This post was scheduled for next week, but since I hope to start a series of posts on the pens that I own, I thought that I should put this one up first.
The photos were actually hard work. Whew! The notebooks were the hardest, just when I thought I had them all in the photo I realized that I missed some and had to do it again (and again and again).
Pens, pens and more pens (43, currently) - there are ten more "office" pens not in the picture
Bottled inks and supplies (31 bottles)
Ink Samples from FPN trades (44 sample vials)
And then there are notebooks too (37 of those)

What a fantastic collection, thanks for sharing. I thought I had a few FPs till I saw this! :) I love your display of all the inks you own.
Ah, the hobby, it does get out of hand...
I am so enamored of how organized your ink samples are!!
This is wonderful Okami. I love seeing collections like this and wish I could go out and expand mine. Thanks for sharing. Nr
I love the drawer your inks are in! Very nice notebooks too!
I'm also interested to know how well the plastic bottles work for ink storage. Thanks Nr
The drawers that hold the inks came from Target, if anyone is interested.
The small vials are used for ink trades at the Fountain Pen Network, they probably hold enough ink for 3-4 fills. So far they have been great, no issues. You do have to be careful to make sure that the caps are on tight.
I'm interested in the very topmost notebook. Could we get a closer look? Where did you get it?

Jay, that topmost notebook is an Exacompta Nostalgie - I've had it for at least 10 years, you can see here http://www.exaclair.com/catalogs/22_23.html
it's always such a relief to find people with worse addictions than my own.

wow pens galore !!! what do you reccomend ? in the way of pens I mean .
Phonelady - if you are a fountain pen newbie, you can't go wrong with a Lamy Safari. They are inexpensive and durable. I have two and another on the way.
