Guess what color I would really like

Ashes of roses eh? sounds intriguing... you have a secret formula?

Virginia Wolfe wrote about possibly color coding envelopes of letters and she mentioned that color.

I thought it sounded wonderful.

Ok, I am more for a Fountain Pen, BUT if we do this and the majority goes for ink, then we will need something to put it into. So I was thinking of something special other than the stock ink bottle. I do not know the reputation of this site nor do I endorse it (first time there), but I came across it by accident. Let me know what you think!!!

Inkwells

Wow!

The Laban rectange inkwell looks great. THis definitely has possibilities!

yup - way cool!

And I also saw this little pen made by Platinum. I know nothing about this pen nor company, but from what the website says, its 14K solid gold fine nib




Here is the item description:

This is a BRAND NEW fountain pen made by PLATINUM called the RED ESSAY. Features a solid 14k GOLD Fine Point nib. This is a snap on cap. This comes with 1 ink cartridge and a converter located at bottom of box with papers.

I'm a satisfied customer of isellpens.com. good product, prices, and service.

I'd also vote for the rectangle inkwell...

Thats good, I am glad to hear that someone has dealt with them before!!

I have dealt with ISellPens many, many times....Great prices and fast shipping....One little quibble though (and I really should let them know next time I order from them) is that they have always sent unboxed fountain pens, rollerballs and ballpoints in a black velvet "sleeve" with no extra padding/bubble wrap/PVC tube. Just the pen in its sleeve in a padded envelope. I haven't had anything break on me yet, but I worry about it happening....

Other than that, A-1 service!

As for the potential FPN pen, I'd rather not pay $50 or more for one (I voted for a pen <$30)....The Laban inkwell looks very nice, though

Sounds like we're focusing in on a nice set of things.

Re: colours....I am really not fussy....I would agree to any of the colours in the Poll, except for Yellow (they're generally not dark enough for my liking).
I had to pick one, so I clicked on "Brown" because I don't have any brown inks in my "stable" yet
