I'm watching to see who has what kind of sales for the day, and will probably be ordering some more inks. Because I obviously don't have enough.

I bought three 60ml bottles of iron gall ink last night. I guess I should have waited. lol

I am gonna write to my penpals, journal, maybe unink my current pens and fill up all of my Edisons or something themey.
And maybe a Fountain Pen Day feast with pie! Twizzlers are sort of pen shaped, maybe I'll eat some of those.
My favorite holidays have food in them.
I might buy some pens just to get extra entries in raffles. Which is extraordinarily silly.
Maybe I'll put my fountain pens on the floor and just roll around in them.

So tomorrow I won't be buying anything. I'll have to celebrate by writing a letter instead.

Appelboom has a 20% discount on all purchases for the whole weekend using discount code FDP-20 I believe La Couronne du Comte is doing the same - their discount code is on their home page. Not sure how long that is valid for. I so so want to get the Scribe Feel Zucca but I just cannot justify it. Sigh. Maybe a few inks.... enough to get me free shipping of course Happy shopping folks

I lied.
I didn't not buy anything FP related today.
When I got up this morning something came over me and I bought a 1920 hard rubber Moore L-82 fountain pen from Five Star Pens. It was only $45 (US). There's definitely something wrong with me. Why would anybody in their right mind buy a hundred year old piece of dried up rubber like that?

Maybe a few inks.... enough to get me free shipping of course Happy shopping folks I had never heard of this FP before, and looked it up. It's definitely a very pretty pen, but, yes, very spendy!! An ink that I am thinking of getting is Robert Oster Red Candy. It will be perfect for Christmas time.
