I love turquoise inks in the spring and summer. Sheaffer Turquoise seems like a good one.

INK SWAB: 127/365 – Sheaffer Green
Sheaffer Green looks like more of a teal in this swab. I’m not loving it.
Here’s a link to the sample over on Goulet Pens so you can see what others have to say.
INK SWAB: 105/365 – Sheaffer Purple
Purple from Sheaffer is a nice, bright, cheery shade of ink. I prefer a deeper shade of purple, but for those looking for this color, Sheaffer is a good, reliable brand.
INK SWAB: 54/365 – Sheaffer Brown
Sheaffer Brown is a little too red for me. Besides, we all know that I don’t like brown inks.
INK SWAB: 5/365 – Sheaffer Red
Bold and classic.
Sheaffer Red.
In case you missed it earlier, I’m giving away a great looking notebook filled with Tomoe River Paper. Here’s a link for you.

There they are.
Click any picture in this post to see the full-size version. These are all iPhone photos – decent quality, but not perfect.
Going to try to let the photos do the talking here and come back another time with detailed images. You all must be tired of reading my posts about the LA Pen Show, but, dude, it was massive.
And we’re off . . .

Following is the pen that Susan Wirth recommended for Mr. Pentulant. I love this pen. I’m going to have to find a way to convince Mr. Pentulant to transfer ownership to me. 😉

Susan Wirth proclaimed, “You are an italics waiting to happen, Number Five!” As I mentioned yesterday, I tried a bunch of pens with italics ends and ended up falling in (almost) love with fantastic pen, but the price was more than I wanted to spend. Blech.
No worries, I didn’t walk away empty-handed. Check it out . . .

The next item is from Franklin-Christoph. If you’ve never shopped there, you should. I love their high quality and impressive customer service. I have had nothing but good experiences with them and their items are very thoughtfully designed.

Annnnd this pen is also from Franklin-Christoph. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen that I have the little sister of this pen and love it. This one is equally cool. (This is the clipless version.)

The twins . . . Mr. Pentulant found the next pen for himself. I ended up with pen envy and made him run off and find one for me, too . . .

INK DROP: April 2013
I received my Goulet Pens Ink Drop delivery a couple of days ago.
What a great group of colors, yes?
If I had to choose one that didn’t fit with the others, it would be the De Atramentis Indigo Blue – it’s a little dusky compared with the other clear clean colors, but I’d definitely write with it.
Between the two turquoise colors, I would choose the Lamy. Though the colors are very similar, the Lamy is definitely more saturated and I like that.
The Namiki blue has a bit of red in it – defnitely still blue, but leans more toward the purple end of things to my eye.
I’ve heard some great things about Diamine Soft Mint (which ended up a little funky in the scanned image above) and hope to have time to take a closer look at it in the very near future. Here’s a picture from my iPhone – the color is a bit better here….
Kudos to the person at Goulet Pens who chose this assortment! Well done.
Oh..and here’s the image I posted over on Instagram. I’m @christinewitt there.
