❥ About me
Hello! I'm Addie and I have been interested in fountain pens since my first pen - a rOtring Art Pen - that I bought in 1992. My collection has grown slightly since then and I recently got especially interested in flex fountain pens and interacting with the fountain pen community as a whole!
