Happy Wednesday! Today I am sharing what is on my work desk with you. You may remember when I shared my desk last week my pen pal letters were under way. Well, this week I decided to start working on bookmarks for my fountain pen pen pals. I thought they would be fun to tuck into letters as a surprise.
Stampers Anonymous has a great stamp set with fountain pen related images and old cursive handwriting images, etc. I thought they would be perfect for this gang of letter writers. I used my archival black ink and plenty of Distress Inks. Only one is done so far, but it was a lot of fun to make.

Finished bookmark:
The metal nib is from Tim Holtz and I think it was a fun embellishment. The seam binding was stamped with a fun swirl image from the set as well.
Thank you, Julia, for the desk hopping fun! If you haven't joined in, you might give it a go as the sharing of desks is fun, you learn a lot and the friendships made are priceless.
I am looking forward to visiting with you today!
Until next time!

Winnie, I love all that ephemera stuff and have a good selection of those kind of stamps too. I wish my desk looked as creative :)
I love anything with calligraphy, somehow it always manages to fascinate me! Nice job! Patsy from

The book marks are a nice idea and this one is perfect for a pen pal.
Really nice idea. I have to keep an eye out for those bookmark sleeves.
