I was at Walgreens last night writing a check.  As I always do, I took my Bullet Pen out of my purse and played with it a little before opening it up and using it.  I like to do that because I like to show it off and I like to savor the writing experience.

I started thinking about that as I was waiting for my receipt and it made me feel sad for all the people who can’t enjoy their pens.  Whether its letter writing or bill paying, there is so much more enjoyment when you are using a handsome, high quality writing implement.

I am making it my mission this Christmas to give my loved one’s the Fisher Pen experience.  I gave a few Space Pens last year and I am still being thanked.  I am excited this year because I can also choose from theHandmade Pens at Cyber Space Pens.  The Crushed Sunflower Shells Carbara is one that I become more fond of every time I look at it.  It has a masculine look to it, I can see my brother loving it.  It comes with the Triangular Maple Wood Box which serves as a holder as well as a display.  I will definitely have it engraved … I just haven’t figured out what to put on it yet.

I must be honest.  I am feeling a little conflicted about the new Handmade Pens at Cyber Space Pens.  Until my friend sent me the link, I never thought I would own a pen that wasn’t a Fisher Space Pen.  Yes, I realize most of them have the Fisher refills and I also realize that the fine people at Cyber Space Pens would never steer me in the direction of a writing instrument that is anything less than excellent.  I guess it’s not a bad thing to open my mind to new possibilities.

My favorite new possibility, the Ocean Current Ultra Cigar Pen, makes me sigh.  It’s just so pretty.  I didn’t even know what a cigar pen was until I saw it … and I thought I knew it all when it came to pens!  I am humbled.  The colors are rich and elegant yet at at the same time cheerful.  The gold and silver accents add to the overall classy look, and I find myself just staring at it. 

Yes, I think it’s okay for me to love this Handmade Pen.  I think even Paul C. Fisher would have wanted one, though I see him more as the Stabilized Buckeye Burl Executive type.
