I just bought the most beautiful pen for my shop: it's an Italian pewter-handled quill, with a pointing hand as a nib. It was $20 at Barnes & Noble. I've been eyeing it for days.

I also bought a set of Windsor & Newton inks on sale in an art shop in London. I must have known, somehow. It's just that I cannot STAND when you go to create this whole atmosphere in a shop: period instruments and clothes and all, then whip out a Bic to write someone up. I'm going to do the best I can this year.

That sounds like a beautiful pen, I'd love to see what it can do (nudge,hint,wink)!

Ha! Yes, at last I have a pen that would do you justice.

Can I convince you to come see it?

Sounds pretty spiffy :) It's nice to see at least one person at Faire try to set the mood a little more with the simple things we tend to ignore. Speaking of which...I have a solution for those unbearable August days: hire a few men to stand about in loincloths and fan you with those big fans on a pole. I'm sure you could find a few volunteers...and if they're sexy enough you'll have half the women in the shire in your shop :)

Speaking of the shop....are you stil in the tent or did you finally gt something a little more permanent/sturdy?

Heh. Oh, a little less sturdy, actually. You haven't been reading, have you?

No, I haven't :( I've not posted or read anything on LJ in about 2 months. :/

Your place is gonna kick royal ass!

I like Quinn's idea with the men in loin cloth. ;-)

Did you find your roses yet? I looked at Lowes, but nothing that would suit you could be found.
