( I had an image of John Cena from the Oscars ceremony as the Link Love featured image but I was worried that Getty Images would sue me for usage rights so envision Cena holding up the envelope with “Link Love” printed on it. Funny, right?) I confess I was too busy knitting with my…

Link Love: Lamy’s Inky Drama
