Diamine Fountain Pen Bottled Ink, 80ml - Mediterranean Blue
Oct 23, 2019
Good quality, but not as saturated as the samples indicate
There's a lot of ink for the money, so if you like the color, Diamine inks seem like a good value. The color of the Mediterranean Blue isn't as saturated as I expected, and it seems to be more prone to feathering than some other inks. It's a bit too bright to use for business, but I rather expected that would be the case. I just wanted a decent everyday blue that has a touch of green in it, darker than a turquoise, but still saturated. This is very close when it's wet, but when it dries the intensity fades to a more washed-out color. It's still a good quality ink, but it won't be my go-to everyday blue.
They're Sony coin cells...what's not to like? Price-wise, this deal is great. Shipping was fast too; I received the item early—one day before the promised arrival date. I'll buy these again when I need CR2032 button cells.
St. Dalfour-Black Raspberry Conserves, Pack of 6 ( 10 oz bottles )
Oct 13, 2020
Real fruit, loaded with flavor
I've been fan of St. Dalfour Fruit Conserves for many years. This review is for the Black Raspberry Conserves 6-pack, which is probably my favorite. I've tried most of them, and they're all excellent; loaded with real fruit flavor — not just bland sweetness, but genuine fruit. There are real black raspberries in there. Same for the Blueberry Conserves, and the Raspberry, and...well, all of them, really. Be sure to stir it well before you dig in; the fruit does tend to rise to the top.
If you want to taste real fruit, this is the stuff to get.
