  • 50ml plastic bottle of Robert Oster Shake 'N' Shimmy shimmer fountain pen ink in the color Rose Gold Antiqua - a dark rose ink with added gold shimmer. Robert Oster Signature Inks are handmade in Australia. The recyclable PET bottles are manufactured in Australia's first carbon neutral plastics plant. Note: Robert Oster is in the process of changing the labels on their bottle and the label on the bottle you receive may vary from what is pictured here. Due to the amount of particulate in this ink used to achieve the sparking look, you may experience restricted ink flow in some of your pens.

One of my very favorite artists, @emily_jeffords, has started a monthly fine art collectors club by mail. June is my first month and it is focused on finding inner peace and the value of a life full of pleasure. 

For $12 a month, it includes beautiful artwork titled “When She Smiles”, a letter full of thoughts, a touch of perfume of the month to inspire your senses, affirmation or poetry of the month, and a curated music playlist. One day, I have a dream to actually own an original piece but for now these small prints will do. 

I framed this month’s artwork and took it to work to join the other framed pieces I have in my cubicle. Why have an ugly cubicle?

It's been said I'm a little bit country and a little bit rock 'n roll. Read More…
