    It's a three-fer tonight. First is some #ink that I'd been wanting to post for a while now. A few months back I ordered three bottles of Wordsworth & Black in when I got it on special (three bottles for the price of two).  While I posted the first two (Royal Blue and Racing Green), the third bottle took weeks to come in.  Well, here it is: Lavender Purple. Definitely much stronger on the purple side than the lavender side -- but I still really like it.

    And, then there's the pen. The other day when I was placing an order for some other stuff the Jinhao X750 #fountainpen showed up in my recommended list.  And, for $8 USD, I couldn't say no. In fact, I added two of them to my cart (the other one is brushed stainless steel). I thought this one looked really cool. I have to say it's a pretty nice pen, cartridge converter, snap-on cap (really strong snap), there is a cap liner for a good seal.  The converter came installed by default. Holds about .5-.75ml of ink.

    Finally, a little quote for the night.  Figured that a little Shel Silverstein was a nice break from the type Lavender quotes. ;)

    Picture of Lavender Purple ink swatch, Jinhao X750 pen in red with beige / tan marbling. The following quote is written on the page:

When the light turns green, you go. When the light turns red, you stop. But what do you do when the light turns blue with orange and lavender spots?
Shel Silverstein
