So I finally got a little luck in my life. Thanks to one of the manufacturers we deal with at work I ended up actually winning a $50 gift card. Instead of paying a bill or part of a bill I have decided to take this found money and get me something finally. The bills can wait they are not due for 2 weeks anyway.
I was checking out the reference page on pens and inks I also checked out some of the vendors that support/ get supported through the site. I think I will be using Goulet Pen Company for my purchase. Here is what I came up with and why I picked them.
Lamy Safari: basically I like the way it looks, decent reviews about it and fits kinda in my budget.
Diamine Oxblood ink: Red is my favorite colour and I really like the review I seen and how the colour looks. Although i will eventually add a blue/ black or something similar. Ok let's face it I have a thing for colours and pens so a rainbow of colours will be in my future.
Clairfontaine Clothbound Notebook - Red (of course), mostly for doodling and practicing to use the pen.
Yes a little out of my budget but a friend said they would cover the little extra difference. So what do you think about my choices? Any changes that you would make or suggest? Maybe something I may have missed in the reference page? I really am into the way something looks I'm into more modern/ artsy products.
