A Reader Question: Hand written letters? Fountain pens?
A question from a reader:
Hi Muffy,
May I ask a question which I hope is pertinent to the blog.
Do people, other than me, use fountain pens? My father gave me my first fountain pen when I was eleven years old and I've used one ever since. I always carry one to appointments in case I need to sign my name and at home I use one exclusively as I did when I was working prior to retirement. Obviously most correspondence is by email nowadays, but I still prefer sending hand written notes and letters.
Am I alone in this?
Kind regards

Reader Question: Favorite Outfit When the Temperature Reaches 90+? (repost)
From a Reader:
I have a question for this intelligent community. When the temperature reaches 90++++ what is your favorite outfit? I prefer white and creme linen and cotton with flip flops and a straw hat. I'm wondering if both males and females have other useful suggestions. Hats and foot gear suggestions appreciated! Love the warmth but enjoy being comfortable

L.L. Bean Catalog, 1994
I had scanned in some pages from a 1994 L.L. Bean catalog that was hidden in our bookcase a handful of years back. And as I came across these scans today, I thought it might be interesting to see if any of the items from 32 years ago were still as good today. I grabbed some links of the same, or similar, items for comparison.
