To go along with my new MB 146, MB Maroon in the old rounded shoe bottle and MB Victor Hugo sepia (light brown) in the small square bottle.  Both are eBay finds.

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

I was pleased to see that monthblanc.com had Elvis Blue available, so I placed an order:

  • Elvis Blue
  • Petit Prince Burgundy
  • Manganese Orange

 

I also ordered a bottle of Irish Green from Fahrney's because MB didn't have it available.

 

Now my Montblanc basic colors collection is just about rounded out. (I already have Mystery Black, Midnight Blue, Royal Blue, Modena Red, and Toffee Brown.)

 

I could add a purple. Plus teal and/or turquoise-leaning blues.

Well I wasn't waiting for any, but after a little moment of weakness this afternoon, I seem to now be waiting for quite a few, including some I've been wanting to get for a while and finally managed to find in Europe rather than having to go through the pain of USPS shipping. 

 

And despite having said I wouldn't I even caved in and ordered the Edelstein Golden Beryl because I needed to get one of the orders up past a shipping threshold.

Perfectly sound justification!

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

Waiting on whole lotta ink

 

With this weather, covid or whatever, though,  I would be lucky to get the bottles  just empty and hopefully not broken.

 

Amazon could not even  deliver a book yesterday and the power was gone for couple of hours.

I haven't been buying ink because I have too much for me to ever use, but I sent away for three samples of shimmer ink, my first ever. Diamine Blue Pearl, Diamine Enchanted Ocean, and J. Herbin Emerald of Chivor. Plus a broad nib for the Lamy Vista that I was going to sell, to test them out in. I guess I thought I would try to see what all the excitement is about.

You are not alone :)

 

I was  going "you need coolin' , baby I am not foolin'"  all of Friday.  We have a horrible heat wave where I live in the East bay area.

 

When it came to  describing my ink order from CultPens,  it was natural to go  "whole lotta ink":)

 

BTW, before I got into this FPN thing, I have  always been a coffee freak.   For coffee freaks,  a shop similar  to  CultPens in the Espresso machine space, is a place called "Whole Latte Love"

 

Small world indeed  :lticaptd:

I'll be interested to hear what you think. Back when I first discovered samples, I got some Emeraud de Chivor (it was around Christmas time) and a couple of other shimmer inks, and they just didn't do anything for me. I don't really need my writing to be highly decorative, I think.

As I will be, soon's i can get an order together.  I didn't even know Noodler (or anyone, for that matter) had such a hue until yesterday, when I saw it as a 'suggestion' based on another I was checking out, and tho I use very little Red & already have a couple, it's already awaiting me in my shopping cart.  I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to get something commemorative of one of my greatest personal heroes, remembering all those years ago when he stood down that tank column as I sat there riveted to my tv set, in complete awe of his bravery! 

I got 99 problems but a BIC ain't one!

I made an order a few days ago with Pure Pens (UK), who have a very good selcetion & price, especially on Diamine inks...
So I ordered 2 handfuls of them (aka ten), including my first purchased sheening ink and a few accessories.

We'll see what customs & VAT mount up to when they arrive, since the UK are now officially out of the EU.

:(

Stay safe,

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
