Stationery

I have an intense love for stationery.
It's what inspires me to write, even when there's nothing important to say.
Soft parchment with a creamy color begs for a maroon fountain pen that strips words of structure and builds them back up;
psit sound ment arch sild again, lovingly venning down the page in spires and ioneries...
a computer leaves so much to be desired; there's a slowness to writing that note-taking and quick-thinking strip from the art and simplify into typing.
and thus it is that I choose the most antiquated-looking of backgrounds for my blog, as it reminds me of stationery.
If you ever want to an anonymous love-gift for me, please find me hand-made paper and a high-quality fountain pen and set me up with a larger Bibliophile's Dictionary than I already have.  I know one exists out there.  And a book of fonts.  Beautiful and edgy fonts.
Oh, and get me a tree book.  Seriously.  Trees are awesome.
