New Arrivals and Wishlists
April 13, 2008
Ah, spring has finally sprung - the “freshness” of renewal and new arrivals. A spirit of optimism and hope prevails as the seasons change from dark to light. Enough already, I am not a poet (although my feet may show it, they are Longfellows!).
Back to pens - what has recently arrived in the mail or is on the wish list to dream or lust about or maybe just the thrill of the hunt - ebay, discussion boards, antique shows and shops or best of all, a heavenly pen show. Or maybe, just maybe the children or spouse of a member will find this page bookmarked or left on screen so that they could check out this list as a shopping guide for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, birthday, anniversary, or just because day.
Here goes:

You guys (I use the term in the genderless sense) are doing a fantastic job! I feel like a lazy slob, just reading and enjoying your observations, comments and knowledge. Some day I’m going to contribute something myself! No kidding.
