And I do too!!
Ah Marie how many wonderful things. Later when the house is quiet I will revisit this page as there are many things I want to do.
ReplyDeleteWhen i was in Geneva I fulfilled a life time wish to own a beautiful fountain pen. Today I looked it up on the net and was surprised at how expensive it was. I paid far less than that.http://www.pensdeluxe.ashop.com.au/p/827091/caran-dache-ecridor-gold-chevron-fountain-pen.html
Someone at knitting and I had a conversation about pens and nibs. I had a beautiful pen set up for my music theory and i loved it. I just do not know what happened to my pens and seals. She then told me she had a pen for taking shorthand. Hers is gone too. I love my pens.
Enjoy your day and God bless.
Hi, Marie! Happy Friday! ;) Oooo... a crochet stitch like a knit stitch... I am intrigued, and must try! Not that I am knitting again, along with crochet... LOL! Great idea for keeping blanket stitch stitches even--an homemade stitch tattoo! ;) I've been wanting to do a daily art journal too, but somehow I don't get to doing it daily--great inspiration. VERY fun calligraphy chart! I used to tinker with calligraphy a long time ago... my handwriting would thank me more if I picked that up again... LOL! How simple and great is that hem marking??!! I guess I just don't have enough brains... ha! Your potato broccoli casserole looks sooo good--winter comfort food! :))) Happy weekend to you all there ((LOVE & BIG HUGS))
ReplyDeleteLove the calligraphy poster..so many great finds.
ReplyDeleteI bought myself a fountain pen a few months back Suzan, and it doesn't work properly. It's a Parker Pen too, so it wasn't cheap! I just can't seem to get the ink to flow! I have a great love for pens. xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks Tracy! I bet your calligraphy was beautiful. I cannot imagine you doing anything that wasn't! I confess I thought of you with the crochet/knit one! Love and hugs! xoxo
Thanks Monique! Your calligraphy is charming. You are such a talent when it comes to writing and art! xoxo
I am so sorry Marie. Would you be able to contact them? I would certainly be most peeved if my pen was not workign properly.
ReplyDeleteI used my birthday money to buy it last year Suzan and I have never been able to get it to work properly.xo
ReplyDeleteFi tried my hand at calligraphy Marie, but at first it seemed. Not to difficult but by the third or fourth lesson it was clear to me that I would never be a good calligrapher....so as usual with me I gave it up !! What am I like....have I ever told you how hard I find writing comments on this I pad, the letters are so tiny I can barely see what I have written, don't know why that should be as any other time I am writing the print size is no so bad......anyway. I hope that you have had a good day and you've not been doing tooooo much...love to Todd ...night night xx
