...this pen-thusiast took a trip to? Head on over to Quo Vadis Blog and find out here!
While I was there I picked up this beautiful little pot for only a couple of pounds.
It was hidden in among a display of bric-a-brac in the tearoom, which is run by volunteers, proceeds from the sale of these items goes towards the building's running costs.
As far as I can tell, the pot is made of steel and is approx 73mm in diameter by 50mm deep, making it the ideal thing to hold all those loose ink cartridges I seem to have lying around. It has a soft, fuzzy black lining, which suggests I am not using it for its originally intended purpose, though I have no idea what that purpose is - answers on a postcard please...
All I do know is that it was cheap, ideally suited to life as an ink cartridge pot, and the proceeds from the sale went to a good cause.
Thanks to Leah and Karen for featuring my trip in their blog's 'Where To Go' spot.

Thanks Jackie! As soon as I saw it I thought I could see potential. I like that it's really sturdy and looks like it should last a lifetime, the ideal thing to keep my cartridges safe.
