About a year or so ago I began searching for a very specific pencil for Sophie. I talked about it at great length here.
Well… sometime last year I got an email from Russell at Nota-Bene saying that the Lamy ABC was discontinued but he told me about a different pencil, that was similar, but not the Lamy ABC. I was interested… but for whatever reason I didn’t buy it.
This evening I received another email from Russell explaining that he had recently gone to Europe and had seen the 3.15mm pencil that I had originally wanted and thinking of me bought all the ones he could find. Can you believe it?
I’ve ordered 2. I may order more.
Oh, and if you didn’t link across to my old post about the 3.15mm pencil… if I had ordered it from Skripta-Paris (in France) it would’ve been about $65-70 what with all the shipping. From Nota-Bene it’ll be somewhere around $35.
I haven’t told Sophie yet… I think I’m going to wait and let it be a surprise

That’s great that you found the pencils. I’m actually pretty fussy about the kind of pens I use and the color of ink. I don’t write much with pencils. Emily and I both have a thing for office supplies. She’s fussy about pencils because of her art work.

I’m super fussy about my pens! Jim just got me a Pelikan 600 that is fast becoming my most favorite writing instrument EVER! I love inks too, and I’m rapidly amassing an admirable ink collection
Sophie will most likely use her new pencils for drawing and sketching too. They shipped out yesterday, so hopefully they’ll be here soon!
