I'm really upset at myself. I thought the max size for the postcard rate was 5x7 but it"s actually only 4.25x6. And that means a bunch of my postcards didn't make it to destination. And I'm not even sure which ones. Sad.

Hi all

 

I just wanted to let you know about an online store I found for Postcards. It's called The Postcard Store

 

They have more varieties available than are currently shown on the web-site and they will be updating their web-site next week to show their new stock. You can ring them and they will describe their new postcard sets to you.

 

Their cards may only be available to British users, but they look like really good value postcards and greetings cards. :bunny01:

Doug,

 

I'd be surprised if the postcards didn't go through, anyway. I had the same problem with a batch of cards a few years ago, and they arrived with less than adequate postage.

Excellent 15-cent postcards with card stock that is ink-friendly? Yes. I stumbled onto this: http://www.pomegranate.com/100aspo.html I've written on them with various inks, and they are a pleasure to write on. My vintage cards are being neglected.

Hi Everyone,

 

I would love to participate in postcard exchange, have been in FPN for awhile but haven't have the chance to join.

 

Would love to receive postcards from you guys all over the world. Computers are making all of use losing the personal touch and take our ability to write for granted.

Writing with fountain pen is something so fundemental and beautiful.

 

Sending postcard from Asia. PM me if you would like to have a postcard exchange. Thanks.

Writing give me the opportunity to reflect and be mindful about the present moment.

I haven't got the hang of this yet, and to be honest I'm not sure who I have sent PC's to and who I haven't. :unsure:

 

So if we have made contact via PM and you are expecting a PC from me and you haven't received one yet please can you let me know. :eureka:

 

I know I have received cards from Trillium, docholt, DogArtist, Jimothy and Tawanda

and I believe I have sent out cards to Trillium, Tawanda, docholt & DogArtist.

 

I am trying to work out how to make my own postcards so that I can send some with photographs that I have taken on them. It's proving a little problematical at the moment, but I hope to solve it.

 

I'm happy to send more. My current cards feature Afternoon Tea in England, and I've just received some Animals. If I ever manage to print my own there may be some birds.

I'd like to be a part of this postcard exchange.

I live in Michigan about 3 miles outside of Hell Michigan.

So If anyone is interested I can exchange a postcard from Hell. I can also send regular postcards.

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
