radellaf: I'll wait 'till June May 24, 2024 19:07:12 GMT
radellaf: Diamine Inkvent 2023 (purple) 50mL up on the UK site. Tempted to buy 6-10 of them. Jun 3, 2024 12:58:01 GMT
distractedmom: Which ones are you tempted by, ? Jun 5, 2024 23:04:27 GMT
Rouge: Hi ! Just a few days ago, I've seen some Herbin's Ink bottles, in my favorite stationary shop. I really liked the Vert de Gris and Vert Empire colors, and I went from "How can I choose between them ?" to "Why should I have to choose anyway ?" Jun 12, 2024 15:06:00 GMT
Rouge: So I got both. Jun 12, 2024 15:06:30 GMT
radellaf: Fireside and (another teal?) Velvet Emerald. I ordered Cashmere Rose, Early Dusk, Jacaranda, Walnut, Weeping Willow as well; I think that's all the colors with no added particles. Jun 14, 2024 21:58:39 GMT
radellaf: Vert de Gris and Rouge Grenat may be my favorite Herbins. Jun 14, 2024 21:59:59 GMT
distractedmom: I like the way you think, Jun 17, 2024 15:20:02 GMT *
distractedmom: I have a shipment from Birmingham pens arriving today. I can’t resist an ink with a good name. I love the Megalodon. Jun 17, 2024 15:21:32 GMT
Mia: ooo Jun 18, 2024 17:28:42 GMT
radellaf: I have so many of theirs partly for the names. I've passed up their last four bundles to save for the Diamines. Jun 18, 2024 23:19:55 GMT
stompie: My very first Waterman ink! Intense Black and it is so wet! Jun 24, 2024 13:10:07 GMT
distractedmom: I have Waterman Audacious Red (not as audacious as I had hoped) and Inspired Blue (a favorite!) Jun 28, 2024 15:54:56 GMT
Mia: black for 2024 inkvent Jun 28, 2024 23:23:09 GMT
radellaf: So now to decide: order the Inkvent calendar, or wait 6 months and order the colors I like? Probably the latter. I don't want any more glitter/shimmer/chameleon inks with particles. I'm not diligent enough to use those (and I have enough) Jul 6, 2024 3:56:40 GMT
Mia: I'll wait for Chrissy's reviews Jul 6, 2024 19:28:49 GMT
Mia: soundcloud.com/user-115260978/149-night-mail-by-w-h-auden?in=user-115260978/sets/pandemic-poems-by-samuel-west Jul 10, 2024 15:37:11 GMT
Gilly: I've just booked up a week in Kefalonia for May 2025 :wave1: My first holiday since 2009.....16 years!!!!! (:)) Jul 23, 2024 23:07:20 GMT
radellaf: Gratz. Looks like a pretty destination. I wanna do another 3-night beach trip this October, or the mountains. Haven't been to them for years. Longer drive. Jul 24, 2024 14:58:48 GMT
Mia: ooo Jul 24, 2024 20:55:50 GMT
