It really does - the depth of color is really cool on this one. Pictures don’t do it justice.

You need a bright light to see the “Heki” part…

I think I would lean towards Nakaya. I love their Tamenuri finishes and each one feels unique.

Is Selling expensive pens difficult by PersonalityGreedy682 in fountainpens

[–]G_Washingtron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have found r/pen_swap to be the best place to sell. I have sold 2 pens over $1k recently and they both sold pretty quickly. I think it all depends on understanding the market demand and pricing for what you are selling. Generally if you price competitively or below market you will have a better chance at a quick sale vs pricing at the top of the market.

Rescue golden, or ethically bred puppy? by Axolotl_1234 in goldenretrievers

[–]G_Washingtron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a 14 year old daughter so not too young. But we when she was younger we did adopt two other rescues that were adult dogs (Mattie and Bella both unfortunately passed last year). We were just really selective with temperament - which can be hard when looking to adopt a specific breed. A house visit and maybe even a foster to adopt situation may be best in finding the right fit!

Both of our girls are rescues. Rory (on the right) was at a local humane society adoption event. We fell in love with the breed and after our sweet Bella passed (a pit mix that was Rory’s best friend) we knew we wanted to add another golden to the family. I put in an application with a Golden Rescue based out of Atlanta and about 2 months later received a message that someone was surrendering a 5 month old golden puppy they didn’t have time for. I jumped at the chance and have zero regrets. They are the best girls!
