WISH LIST

Below is my ever-evolving wish list and below that is my list of Got It, Got It, Don’t Want It items from previous wish lists.
Last Update:  January 2015

Watercolor Sheets. Fun! (Even if I’m not an artist.)

These Notebooks. I have one. I need more more more!

Empty Ink Bottles. Crazy, right?

O Ruby. And this.

Visconti Traveling Ink Pot. More of a want than a need. (As if any of the items on this page are needs? Puh-lease.) This is the oldest ungotten item on my wish list.

Autumn Oak. And this Conklin Duragraph to go along with it.

Montblanc Starwalker Ultimate Carbon.  Oh boy.  Or maybe this pretty Balzac fountain pen? Definitely the Balzac, yes.Fun Wax Seals. I like that this seller has fun images – not all serious and scrolly.This Light Pad to help me with calligraphy. In theory. Ha.

I need this Kaweco Liliput in copper. COPPER!

I’ve been playing with watercolors lately, and this set from Kuretake looks interesting.

I’ve heard good things about Stabilo fineliners.

Visconti. Crystal. Please. Oh, please.

Oh, yeah, and I (still) want every ink in the world.  Is that wishing for too much?

GOT IT, GOT IT, DON’T WANT IT…

Removed from List. Bandolier from Clever Hands  – No long feeling like I have to have.

Removed from List. Pilot Falcon Rhodium – Soft Extra Fine – I ended up getting the red Falcon and am oh-so-happy with it.

Removed from List.  This Case – I was going to use it for pencils, but found a different (more flat) solution that is working.

Removed from List.   Platinum Desk Pen Set. Not feeling the love.

Removed from List.   Pilot Desk Pen. Seeing a trend of Desk Pens leaving the list.

Got it. Love it.  Pilot Metropolitan – Black Crocodile. I have three Metropolitans already – collect them all!

Got it. Going to get it Again! Printstagram. One day, in my copious amount of spare time, I’m going to sort through my Instagram photos and have prints made of the very best.

Got it.  Love it. Private Reserve Spearmint Cartridges Yes, cartridges. I’d rather travel with cartridges than samples of ink and I never ever travel with full pens (rule of life for me).

Got it. Haven’t used it yet.  Tomoe River Paper Journal.

Crossed Off the List – I’m so happy with the papers I have. Onion Skin Paper. I’ve heard good things about this paper.

Got it. Hated it! Have decided that I need Circa. Haven’t decided how I’m going to put it all together.

OMG..Sold Out! Missed it!  Do you love this as much as I? White Tea

Got It. Haven’t Used It! This ink. Really.

Got it. Like it! Pelikan M205 – Red. This link is for a fine nib, but I’d rather have it in broad.

Got it. Love it!  Have been reading good things about this paper from HP.

Crossed off the list. I held this one at the SF Pen Show and was not pleased with its weight – just too heavy for me.  Visconti Homosapien Fountain Pen. It’s just so pretty.

Got it. Love it!  Diamine Pumpkin Ink. I’m in looooove!

Got it. It’s ok. Not big love.  Mont Blanc Ink. I have a vintage pen that wants needs this ink.Got it. Heard about trouble with some of the inks – never used in a pen. Thank goodness it was just the sample.  Organics Studio Ink – Cobalt. It’s just the sample size – won’t be on the wish list long.Got it. Love it! See above.  Organics Studio Ink – Mercury Red. Another sample – love this shade of red. A bit rosy perhaps?

Got a sample.    Fuyu-syogun Ink. From Pilot Iroshizuku. Not a true gray (grey? whatever). More of a blue-gray. A swoon gray!

Got a sample to try.  Private Reserve Ink – Copper Reserve. Looks like it would have great shading.

Got it. Too small to really be useful, but not bad quality.   Field Notes. Have never tried this brand of paper, but keep seeing it around. Not sure what to expect, but I’m willing to try.

Got it. Love it! Pelikan Edelstein Topaz Ink. Gotta have it!

Crossed off. I ended up trying out the Tribute – it’s heavier than I wanted. And the Etoile? It’s just not as pretty in person.  Found this MontBlanc while looking for this MontBlanc (which is the one I really really want).

46,086 thoughts on “WISH LIST

  1. The post made the topic feel approachable without making it feel trivial, that is a fine balance, and a stop at alpinecovevendorworkshop maintained the same balance, finding the middle ground between welcoming and serious is genuinely difficult and the writers here have clearly figured out how to consistently hit it well across many different posts.

  2. If a friend asked me where to read carefully on the topic I would send them here without hesitation, and a look at explorefreshgrowth confirmed the recommendation strength, the directness of my recommendation reflects how confident I am in the quality and this site has earned undiluted recommendations from me across multiple recent conversations actually.

  3. Bookmark added without hesitation after finishing, and a look at foxarbor confirmed I should bookmark the homepage too rather than just this page, the rare site that earns category level trust rather than just single article approval is the kind I want to rely on across many different topics over time.

  4. В этой статье обсуждаются актуальные медицинские вопросы, которые волнуют общество. Мы обращаем внимание на проблемы, касающиеся здравоохранения и лечения, а также на новшества в области медицины. Читатели будут осведомлены о последних событиях и смогут следить за тенденциями в медицине.

  5. Liked the way the post got out of its own way, and a stop at mintmeadowgoodsroom extended that invisible craft, the best writing you barely notice while reading because it is doing its work without drawing attention to itself and this site has clearly mastered that disappearing act across the pieces I have read.

  6. Came across this looking for something else entirely and ended up reading it through twice, and a look at goldencovemarkethall pulled me deeper into the site than I planned, the writing has a way of holding attention without resorting to manipulative cliffhangers or vague promises that never get delivered later down the page.

  7. Taking the time to read carefully here has been worthwhile for the past hour, and a look at solarmeadowmarketroom extended the worthwhile reading, the calculation of return on reading time spent is something I do informally and this site has been producing positive returns across multiple sessions during the last week of regular visits and reads.

  8. Just want to recognise that someone clearly cared about how this turned out, and a look at fastgoodsbazaar confirmed that care extends across the broader site, you can feel the difference between content shipped to hit a deadline and content released because the writer was actually proud of the result for once.

  9. A piece that exhibited the kind of patience that good writing requires, and a look at trailharbortradeparlor continued that patient quality, hurried writing is easy to spot and this site reads as having been written without time pressure which produces a different feel than the rushed content that dominates much of the modern blog space.

  10. A small thing but the line spacing and font choices made reading this physically pleasant, and a look at floraharborvendorparlor maintained the same careful design, technical choices about typography are part of what makes online reading actually comfortable and this site has clearly invested in the design layer alongside the content layer carefully.

  11. If I had to defend the time I spend reading independent blogs this site would feature in the defence, and a look at silverharborcommercegallery reinforced that defensive utility, the ongoing case for non algorithmic reading is one I make to myself periodically and sites like this one provide the actual evidence that supports the case clearly.

  12. Most posts I read end up forgotten within a day but this one is sticking, and a look at violetharborcraftcollective extended that lingering effect, content that survives the immediate moment of reading rather than evaporating is content with genuine retention quality and this site has been producing memorable pieces at a rate notable across my reading.

  13. Thanks for taking the time to write this, it is clear that some thought went into how each point would land, and after I went through harborstonecraftcollective I had a better grip on the topic, real value without the usual marketing noise people have to put up with online when searching for answers.

  14. Anyone curious about this topic would do well to start here, the foundation laid is solid, and a stop at coralharbormerchantgallery would round out their understanding nicely, this is the kind of resource I would point a friend toward without hesitation if they asked me where to begin learning about anything in this area.

  15. Useful read, especially because the writer did not assume too much background from the reader, and a quick look at skyharborartisanexchange continued in the same way, a thoughtful site that meets people where they are which is something the modern web could use a lot more of for both casual and serious readers.

  16. Found something new in here that I had not seen explained this way before, and a quick stop at nightorchardcraftcollective expanded the idea even further, the kind of writing that nudges your thinking forward a bit without forcing the issue is exactly what I look for online today and rarely actually find anywhere.

  17. The tone stayed consistent across the whole post which is harder than it looks for longer pieces, and a look at windharborartisanexchange continued the same voice, this kind of editorial consistency is a sign of either a single careful writer or a tightly run team and either is impressive today across the broader media environment.

  18. Now setting up a small reminder to revisit the site on a slow day, and a stop at honeymeadowmarketroom confirmed the reminder was a good idea, planning return visits is a small organisational act that signals trust in ongoing quality and this site has earned that planned return through consistent performance across the pieces I have read so far.

  19. My professional context would benefit from having this kind of resource available, and a look at auroracoveartisanexchange extended the professional applicability, the rare site that contributes meaningfully to professional work rather than just personal interest is content with multiplied value and this one is providing that professional utility consistently across multiple pieces.

  20. Once you start reading carefully here it is hard to go back to lower quality alternatives, and a stop at globalcartcenter reinforced that ratchet effect, the way good content raises standards is real over time and this site has clearly contributed to raising my expectations for what is possible in writing on the topic generally.

  21. Picked this for a morning recommendation in our company chat, and a look at dawnridgecraftcollective suggested I will mention this site again later, recommending content into a workplace context is a small editorial act that requires confidence in the recommendation and this site is making me confident in those recommendations consistently here too.

  22. Yesterday I was complaining about the state of online writing and today this site has temporarily fixed that complaint, and a look at fastbuystore extended that mood reversal, the short term mood improvement that comes from finding good content is real and this site has produced that improvement for me at a useful moment.

  23. Appreciate how nothing here feels copied or pieced together from other places, the voice is consistent and the tone stays human, and after I checked canyonharborvendorparlor I noticed the same style holds, which is a small detail but it makes the whole experience feel personal rather than like another generic site.

  24. Appreciate the thoughtful approach, the writer clearly took time to make this readable for someone who is not already an expert, and a look at orchardharborvendorhall kept that going nicely, easy on the eyes and easy on the brain which is always a winning combination when reading on a busy day.

  25. Stands apart from similar pages by actually being useful, that is high praise these days, and a look at firminlets kept that standard going, you can tell when a site is built around the reader versus around metrics and this one clearly belongs to the first category for sure based on what I read.

  26. Now organising my browser bookmarks to give this site easier access, and a look at autumncovevendorstudio earned the same organisational priority, the small acts of digital housekeeping I do for sites I expect to use often are themselves a measure of trust and this site has triggered the trust based housekeeping behaviour from me clearly.

  27. Definitely returning here, that is decided, and a look at oakcovemarkethall only made the case stronger, this is one of those rare websites that rewards regular visits rather than feeling stale after the first read which is something I cannot say about most of the places I bookmark today across all my topics.

  28. A piece that read as the work of someone who reads carefully themselves, and a look at forestcovevendorgallery continued that informed feel, writers who are also serious readers produce work with a different quality and this site reads as the product of someone steeped in good writing rather than just generating content for an audience.

  29. My usual pattern is to skim and bounce but this site has reset that pattern temporarily, and a stop at zencovegoodsgallery maintained the slower reading mode, content that changes how I read is content with structural influence and this site has clearly nudged my reading behaviour toward something better at least for the duration of these visits.

  30. Clean writing, easy to read, and never tries too hard to impress, that combination is harder to find than people think, and after my time on fastgoodsbazaar I am sure this site treats its readers well, no flashy tricks just useful content done right which is honestly all I want online.

  31. Solid post, the structure is easy to follow and the language stays simple even when the topic gets a bit more involved, and a look at goldenharbortradehall kept that same standard going, so I left feeling like the time spent here was actually worth something for once which is rare lately.

  32. A piece that handled multiple complications without becoming confused, and a look at solarmeadowcommercegallery continued that organisational clarity, holding multiple threads in a single piece without losing any of them is a sign of skilled writing and this site has clearly developed the editorial discipline to manage complexity without sacrificing readability throughout.

  33. Picked up something useful for a side project, and a look at chestnutharborcraftcollective added another piece I will incorporate, content that connects to specific projects I am working on is content with practical utility and the practical utility of this site is showing up across multiple posts I have read in the last hour or so.

  34. Liked the natural conversational tone throughout, never stiff and never overly casual either, and a stop at honeycoveartisanexchange kept that comfortable middle ground going, finding a tone that respects the reader without becoming distant or overly familiar is harder than it sounds and this site nails that balance consistently across many different pieces.

  35. However selective I am about new bookmarks this one made it past my filter, and a look at tealharborvendorparlor confirmed the bookmark was worth the slot, the precious slots in my permanent bookmark folder are difficult to earn and this site earned one without making me think twice about whether the slot was justified by the quality.

  36. Worth every minute of the time spent reading, and a stop at snowcoveartisanexchange extends that value across more pages, in a media environment where most content is engineered to waste attention this site stands out by treating reader time as something valuable rather than something to be exploited and stretched as far as possible.

  37. Thanks for the readable length, I finished it without checking how much was left, and a stop at bayharborartisanexchange kept me reading the same way, when I stop noticing the length of a piece because the content is engaging enough to sustain attention without willpower the writer has done their job well today.

  38. Even on a quick first read the substance of the post comes through, and a look at trailharborcommercegallery reinforced that immediate quality, content that does not require a slow careful read to demonstrate value but rewards one anyway is content with real depth and this site has produced work of that demanding depth class.

  39. Excellent post, balanced and well organised without showing off, and a stop at freshguild continued in that same vein, this site has clearly figured out the formula for content that works for readers rather than for search engine ranking signals which is harder than it sounds today and worth real recognition from anyone.

  40. A piece that earned its conclusions through the body rather than asserting them at the end, and a look at dunecovecraftcollective maintained the same earned quality, conclusions that follow from what came before are more persuasive than declarations and this site has clearly internalised that principle in how it constructs arguments throughout pieces.

  41. Worth every minute of the time spent reading, and a stop at findyourprogresslane extends that value across more pages, in a media environment where most content is engineered to waste attention this site stands out by treating reader time as something valuable rather than something to be exploited and stretched as far as possible.

  42. Better than the average post on this subject by some distance, and a look at woodcoveartisanexchange reinforced that, you can tell within the first paragraph that the writer here actually cares about the topic rather than just covering it for the sake of having something to publish that week or that day.

  43. A welcome reminder that thoughtful writing still happens online, and a look at coralmeadowcommercegallery extended that reassurance, the modern web makes it easy to forget that careful writing exists and finding sites that practice it is a small antidote to the cynicism that builds up from too much exposure to algorithmic content.

  44. Most attempts at writing on this topic feel like they are missing something and this post finally identified what was missing, and a look at plumharborvendorroom extended that diagnostic clarity, content that names what is wrong with adjacent treatments while doing better itself is content with both critical and constructive value and this site has both.

  45. Left me wanting to read more rather than feeling burned out, that is a good sign, and a look at orchardmeadowmarketroom confirmed there is plenty more here to explore, the kind of writing that builds appetite rather than killing it which is a rare quality on the modern open internet today across most categories of content.

  46. В этой статье мы рассмотрим современные достижения в области медицины, включая инновационные методы лечения и диагностики. Мы обсудим важность профилактики заболеваний и роль технологий в улучшении качества здравоохранения. Читатели узнают о влиянии медицины на повседневную жизнь и ее значение для современного общества.

  47. Reading this slowly in the morning before opening email, and a stop at gladeridgemarketparlor extended that protected attention, content that earns the prime morning reading slot before the daily distractions begin is content with elevated status and this site has earned that prime slot consistently in my recent reading habits clearly.
