ABC WEDNESDAY LETTER " I "
I found this vintage ink bottle and ink pens at an historic home located at Lake Tahoe last month.
One interesting thing to me was the day and date on the old non-working clock on the desk.
What a perfect setup for ABC Wednesday and the letter I.
Please visit all the others who are posting their letter I's. You can find them by going to Mrs. Nesbitts link on my sidebar.
To see the detail just click on the photo.
Thanks for looking.

visit my ABC
It looked beautiful and reminded me about old days...
Nice post. I've never used an ink pen, but it would be cool to try one
Ink! Of course. This is definitely reminiscent of my early school days and ink stains on my fingers.
This brings back memories of my first years as a teacher in 1958. My pupils had to write with pen and ink, and that caused sometimes some minor problems, like spilling ink on clothes or breaking a pen.
Ah INTRIGUING! I remember learning how to write with ink by using a nib pen like those and dipping it into the ink well.
Oh sheesh! am I giving away my age? lol
A good photograph of a good choice.
Very cleaver blog, I would never has thought of this for a blog.
Thank you for you comments
Hey, it's not Wednesday yet : ). How come everyone is starting all ready? I can't think of an I picture for the life of me.
What a wonderful find; I too remember using ink and pens at school.
Like crazy cath a good choice for us bloggers.
Nice posting, I never used an old fashioned ink pen. I probably would have made a mess. Have a great ABC Wednesday.
oh wow... a friend of mine would surely want to have a collection like that, too!
My "I" picture is posted here. Happy Wednesday!
Very Vintage! Nice "I" post.
Such a fantastic and powerful photo!
What a great picture and perfect composition....
Love old ink bottles and pens.
Old things bring so many beautiful memories. Great choise for letter "I".
rien de plus beau qu'une lettre écrite avec un stylo à plume, c'est magique. Superbe
nothing more beautiful than a letter written with a ink pens, it's magic. Superb
So great choise for the I.
I enjoyed it:)
I remember, when we had to write with those! Many times bottles fell down and oh, that mess then!
But what a pleasure, when letters came beautifully on a paper.
Fine photo about old and important things!
so long time to see something like this
lovely. :)
This is neat, don't you just love old ink bottles. Thanks for having visited my ink also.

It is indeed a beautiful set up for ABC letter. As I can see the ink bottle and ink pens bring back memories to many of your blogging friends. I too remember using ink pens at school although it was with patrons filled with ink. I really liked to write with ink pen because my letters looked like more beautiful.
My brother-in-law collects antique ink bottles - I wish I had thought of them before posting my road sign 'I'
A wonderful "I" pick for ABC Wed.
When I was in grade school (a million years ago) we still had those old desks with the empty hole for the ink bottle... Had there actually been a bottle of ink I'm pretty sure any girl with pig-tails in the next desk forward would have gotten her pigtails dipped...
Wonderful, old vintage bottles.
Thanks so much.

I remember ink wells such as this, I have a few pens with the old style nibs... I have also made pens from goose feathers using these nibs. All write very well. I enjoyed thinking back to y childhood with this 'I' post..
Thankyou.

Nice vintage arrangement. I really like this.
I love that old ink bottle! But I do have a think for old glass, particularly pressed glass, for some reason. I think it's just that it was mostly used for everyday objects. I like to think of my old glass as being in daily use by people who could have been my ancestors!
What a perfect find for today! This is lovely.
Fabulous! Love the vintage ink bottle and pens - and you're correct - the clock was a perfect background for ABC Wednesday.
Thanks for visiting my site and for your comments!
Beautiful post. I'm always drawn to ink and pens; this was a great choice for today. Thanks for the memories.
Oh, this is a fabulous shot!
I really like the look of this. I love stuff like this.
Oooo... I would love to get my hands on those pens... I love doing fancy writings!!
Very nice post!!
