I have some very old fountain pens in a curio cabinet, and the tips that are fun to write with. An open bottle of ink around my house would be a blotted disaster with the furpkidz who like to help every time I write.
Here's the link...to some fine handmade pens from a BFP Mmember.

We have someone here on the sight that makes a most wonderful pen. I have several that are just what I wanted, and with the ink that flows just as I like.
Hoping to see a display again at this year's Reuinion. Also a pen can be custom made just for you too.
Stay tuned for the next project. It could be a blast.

Ooh, purty pens! Thanks! Also exploding projects make me happy!

I mail one a week, as well as a few post cards. Not all to the same person, most people get one a month or so. I usually have two or three letters going at once and when I've got a few pages, I send them out. I figure I'm doing my duty to keep the USPS in business. Even if I did buy about a bazillion forever stamps last Christmas right before the rates went up! The funny thing is, my big three letter receivers are my niece, one of my sisters and my mom. They never write back, aside from Christmas and Birthday cards, but heaven help me if a month goes by and I miss sending one out to them! We also email and phone call and skype a lot, but the letters are special. My sister is all "Well, you send such long letters and I can't write anything that long." I tell her not to worry about it, just send me a short note! It's all good!
I'm thinking about getting into paper-making too. Like I need anther hobby/addiction.
