it's the little things
Dec. 4th, 2017 11:27 pmI had a Very Cranky Sort of Day today, mainly because I waited too long for the last person to rsvp to my vintage tea this weekend (are you coming or not? do I include you in the reservation? who knows!), and there were no reservations at either affordable place that serves tea in Center City today. GRUMP. (That girl is not going to be invited to any more things where I need a firm headcount. Buh-bye.) And then Paypal decided to continue sitting on my payment for the hat I bought last week on etsy for the tea. NO that's OKAY Paypal, "within 72 hours" is totally the same as 120 hours, that's cool. I DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE A VINTAGE TEA ANYWAY. *flounce*
But then I got a little package from Amazon on the front step (cue confusion: "I don't think I ordered anything...did I???"), that turned out to be some very pretty shimmery ink from my Christmas list! <3 Thank you,
chocolatepot ! Perfect timing.

It doesn't look like much in the bottle but I tested it out (with a couple splatters!), and it's a really pretty Christmas-y red with gold shimmer. It might be telling me to send out Christmas cards after all! ;) Although it definitely wants a broader nib than I usually use, to really show off the sparkle. (Gee, do I think I can bring myself to buy a cheap pen just for this ink? Yes. Yes I do.)
And Adrienne found a restaurant for our 8-person group, and etsy cancelled my hat transaction (so I could promptly buy it again WITHOUT PAYPAL, and they're really close to me geographically so I should still get it before Saturday), and I tried on my new Rago waist cincher that I got a couple days ago (can't have a proper 50s outfit without shapewear!), and it fits nicely! So...I am happy again.
(Except the non-responding girl is still on my shit list. Don't say you're coming and then when I ask everyone to confirm go MIA! Grrr.)
