my SS bought me a beautiful quill pen and a vial of ink. handcrafted in Italy, shipped from Australia. I am ECSTATIC. I've wanted a good, gorgeous, reliable pen for years, and have never had the money to invest in it. now I have my own; it is something that I will cherish for the rest of my life and undoubtedly pass down to my kids.

hopefully this will be the spark I need to jump start a writing career. thanks again, SS! you are THE BEST.
