hmm... so it's been a while. i guess i've been too busy reading. it's also been hot out, so not many pictures taken outside for me to share, it's like winter, but the opposite. you want to stay inside to keep out of the heat, and stay nice and cool in the expensive air conditioning. so, not much to tell here, yet.
we're going to be doing a good bit of traveling at the end of the year. spending a week in san francisco, well I'll be there for 4 days. ryan will be at a conference for a few days before i arrive. it'll be my first time flying alone, and i'm trying to imagine that it will go flawlessly. kids do it all the time, right? right? but i think it'll be a really awesome trip and our first real, by ourselves, with nothing to do but be tourists, trip since our honeymoon. we're considering renting an apartment for the days we're there. it's actually a better deal than a hotel room. then in december, we'll be visiting our families in florida for christmas. just for a few days, but it's better than not seeing them at all.
hope everyone is getting that wonderful feeling that fall is creeping up. i cannot wait.

I'm really excited about these. I found them yesterday at a thrift store. They are vintage (60's) panda fountain pens, made in China. One of the best things about them was the fact that they're in their original packaging. 
Each one is in it's own little plastic container. After researching, I found that you dip the pen in your ink, and squeeze the clear plastic sac until it fills with ink. Pretty awesome.
I'm so glad I found these. I will probably put them up for sale in my etsy supply shop soon, but I just couldn't wait to share. I've still got to decide how much to sell them for, since they're kind of valuable. I found one here with a starting bid of $15.00. Crazy! I think these could make some really unique gifts or favors.
