In reply to the discussion: What do you REALLY want for Christmas? (None of that world peace crap, either). [View all]blogslut
(38,002 posts)20. I got a super cheap one coming in the mail soon.
I wanna see if my fancy writing jones will be satiated before I lay down real money. I realize there are more expensive fountain pens but that one looks so slick.
What I find stunning is how hard it is to find real onionskin paper/envelopes. There's like maybe three manufacturers of it now.
I used to have a dip pen and I loved it, especially when I was going through my pointillism/stipple phase.
Now I have this urge to write on old timey paper, with an old timey pen and seal it in an old timey fashion.

OP
I'd settle for $ to finish my home repairs, followed by a quick sale and enough left over to live
