Throwback Thursday: TWSBI Diamond 580 - Orange + KWZ IG Turquoise

It's the first day of September and unofficially the end of summer.  For me it's been a busy summer with work.  But it's also been a great summer spending time with the family and working on the blog.  For this Throwback Thursday I'm taking a look at a pen and ink combination that I used for my Currentedly Ink in July.

Throwback Thursday: Quick Look at Lamy Studio Wild Rubin + Diamine Chocolate Brown

I love ink and I love chocolate. So, Diamine Chocolate Brown is right up my alley. Too bad it doesn't smell like chocolate. I have no idea if it tastes like chocolate. Unlike [Azizah][0], I have no appetite for tasting ink.

Throwback Thursday: First Look at TWSBI Diamond 580 - Orange + Sailor Oku Yama

Yes, I realize that this post is going up on Saturday afternoon in my place of the world.  In other places, it's already Sunday.  I had the post written up Wednesday night but didn't manage to post it before I headed to a full day meeting on Thursday, followed by a flight.  Friday was a recovery day.

Since I have TWSBI 580 in my line up this month, I thought it would be fun to look at the first time I inked it up.

Throwback Thursday: First Impressions of Noodlers Neponset + J. Herbin Stormy Grey

As I'm writing this post I see in my Twitter feed the news of the most recent J. Herbin 1670 ink Caroube de Chypre which looks very intriguing.  The timing is purely coincidental as I had planned for this Throwback Thursday for some time now.

Now, as for this Throwback Thursday...it was literally a very brief first impressions post.
