Just ordered a 30ml bottle of Diamine Autumn Oak to fill my Franklin-Christoph 02 in amber & cinnamaroon. Can't wait!

At the moment, nothing -- I just got a shipment of samples from Goulet Pens a couple of days ago:

De Atramentis Document White, Document Violet, and Document Fog Grey (plus a vial of the dilution fluid -- I'm hoping that will help, because I haven't been all that impressed with the ones I've tried so far...); Diamine Oxford Blue; Sheaffer Turquoise; Pelikan Turquoise; Noodler's Ottoman Rose; J Herbin 1670 Caroube de Chypre; and Iroshihzuku Kon-peki and Tsuyu-kusa.

So far I've only tried the Caroube de Chypre. My opinions of it are mixed. Not sure yet whether I'll spring for a full bottle or not....

At the moment I'm awaiting 2 bottles of Sailor Riku-Cha, one of the Sailor Season grey, one of the light murky green, and one of the super-light blue.

 

I'm also awaiting one bottle each of Montblanc Golden Yellow and Blue Hour.

Super light blue (Yuki-Akari) is also super horrible.

Well, if it does turn out to suck it would be my first dud Sailor after dozens of them. Still not too bad.

I just did a Google search, and I might like that one (there was a swab comparison image I found including Skrip Peacock as well as Yuki-Akari and some other turquoise toned inks.

A bottle of Usigaya Okayama Colour - Ushimado ege kai. Phew! LOL

 

I'm kind of hoping it'll be a little bit like my Maruzen Athena Nihonbashi Kirin.

From my first purchase through the FPN classifieds, I am waiting for 6 bottles. Iroshizuku Kon-peki, Ku-jaku, Tsukushi, and a small (15 ml) bottle of Yama-budo as well as 30ml bottles of Diamine Ancient Copper and Golden Brown.

 

I wasn't too excited about the Golden Brown, but just saw a hand written classified using it and am changing my mind.

 

Better get cracking - empty some pens and decide which combo first.

Waiting on a 30ml bottle of Diamine Coral from the fine folks at JetPens, and (lowers voice) a bottle of Sailor Kin-mokusei acquired on the Bay of Ease. (Bounces excitedly.)

Diamine Ancient Copper and J Herbin carob whatever. Plus eight random samples from Goulet.

 

LOL, my sleeping cat just fell off the bookshelf.

I could not resist and added these three to my recent order at CultPens: Visconti Turquoise because Matt insists it's the best turquoise, Monteverde Turquoise because I wanted to try their inks for the longest time and never could pick a color and finally a Cross Red, because I have only one or two reds and no Cross.

Well, I've been snuffling at the Sailor trough.

 

This weekend I ordered a bottle each of Rikyu cha and Chu Shu.

 

Then just a few minutes ago I ordered further bottles of Kinmokusei and Wagu Uguisu.

 

I'd like to get Bungubox Tears of a Clown at some point too. Later ... perhaps!
