
In the back of the jam jar is the poor neglected Pelikano Jr. which on many occasions I thought of throwing away--I hate the nib. Then I realised its broad nib could be used to write large notices and I can use it to test sample inks. Just ordered the 4 sample ink from Pear Tree!
