little purple flowers and pen nibs

April 17, 2008 | Filed Under vintage, musings | by Sarah Blank |

…and ships on cigar boxes and the sea. Everything is so incredibly lush! Little purple flowers were the perfect backdrop to my old cigar box stashed with pen nibs from decades ago. I have been writing and sketching lots in my journal. The feel of the nib running over the smooth surface of the watercolor paper is sooo addicting! Just a few more days til I have some time off, my birthday and a much needed visit to the seashore and more walks in the woods…perfect timing as spring is in full bloom.

Those make me want to bring out my calligraphy pens and start writing away. Beautiful spring image :) Glad to see you back!

yes, me too, and the ship is perfect and dreamy!
I do not, however, like to smoke cigars. Very icky.
