As hurricane Irma left her mark on Florida we were blessed with no damage and only a little cleanup. That allowed me to follow through with plans to attend the Mid Ohio Valley Pen Gathering in Belpre, OH last weekend where I was gifted one of Marla Christensen's pheasant feather blanks from The Classic Nib. I paired the blank with a Gold / Gunmetal Elegant Monarch from Signature Pen Supply and ended up with a new favorite. Maria's feather blanks are stinkin' awesome!!! C&C welcome.
