Those are just the fountain pens. ;)<br />The glass pens--fell in love with them when I first laid eyes on them...even if the set I bought didn't work, it was too pretty to throw away. Now maybe I will have one that actually works! :)<br />I have certain odd things like the stationery cabinet that I drool over and will save up for. Most people don't understand it...but then there are always other droolers around who share the passion. ;) I think that's what I love about the internet. You can run across people who might share some of your interests or whose interests fascinate you. Glad I ran across you. Every time I follow you around in the woods it brings back memories and smiles. :):)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-63154805504127402182011-10-07T06:15:16.636-05:002011-10-07T06:15:16.636-05:00i THINK i might have mentioned before...i too lOve...i THINK i might have mentioned before...i too lOve pens! i've never ordered any online...i think i'd be a little nervous to let myself GO like that...i would spend way too much time browsing...and then prob spend too much ordering. as it is...when i get to the art store...or office supply store...it's tough to tear me away from the PENS! i have all kinds...like you...((but i did glance at your newest post...and i have NEVER seen a glass tipped pen like the one you showed!! WoW!!))<br /><br />also...i just love your wooden stationary box!! what a perfect home for your pens...and it's nice to have the xtra drawer space...and the holders in the top lid to keep your pads from falling out!! perfect!! OH, and the pottery pen holders...very nice too!!<br /><br />have a wonderful (pain free) weekend... :)laurak/ForestWalkArt :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00285156023840252154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-13576325517002665942011-10-07T04:37:41.678-05:002011-10-07T04:37:41.678-05:00Dee--I'd need to write a post about me and pen...Dee--I'd need to write a post about me and pens and inks to answer all your questions. No, I don't think I have gotten into it in any great detail on my blog, unless I forgot--my memory isn't what it used to be--LOL! Guess I'll have to do that. You'd be shocked at the number and variety of different writing and drawing instruments I have here. I think I need to take some pictures when the sun comes out. Be one long post, I warn you! ROFL! May have to split it up. ;)<br /><br />Carol--Yes, we had an Indian Summer week of hot days again. One day was in the 90s and the rest 80s. I think tomorrow it is supposed to drop back to the 60s after the thunderstorms roll through.<br />I know! I never had such sleeping problems until I got fibro. I was always a night owl and had things that forced me to ignore being tired, but when I had the chance to sleep I used to be hard to wake up and could sleep and sleep! Those days are long gone apparently--LOL! ;)<br /><br />AliceKay--Glad you got your birthday card! I'll keep the sunrise shots coming! :):) Thanks! Hope you had a special day.<br /><br />Serena--When you read the next post you'll see...best laid plans, right? Murphy's Law and all that--ROFL! No rest for the wicked.<br />I love handmade pottery! I even have a huge pot I bought over three decades ago from a potter in Anoka, Minnesota that I keep all my big kitchen utensils in. It's just a part of my kitchen. And Leah--she made me all kinds of cups when she took that pottery class! And bowls we could use when we paint. Ahhh!! And she even made me a candle holder and dishes for Karma! :):) What a sweetheart she is. Yup, you should find a local potter!! ;)<br />LOL@painfree putter prayers...just sounds so funny...but I do need them. <br />Have a great weekend!<br /><br />Jeannie--Sounds like you are in a similar pain boat. Do you have fibro or OA or something like that? I swear just having the sharp knee pain for all those days set my whole dang body off...like striking a pain gong--LOL!<br />When they came out my favorite was the burgundy LePen. They were the thinnest, most elegant disposable pen I had ever seen. Ahhh! I discovered still love the feel of one in my hand.<br />Happy weekend to you, too, and I hope you are feeling tip top soon, too. :):)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-40839128813003924782011-10-07T04:13:31.667-05:002011-10-07T04:13:31.667-05:00Djan--LOL!

I don't care if the majority of my fountain pens are $3 pens...I do feel pen wealthy!! ;)<br />You'll see in the next blog that breaking the cycle wasn't in the cards. I didn't waste any pain pills--hehe! ;)<br /><br />Iggy--As I emailed you, it is a cabinet I would "repurpose" into a pen cabinet--LOL! Real pen cabinets that could hold as many pens as I have are way too expensive for my blood. ;)<br />A cure would be nice!! :):)<br /><br />Nikki-This is a modern copy of an antique style stationery box. I fell in love with it a decade ago and saved up. ;) <br />I think I've been on pain pills off and on for so long that they never knock me out. All they do is take the sharp edge off the pain...kind of dull it up a little. It doesn't get rid of the pain, but makes it more tolerable. The stronger stuff that might knock me out (anything related to morphine) makes me sick. I had oxycoden (not sure if I am spelling that correctly) after my jaw surgery, though, for three days and that didn't make me sick and was the first time in maybe 15 years I was totally without pain. Super addictive! It was awesome to remember what it used to feel like to have no pain, but I was also a bit spacey--LOL! That stuff could turn me into a drug addict! ;)<br /><br />Deanna--I hope I can get some sleep and this goes away here pretty soon, too. Have a super day!! :)<br /><br />Santosh--Thanks so much! My entire small apartment is like my sanctuary. It is very peaceful here...well, most of the time--haha! You would probably love writing at my desk. :) <br /><br />Nezzy--Oh, yes! I have a lot of colorful inks! I am know to sometimes write my bookcard letters with a different color on each page--LOL! You have a great weekend, lady! *hugs*Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-39444269943142760722011-10-07T02:10:40.348-05:002011-10-07T02:10:40.348-05:00You are so right - the pain is bad enough without ...You are so right - the pain is bad enough without losing your sleep too!! I'm glad you have a bit of a "stash" to help you out. I do too and I guard it with my life, lol!<br /><br />I'm glad you got some puttering done but didn't overdo it! I know that's hard to do...you feel better and want to catch up on stuff and the next thing you know, you've done way too much. Nasty cycle!!<br /><br />All your neat paper makes my heart pitter patter in happiness!! LOVE neatly organized paper...or anything else, lol! What a lovely collection of pens too!! I remember when the LePens were really big and I had a pink one. So thin and elegant....at least to a 7th grader, lol!<br /><br />Big hugs and I wish for you a great weekend!!!Queenie Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13372885558434883470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-63467341562440565252011-10-07T00:42:18.806-05:002011-10-07T00:42:18.806-05:00OH you poor thing...I know you only reach for the ...OH you poor thing...I know you only reach for the Davocet when it's bad. Glad to hear it was effective enough to let you putter around here and there and I hope it continues to help.<br /><br />LOL at your OCD comment...I only wish I was as organised as you. You DON'T want to see my art desk right now after I painted the abstract last week. I still haven't tidied it up. lol <br /><br />I adore pottery pen holders! I used to have one for my paintbrushes but sold it in our garage sale before going to the States. Must check to see if there is a pottery store nearby.<br /><br />I used to enjoy watching Supernatural until they put it into a late night time slot and I was just too tired to stay awake. <br /><br />Pain-free putter prayers heading your way, dear friend,<br /><br />Love,<br />Serena xoSerena Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789734075055678964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-81600342762048695982011-10-06T22:46:52.425-05:002011-10-06T22:46:52.425-05:00I can never get enough of your sunrise shots.

Like your box and the pens within it. A treasure trove.<br /><br />I'm so sorry to hear about your pain and the sleeplessness. But you surely do make lemonade out of lemons.<br /><br />Several questions:<br />What do you write?<br />What do you use your calligraphy pens for?<br />Do you use some of these pens for drawing?<br />How did you get started collecting and using lovely pens of a variety of hues and also such fine and wonderful paper?<br /><br />I'd love to know all of this. Maybe your postings before I started to read your blog would tell me.<br />But I'd love to have you tell all of us more about your passion.<br /><br />Peace.Dee Readyhttp://www.cominghometomyself.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-87749158140099221212011-10-06T16:22:34.994-05:002011-10-06T16:22:34.994-05:00Oh my...what a collection of colorful pens!!!
