Wow. That is um, seriously pink. What is it?

I kind of sort of have a thing for pink pens. I am trying to keep most of my pens within that focus but... sometimes I deviate.

 

Top to bottom: Sailor ProColor - Spring Sakura; Platinum 3776 - Celluloid Sakura; Visconti Michelangelo Venus - Rose

Deviation is SOP around here...I'm awaiting a damaged Carter I'm buying for the carcass and a Waterman Lady Patricia - the writing sample was so pretty I had to pull the trigger. What else? A Moore ringtop of uncertain quality.

 

Some ink.

 

A case.

 

I think that's it...I should put my phone in a lockbox on the weekends.

Any pictures of the Lady Patricia?

The Jinhao 611 just arrived -- I promptly loaded it with Private Reserve Vampire Red. I'd call it between a fine and a medium. Maybe just a little lighter than I like, but it posts well.

Ordered a Hero 359 in purple with an EF nib today, to sate me while I save for more expensive pens. I guess if Lamy isn't going to get around to making a purple pen, I may as well snatch up its clone that DOES come in purple. (Though if/when Lamy does make a purple pen, other than the Deep Purple Al-Star I already have, I'll still buy it. ).

I like the metal Falcon, and the giant CON70 converter that fits in this one (not in the resin one)...

 

 

Enjoy

My Visconti would be here, but UPS is holding it hostage. They only deliver on weekdays, which doesn't work for me, and it requires my signature. Going to have to drive 20 minutes to the UPS place to get my pen sometime on Saturday

Parker 51 Navy Grey standard sized parts, Forest Green demi parts, a couple of nibs, some Hero 616 pens so I can harvest their caps for the 51's (until I can find actual 51 caps being sold by themselves.. which seems to hardly ever be the case). Ah, pen-building.

[MajesticPens]

I am awaiting a four-inch Wahl ring top, supposed to be here tomorrow!

Just got this Delta Sea Wood Wenghè in from Marte Modena. Pictures don't do it justice! The pen has just the right weight, feels very well made and I'm very impressed with the performance of the "Harmonic" steel nib (very smooth and juicy). I'll try to do a review later on.

I've bought two pens in the last week. One made during the Ford administration, the other during World War One.

 

A Waterman 12 SF that I'd been admiring at Peyton Street Pens for months, pushed over the edge by a sale. I plan on writing with this 98 year old pen.

 

A Pilot Myu 701 with a Medium nib that I've had ebay searches running for for months. A lovely stainless steel ink fang. I've wanted one since I saw them, and one is coming my way.

 

This is without going to the LA Pen Show. I shudder to think what I'd have gotten into there.

[Lovely_Pen]

So my Pilot Custom 74 arrived today but sadly the nib doesn't write very smoothly. I think I'm going to have to contact the store I bought it from and see if they can do something about the nib.

 

Besides the nib letdown, the pen is absolutely beautiful!

 

 

 

Now I'm just waiting for my Sailor 1911M in Ivory to arrive from Japan!
