One of the packages I'm waiting for has been stuck in canadian customs for over a week, I wonder what they're doing.

Perhaps they are understaffed and have a backlog of work that need to be done so your package just sits and wait for it's turn...

I just ordered this (my second FP) from Tommy's Vintage Pens. Waterman 32A-V. I almost picked up a Waterman Da Vinci at an antique shop for $35 and rather than just make the blind buy I decided to spend a little more on something that I know that I want - I've been browsing the classifieds and ebay for a few weeks and when this one popped up I knew I found pen #2.

Two Monteverde Impressa - Pearl White w/ SS stub and Rose Gold w/ Black fine AND a Violet Pilot Metropolitan w/ a fine nib from Goulet Pens.

No affiliation - and very happy.

2 Noodler's Ahabs - apache tortoise and a clear demonstrator. 1 Noodler's Konrad - Hawaiian Tortoise and 1 Nib Creaper in Medieval Lapis - all from Goulet pens. They are currently somewhere between Chicago and London!

 

And whoops accidently just got a Nemosine Singularity clear demonstrator from ebay - maybe I'm going to need some more ink!

Some people may not find this all that exciting, but Goulet Pens have *finally* gotten access to Pilot Metropolitans with fine nibs! I just ordered me a silver one.

Monteverde Tool Pen (stylus, FP, rulers, level, and screwdriver heads), in silver, coming from Goulet Pen. The box should be in my mailbox right now, according to the tracking function. It's a master's degree graduation gift for one of my husband's nerdy friends. Of course, I had to spend 75 to get free shipping, so I was forced into a bottle of Iroshizuku and an ink sample to make up the difference. So, sad, you know?

M is too fat, but the EF nib I swapped out of a Penmanship is too narrow. Perhaps an F nib would be just right?

 

I love the F nib on my Vanishing Point. Are the two comparable?

Still waiting for my Hourglass Adjustable Oblique holder.

The dealer (Pen&InkArts) has it back-ordered with the guy who makes them.

I had to buy another oblique holder to use until that one is finally available...whenever that might be. :(

TWSBI Mini classic with 1.1 stub nib

Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Black

Diamine Emerald green

I am hoping against hope that my employer processes mail faster than usual and lets me receive my Sheaffer today rather than Monday.

 

(alas, I am not optimistic, as it is 3 PM and I haven't gotten an email saying I have mail.)

Italix Churchman's Prescriptor with a medium italic nib. I love the Parson's Essential and have heard good things about the Prescriptor. It certainly looks different with such a small section.
