Riveting! Not least because you have a husband that embraces fountain pens. I count myself lucky that my wife tolerates them. I, for my part, tolerate helping her in the yard. ... That said, what a pen! And, what lovely handwriting you demonstrate. A blessing on all your joys!
Hahaha! The last bit about the yard made me laugh! 😁Thank you for watching and for sharing in my delight! Yes, I am very blessed for my husband in so many ways. He did tell me, however, that he got off a lot cheaper buying the pen since he didn't have to pay for a new ring! Smart man! Happy wife, happy life!
What a lovely way to gift and receive anniversary gifts. The pen is gorgeous and you perfectly displayed the colors and angelic glisten with the natural sunlight. I so enjoy the immediate gratification of the perfect nib experience on paper. Thanks for sharing this beauty!
Marcy... I don't know if you and I can be friends. I am sorry for enabling your pen addiction! LOL! By the way, I've been checking out your recommendations, like Atlas Stationers, etc. A good way for me to go might be to make a list of the ones I would like to save up for. Otherwise, I will need to take another job! Hahaha 😍
@@KitchenCounterCrafts I’m so glad we share the same problem. We can lean on each other because we understand. As for enabling, today I blame you. I can take the blame on another day when I share another pen 🖊️❤️
@@impish22 that’s wonderful to support makers and artists! Live TWSBI- no matter which one it is! I just bought a TWSBI GO & Swipe! I’ll be doing a review shortly! Do you have either one?
@@tbayless8324 TWSBI is nice also but more entry level. FC is more of a mid-level, I would say! BTW, if you buy 49 Franklin Christoph pens, they make you a custom one for your 50th! For real… 😮
I love FC's Cathedral pattern. Definitely looking into getting the model 46 pen with the entire pen body in the Cathedral acrylic. It's positively hypnotizing.
The full cathedral is so beautiful!!! Those colors are vibrant and look like a kaleidoscope together! I hope you will love it! What nib are you planning on?
@@acrophobe That was kind of a trick question because all their nibs are amazing! 🤩 I tested most of them at the Dallas Pen show last year. I’m hoping to go this year and do a video on all of them. Do you have a pen show near you? If not, the other great thing is that you can order something different and not break the bank! So great!
@@KitchenCounterCrafts I only have one. It is a model 02 Intrinsic in the "gold rising" color. It has a gold fine SIG nib. It is ultra smooth, and it feels great in hand. Nice design.
@@tmwtpbrent14 Gold with gold! Sounds beautiful!🤩 the SIG nib is incredible too! It’s on my list to get next! I have a few nibs from FC that I love. Right now, I have the flex EF Franklin Christoph nib on my Opus Omar. I did a video on it if you’d like to check it out! Trying out a FLEX Nib on my Opus Omar! ua-cam.com/video/iX7YvUMvnFA/v-deo.html
You guys are sweet! Sharing in the same hobby is a great way to celebrate anniversaries. Have you tried the other nibs yet? I have one of their broad SIG nibs, and of all the nibs I've tried (steel or gold), that one's my favorite.
Thank you for making me smile!😊 sharing this hobby is fun but can break the bank quickly if we both have our eyes on a grail pen! 😆 We’re learning to set a budget around it so we can keep it in check. However, it’s great to know what the other person wants for birthdays and anniversaries…Christmas, valentines… let’s see, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, hang Hallmark holiday! On the nibs, I have tried the EF SIG & F that my husband has. I’ve tried ALL their nibs at the Dallas Pen Show (that was a doozy- to sit down with all their amazing nib choices)!!! If you can make it to Dallas in the Fall for the show, let me know!!!
@@KitchenCounterCrafts I'm not from the US, unfortunately, but wow, what I wouldn't give to sit down at their booth in a pen show! I'll give them this, too: their price for international shipping is fair. If you spend $100, they'll take care of shipping.
@@stephenbaluran3298 WOW!!! Didn’t know that about their international shipping policy! That’s another $20-25 savings easily! I know this is a long way off but I’m hoping to make a video at their booth, testing out each nib. I wish I would’ve done that last year but I was like a kid in the candy store and was super distracted!!!!😍
@@impish22 goodness! Yes! I’ve been looking at the Montegrappa Elmo but not sure! I’ve also been checking out inks (especially sheening ones) and papers. I’m curious about what deals there will be, especially so close to Black Friday 🤷🏽♀️How about you?

wow, gorgeous pen !!
@@impish22 thank you! How have you been? What pens have you been using/buying/looking at?
I just bought a small maker pen from Bonecrusher studios and I love it. Also, just ordered the new TWSBI Sky Blue
@@impish22 that’s wonderful to support makers and artists! Live TWSBI- no matter which one it is! I just bought a TWSBI GO & Swipe! I’ll be doing a review shortly!
Do you have either one?
That is gorgeous! I am headed that way. I got one lined out. Might buy one at the pen show or Black Friday.
Do it!!! I love this pen!!! It’s in my top list!
@@KitchenCounterCrafts I am I was about to buy a Twsbi..but this would be a better and classy choice looking at the 31 copper
@@tbayless8324 TWSBI is nice also but more entry level. FC is more of a mid-level, I would say! BTW, if you buy 49 Franklin Christoph pens, they make you a custom one for your 50th! For real… 😮
@@KitchenCounterCrafts hmm..And what number are you on ma'am. Thanks for the information you have on these. I am going for a broad nib

@@KitchenCounterCrafts Im thinking of the steel fine or medium, possibly upgrading to a gold nib later

@@KitchenCounterCrafts Their line of inks are very good too.
@@tmwtpbrent14 I’ve just started dabbling in their inks! Just what I needed 😆
Pretty! Happy Anniversary!
I want to learn how to do stained glass now - this pen makes me want to look at it in the sunshine.🌞
@@KitchenCounterCrafts I've made faux stained glass using glass paints & rubber paint "leading."
Very very nice enjoy!!

The company’s name is spelled Christoph. Thought you’d like to make the correction.
Thank you for pointing that out - I am correcting that now! I appreciate you!!!
Do you have your eye on anything for Fountain pen Day?
