What ink(s) are you waiting for in the mail?

[Misfit]

My very recent series of ink binge buying: De Atramentis Frankincense, Mark Twain, and 225 Years of US Constitution; J Herbin Terre de Fue, and 30 ml Diamine inks from Massdrop offer of 5. I chose Soft Mint, Apple Glory, Pumpkin, Sunshine Yellow, and Chocolate Brown. I'm waiting on those.

& add Platinum Carbon Black to the list as well.

 

 

Waiting on:

• Sailor Jentle in Yama-dori
• Sailor Jentle Souten
• Sailor Kiwa-Guro
• Platinum Carbon Black

 

Kiwa Guro and Souten arrived late last night, well after 8 PM. Not that I particularly minded. Hope to test those out soon.

I was looking over the Goulet site blog this morning, and saw that there was another review of Lamy Dark Lilac up. "Why would they tease us so?", I wondered. And then checked the store. Where Dark Lilac was back in stock! So I pounced.

 

Also tossed a sample of Noodler's Bad Blue Heron into my cart, so I'm waiting for that, now, too.

 

Note: Looks like Dark Lilac is still in stock at Goulet, as of the time of this writing. Be silent; be swift.

30ml bottle of Diamine Macassar and some Seitz-Kreuznach Chestnut Brown cartridges that I will likely never use.

Lol! I just ordered from them the other day, darn my luck. Don't want to pay the shipping for only one item!

[chromantic]

Strange, was on waiting list twice but didn't get any notification, good thing I saw your post; ordered 2.

Same, I didn't get a darn thing. Ah well, to heck with it I'm pulling the trigger lest I live with regret. May as well toss some other bottles I've been needing. I can always use more Lexington Gray.

[EGdaTarHeel]

Expect 2 bottles of Bungbox Sapphire today.

Wow where you got those?

[justaninker]

I broke down and ordered Blue Steel and Texas Blue Bonnet from Dromgoole's today. Fingers crossed that I get the turquoise version of TBB.

I purchased a new old stock Sheaffer calligraphy set on an auction site, which, in addition to the three translucent NoNonsense pens and 3 italic nibs, comes with 14 Skrip ink cartridges. I'm not sure what they all are, but I think there's at least one Skrip Peacock (which I've heard great things about) and a Skrip Green (which I've tried and love). Can't wait to see what else is there.

 

Edit: Though I'll need to find somewhere I can get a jug of distilled water, as I suspect most (if not all) of the ink cartridges will need to be reconsituted.

I have generally been able to find it at any major grocery store in the water isle. It's usually somewhere near the spring water/mineral water. A gallon should run you a little less than a dollar.

Noodler's 54th Massachusetts, Diamine Midnight and some Chesterfield inks (Jade, Orchid and Erinite). Very excited.

[fountainpagan]

I had given up getting one of these diamond shape bottles.

Thank you, again, to the gentle FPN member who aloowed me to have one

[chromantic]

Yama-dori. Stumbled on it while searching eBay for Apricot (hey, you never know) and figured I'd give it a try. Teal is not my favorite color but if the reports of it sheening like crazy even with a fine nib on cheap copy are true, I might start using it at work.

 

Oh, and some more Dark Lilac and Coral, thanks to the shout-outs in the DL and sheen threads. Thanks, peeps!

Good to know, many thanks; I never had to go looking for it before, so I wasn't sure if it was readily available. And, if tracking is right, the set should be arriving today -- I figure the first thing I'll do will be to reconstitute a Skrip Peacock cartridge and try it out with the new fine italic.

I've had to get it on a few occasions for my humidifier. Glad that the arid climate of my room could be of service
