Congratulations on your new pen! And what's great about it is you can match it with almost any ink!

[@gailsbookishthings5191]

Thank you! I agree! There are so many possibilities for coordinating inks with the pen.

Beautiful and stylish acrylics and pen. I haven’t purchased an Esterbrook yet. I wish I had years ago. It’s on my list. Cheers

It's so pretty , it's like a small bouquet for your hands ! Love the pics from the garden especially the field of daisies near the end and the Dale Chihuly glass art exhibit !!

[@gailsbookishthings5191]

There are several sculptures throughout the garden of his for this special event, as well as permanent ones which first arrived in 2003😀 . Feel free to come visit and I will take you there. (The ferns made me think of you yesterday!) The flowers at the end are my favorites too…they were like all my favorite colors in one place. And thanks…I really liked the blend of colors present in this pen.

@@gailsbookishthings5191 I've seen Chihuly here in NY and also Arizona. I'm sure there are dozens of other walks, shops and road trips we could take though 🧡💛

Congratulations on your new pen! I love the pictures of the MO Botanical Gardens. The Chihuly exhibit is amazing! We’re members, and spend so much time there. We even got married in the Japanese Gardens. So magical. Happy to see that you got to enjoy the exhibit ❤

[@gailsbookishthings5191]

That’s really fun! We had our engagement pictures taken there forever ago!

@@gailsbookishthings5191 I love to hear it. In my opinion, you cannot take a bad picture there!

Congratulations on your anniversary celebration with such a gorgeous pen! I rooting for the Yama Budo ink, hoping to see some sheen with that amazing Broad nib. I love the floral intro you used in this video. Thanks for sharing.

[@gailsbookishthings5191]

I’m glad your favorite ink choice won out. 😄 And thanks for the congratulations. Our actual anniversary is August 27 but aim super glad he didn’t make me wait until then to use the pen. 😁

Stunning Pen. I was rooting for Yama-Buda. I hope you love it as much as I do my new Esterbrook. So special that it is same name as the Botanical Garden in STL.

[@gailsbookishthings5191]

That does make it special…I’ve loved being at MOBOT for years. Have you been there? Come back and we can visit it together! ☺️
