Of Divine Deliciousness April 7, 2009
Posted by Jen in : Journal, Things to Buy , 24 commentsAs you can imagine, I am made of fairly stern stuff. But, dear reader, I must confess that something rare has happened. I have been swoonified. Oh yes indeed. I mean, of course I have my share of fanciful ideas – I’m practically famous for it. I daydream relentlessly about the house I will own in France when I am a famous writer. You know, the one with the dewy grass, raspberries growing, etc. And I do intend to make this happen. But, oddly for me, the object of my desire is in reach.
Isn’t this the most beautiful thing? I have never lusted over coloured ink before – quite the opposite, in fact. I am hopelessly in love with my Mont Blanc fountain pen and slightly lairy brown Waterman ink. I have been for some years and even take it to work for pleasant message-scribbling. The trouble, is course, is that I have to keep hiding it so that no one else uses it. I would, unfortunately, have to punch them in they eye if that were to happen. But look! Here! Oh my. I am truly weak with longing. I need – not want – NEED a Lamy fountain pen. And even more beauty abounds… 
Oh, so many colours. I do believe that my next novel will be weaved in Bleu Myosotis. *Sigh* Forget-Me-Not Blue. Heaven. The even betterer thing is that, after many swooning visits to this website over the past week, I have finally noticed that this oasis of writerly joy is only half an hour away from me. I’m weak, I tell you, weak. How funny that something so delicious was there all the time, I just never knew. So close, I could have reached out and touched it all along.
So… which colour are you?
