it’s a sign

When I was looking for another of my photos from London last year I stumbled over this. These signs were not posted at the lion’s, as one might think; they were posted at the quarters of cute animals like otters to remind people that cuteness doesn’t  necessary implicate tameness and wanting to be fondled by strangers. I  love this sign. I’d like to have it in my purse and bring it out when it is called for.

The nib is the main reason to use a fountain pen. No other writing tool is as personal and has such a character as a fountain pen nib and they are beautiful too. Here are some of my faves.
