I am also on the other site - but have added this site to my links and will try to check in often.

Welcome to you Julie.  Do you have a preference for make or era of pen?

I like any FP with an italic nib. 

Right now I'm on an Esterbrook kick (1 J, 1 Dollar and 2 Pastel Purse Pens)  but I own both vintage and modern pens.

3-P51s, 3-P45s, 1-P75, Visconti Van Gogh, Taccia Stacatto, Stipula Vedo, Sailor 1911, Pelikan M205 and M200, MontBlanc Meisterstuck 12, a Mentmore "46", CS12, a "found" Sheaffer, the obliatory Waterman Phileas (a gift),  a couple of Levengers...ashamed  guess I'd better stop - I have 40.  I know that is not close to the number of a true collector, but I like to use them and I'm starting to find it hard to give them all the amount of time that they deserve.giggle.gif

You could say that I'm well, a FP addict - if they are pretty and I like the way they write, I'll keep and use them - daily.  I'm not an "investor".  I'm a CPA and I'm pretty sure that there are better ways to invest my money - I do this for love.  I just like the "pretty pens" no.gif  I'm a true believer in the Retro 51 slogan - Life's too short to carry an Ugly Pen!

We live in a small town called Parrish, northeast of Bradenton-Sarasota, southeast of Tampa.  We've been here about 20 years.  Just us and our Akitas.

Yes, it is easy to get addicted to FP collecting, isn't it?  You start with one nice pen, then start digging further and further until you either run out of money, or find yourself in therapy biggrin
