Hi All, I've been a member here since September 2013 but have been mostly lurking. Lately, though, with the addition of a few more pens and a few more ink samples, I've decided to explore the FPN a little more. I've been sucked into reading numerous threads from start to finish... great way to spend a weekend, wouldn't you say? My name is Ev and I live in the beautiful Okanagan Valley of British Columbia. I'm also a member of Postcrossing and Ravelry, where I'm a member of the Pen Fetish Crafters group. At the moment, I have a vintage Schaeffer Lifetime Balance that needs a cap, a Lamy Safari, a Lamy Al-Star, a TWSBI Diamond Mini (probably my fave pen so far), a Cross Aventure, a Noodler's Ahab that's been tossed to the back of the drawer because it arrived (second hand) with a bent tine, and a couple of disposable fountain pens. I have a shopping cart full of things I'll be ordering from Wonder Pens with my next pay cheque, including a Noodler's Konrad, and a Platinum Plaisir in Violet, among other things. Yes, this could become an obsession. Ah well, my husband spends his money on cigarettes; I spend mine on pens and supplies. I think that's fair, don't you?
