There was something I wanted to buy on this past trip to Rome. I really wanted a "nice" fountain pen. I like them, they put ink to paper differently than ball points, rollers,etc. OK, I just like them.
There are many shops in Rome that sell fine writing utensils and I visited several and window shopped more. Beautiful pens, beautiful displays and spectacular prices. So I returned to Florida, where they think fountain pens are the ones you dip into the ink each time you write a word or two. And, I shopped antique stores...Yesterday I gave up. I went on line and found what I was looking for. It will arrive doppo-domani (day after tomorrow) and I am very happy.
Oh, what kind? Made in Italy of course! Even with the 6000 mile trip over the pond it was still about $50 cheaper here. Just how can you figure it out? I think to much, just accept what life brings! Via UPS Ken! Don't mess it up!
This is my on line "Collector's Cabinet". It is non-profit and haphazard at best. I leave it to you to sort through and make sense of.The views are mine. The collection reflects some of my interests. But the material must be credited to the vast internet. Otherwise, I never would have been able to amass such a treasure trove. The purpose of this exercise is entertainment, naturally mine, but even more so yours. So, please let me know if anything strikes a chord with you.
