Not Just For The Pen

 The old saying goes that “they just don’t make things like they used to” and that is certainly true when it comes to having the convenience of a BIC ink pen to write with and one that comes in different colors, too.  Imagine times before all of the electronic gizmos and social media when somebody actually took time to sit down and write a letter using a pen and fountain ink.  Those times were not that long ago either.  My goodness, how things change so quickly! The antique “Fountain Pen Ink” bottle was a little find last month and I just love the shape of it and the writing along the base.  These little vessels are great for holding a single fresh cut flower, or in my case, a paper one made from vintage sheet music.  Tomorrow I’ll pick some fresh flowers to fill up several little jars around the house.  Fresh cut roses sure add cottage charm to the house and smell wonderful, too.

Enjoy your day everyone!
