Flotsam & Jetsam No. 10: Sundays Are for Pens

Posted on September 16, 2012 by penmanila

IT BEING a rainy Sunday here in Manila, I thought I’d take out some of my fountain pens—vintage and modern—for some routine maintenance (read: boy plays with toys). I took this shot of the pens with my iPhone, and I rather like its antique-y look.

And while we’re at it, here are the pens in my current rotation. Can you identify them?

I hope you’ll hold a contest in this blog in which the prize be fountain pens. I live in the province wherein no store sell these things. Much more, I’m still in school thus it is difficult to save up for a pen to be bought from the big city. It will really be exciting because I haven’t used a fountain pen in my life…ever. I want to try it because I have a nice cursive (which by the way, I think, is an endangered art).

I hope you’ll think about it. 🙂

PS: nice blog 🙂
