Welcome to Birth of a Notion a blog that has a smattering of life but mostly a blog about the art of all things Letter writing. Fountain pens, Fine stationery (oh my favorite) and things pen pal related. You can check the blog wrap and the section that says We Support for Letter writing clubs and more information on all things letter.

Heads or Tails Tuesday #23

TAILS - "List 3"

Make any kind of post listing 3 things from any category you choose.

Three things list, well considering the disarray of my thoughts today and well over all this weekend I think that could be tough. However, because I am on a fountain pen kick and enjoying re-discovering my love of these pens and the fine paper that goes with them I think I will address that. Three of my favorite fine writing papers.

First, my favorite is G.Lalo Verge De France paper. I LOVE this paper I truly do there is just something fantastic about it. The paper is not as smooth as Clairefontaine but it has a fantastic handmade feeling to it. I love the way my fountain pens move over this paper.




Second favorite was mentioned above Clairefontaine I just got my first tablets of this paper and it is the Triomphe stationery. Talk about SMOOTH. This paper is like rubbing silk. And writing on it too. Very nice. And well. I am not all over about everything French but I tell you what they know how to make fine paper…and fine ink.




Finally yet importantly on my list of three papers I love is the Crane’s Crest papers. I have two kinds 100% Cotton and 25% Cotton and I love both of them. They take ink very well and throw off a lovely color from all my inks. I am currently writing a letter on the Moonstone Grey they have and using my Violette Pensee color ink and it looks very nice. I just LOVE good paper.

There is certainly something special about fountain pens. I'm sure those fine papers really enhance the experience.

I just can't imagine paper being as 'fine as silk'...my whole paper wardrobe consists of note paper from the dollar store and 3 ring notebook paper.

Mine this week is ALL IN THE FAMILY for me.

Have a great Tuesday.
