Stationery/Art

• Rori has done a great video with some recommendations for fountain pen inks for newbies. 
• I love George's blog: My Supply Room. I think the "I am run my own pen store and I am my only customer" is hilarious. I especially enjoy this droolicious picture of his Parker Jotters! What a rainbow.
• A very enjoyable handwritten review of the A.G. Spalding & Bros mini fountain pen.
• Well, this counts as art. Does anyone else remember watching Bob Ross?? I loved it. It blows me away how artists know how to use their tools and media! Anyway, this is... a combination of that, and some tunes.
• Great sketches you must look at.
• Collapsible leaves plant sculptures at Colossal.
• Waterbrush wonderfulness at Daisy Yellow.

Food

• Lavender lemon sugar cookies. I tried a lavender lemon (shortbread) cookie at Whole Foods a few months ago and they were awesome, so now I really want to try these sugar cookies! Yum! Why can't sugar rip fat off your body? Wouldn't that be perfect?

DIY

• DIY friendship bracelets. I remember making these when I was younger. Good times.

Photography

• I've never been to Paris but I did enjoy this stop motion video of it! Neat.

Animals

• I wasn't sure whether this would go under animals or stationery, but because there are pictures of gorgeous Akitas, let's go with animals. I very much enjoyed reading about Julie's other passion! Pens and pets all the way!!
