[OldGriz]

The fourth entry in the Grand FPN Snail Collection has arrived and is available here.

 

Thanks Peachez! Lovely stamps, seal, stationery and content!

 

Keep them coming!

Very nice Peachez, I see the wax seal made it across the ocean OK....

Two new entries have been added to our Grand FPN Snail Collection.

 

If the images open in a too big mode, switch to "Medium Size".

 

Enjoy and keep them coming!

You've tempted me, I might just have to get writing. The question is, do I ink up my Duofold or do I wait until my new CS comes back from Conway Stewart fitted with a nice shiny fine nib. Such a difficult decision to make <_<

[acfrery]

Hi Carrie,

 

When I have to decide between a chocolate cake and ice cream... I choose both. In your case, why not sending your first entry with your Doufold, and saving the CS for the second one? How about that?

Ooooo, I like that choice

Some engineering has been made on my Webpage, so the link to The Grand FPN Snail Collection has changed. The new link and (hopefully) permanent URL is https://sites.ufal.br/sites/tci/Members/fre...photoalbum_view

 

This address includes the Gorgeous Envelopes and My Collection sections.

 

Enjoy!

A new entry in our collection!

 

A letter from Carrie@UK just hit my mailbox, and it is already available for everyone. Just go to The Writing Desk, and from there to The Grand FPN Snail Collection.

 

Thanks Carrie! Lovely stationery, handwriting and inks.

Great showcase for three of the new Noodler's U.K. inks! The Sun Never Sets -- wow! :)9

Righto... I'm in!!! This looks like fun! Exprect the letter to be postmarked from Kentucky, but addressed from CT

[jpolaski]

Alright, I lied...though I didn't mean to...

 

I got overzealous and wrote it tonight...should be in the mail tomorrow...lol

Glad to see that my note arrived safely. On my monitor the scan of the letter isn't an accurate representation of The Sun Never Sets. The scan is making it look more browny when in fact it's quite a bright orange ink and it turns my Conway Stewart into a very wet writer.

 

Alejandro, glad you like the stationery, it's a very smooth paper to write on. No idea what type of paper it might be, it was a present from a friend in Australia.

Ladies and Gentlemen, a new entry to The Grand FPN Snail Collection has been added. Thanks Polaski, and keep them coming!

I sent one. Usually my snails are very plain, but you all inspired me to bust out the rubber stamps.

[p-zero]

I just tried to go to The Grand FPN Snail Collection to see what's there and my computer won't let me. It says the certificate expired on 30 June 2006, or something like that. Is it safe to override that and view this site anyway, or will my computer "security" be breached in someway?

[sonia_simone]

Alejandro, I sent a letter about three weeks ago--you haven't seen it? I did send it Airmail, hope it finds its way to you eventually.

Hi Simone and all contributors,

 

I have been abroad and very busy for about two months.

 

Just before my trip the guys at the University that take care of the site and of other Web services started big server changes and, among other calamities, I no longer can update my Web page. Our FPN Grand Snail Collection is hosted there.

 

I talked to them last week, and they promised me everything will be functional by the end of the month, and I really hope it will.

 

In the meantime, access to the collection can be made through http://www.tci.ufal.br/frery -> The Writing Desk

 

Please be patient, new excellente material is already scanned and waiting for a technical solution.

 

Alejandro

Thank you for the update Alejandro! That sounds very frustrating about your site.

 

I will wait with patience and curiosity to see the new contributions.
