Loved seeing the Iris postcard. I recognize it from the Flower Fairies book series I had when I was a kid. They're lovely. Imogen might enjoy the books too.
Hello HJ. Great video. Especially love seeing all the different journals. They were quite unique choices. One of my favorites for letter writing is from Amalfi. Their deckled paper is just so elegant. Have you seen this brand? They are out of Italy. Thanks for staying up so late to share your finds with us.
I have waited several days debating whether to comment. I have been subscriber to your channel for quite some time. I think I started back when you had less than 3,000 subscribers. I have always enjoyed your style and content. I appreciated that you said " there were no gatekeepers." I'm 77 years old retired and living on a fixed income. My wife is in a memory care unit with dementia. I am not mentioning this looking for sympathy, I realize my situation mirrors too many other families. I find pens a welcome diversion. Since my budget is limited, I don't often purchase more expensive pens. I do own a few upscale pens, (Pilot 74, Pelikan M200 for example, upscale for me). However, I tend to purchase more less expensive pens, many from China. I purchase a profile I like and that has been reviewed as a good writer and well made. The pens I purchase that I enjoy, regardless the source, I don't consider as garbage. Complaints about the Jinhao 80 being an unfair rendition of the Lamy 2000 as an example have been mentioned. As most have said, this is from initial viewing. There are many differences between the two once examined. I feel copying a popular pen profile is not a new or Chinese practice. For instance how many brands have pen that harkens to the Parker Duofold. I just wanted to get this off my chest. I still enjoy your channel and it is my go-to site for info about pens. Keep up the good work!! Thanks
I have only been watching you from January, when I rediscovered fountain pens after over 50 years yes I am that old! You bring a lovely enthusiasm to the hobby. Please continue young lady!
Sorry, a week behind in comments, I did watch in real time, but that was after getting home from a Thur-Mon night stay in hospital! Just skimmed the transcript to refresh my memory. A great stream as always, even though I was a bit out of it. Enjoyed several parts, but will only comment on one. Thank you for your forth right candor re: pen copy’s, clones, fakes. Well said and I agree. In recent months it seems to me that some reviewer seem to be bending over backwards to not step on the Chinese copiers and even feature them in their reviews. I do not watch nor subscribe to those channels. Nuff said on this point for now. - you said it all and well thank you. I look forward to more Italian B-roll as it appears over time. Now on to last Thursday’s M1000/M800 quandary, looking forward to it and commenting.
I haven’t worn a Tuttle neck since the 1980’s. The turtle neck looks fantastic on you. I’m enjoying hearing about your trip & the stationary you picked up. Thanks again. Dave ☕️☕️
Wonderful video HJ! Loved all the Journals but really loved the one from Scriba ( and yes, that turtle neck is becoming… almost James Bond-esque!). Thank you for sharing your travels and all your treasures- I find that I always learn something coming out of your videos…keep traveling up that road.. we’re there with you!
You are very welcome! Thank you for watching and for the kind words! I appreciate it. I’ve always liked Turtlenecks and I think it’s my look for this Winter. Thanks!
I love the journal! I would love it because I love art! It looks like it would be inspiring ! This show has inspired me to get some new journals to add to my collection. Move over Galen!
Thank you so much! It was a great trip. I ran out of time. I’m thinking of hopping back on, maybe over the weekend for an informal expansion of this episode. What do you think?
@@HemingwayJones Yes please!! An hour is definitely too short to talk about such an amazing trip. I think we would all love to hear more about Italy through your eyes, as well as what Helen and Imogen loved about the trip. I'd love to see the tarot deck that Helen acquired too.
Thanks Hemingway, so glad you enjoyed your trip. I'm in love with this Florentine journal and would love to have one of my own. Love that the contents are so PreRaphaelite and 19th century.
Thank you! The link to their website is in the description. A quick check didn’t show that one, but you could try contacting them for one. I wish I had bought two!
Welcome back! Venice is such a great city with so much history. And I don’t wait in line either. Especially for food. Time is too precious Murano is gone?!? That’s such a loss. I have a glass dip pen from them
Hi, Murano isn’t gone. Don’t worry. It’s fine. My favorite stationery shop is gone and replaced with a Murano Glass shop. Murano itself is fine. Thanks!
I really enjoyed the Digital Dark Age video. I thought it was very interesting. The turtleneck looks great btw. And merino is such a wonderful fiber that I really like knitting with. Thanks for sharing your stationary from Italy. I'm really looking forward to the promised b roll of Italy though.
"Fiorenza" is old Italian for "Firenze"; it was "Florentia" in Latin. Example from Dante: "Godi, Fiorenza, poi che se’ sì grande, che per mare e per terra batti l’ali, e per lo ’nferno tuo nome si spande." (yes, is sad. many small shops closing here..)
Thanks for this. I thought it was something along those lines. It’s a shame that the more artisanal shops are closing and being replaced with high end luxury brands.
@@HemingwayJonesthanks for your absolutely delightful videos ... yes, the shops closing here are very sad...everything disappearing, like ghost towns ..
Enjoyed your review of your Italy trip very much. I have a friend going in April and was looking for shopping suggestions for pens and journals for her. I've been watching your channel for a few months now and find much pleasure in them. I also like your library, partly because I have several of the same titles in mine, not all read yet. At 74-years old I don't have the same pen budget as you but was heartened to hear you also buy pens under $150. I generally stay under $100, my most recent a Monteverde Ritma with medium nib which writes very smoothly. Congrats on your weight loss and improved health. I've lost 70 pounds since January with the Mounjaro injections and am feeling much better. Only 110 to go.
I loved your Digital Dark Ages episode, but I'm also fascinated by things like that. I thought it was insightful and an excellent adjunct subject to stationery. 45:32 absolutely beautiful!
Thank you!!!!! No one got that reference! I appreciate it so so much! I love throwing out Easter Eggs and many get missed entirely. Gold Star to you!!!!
Yeah, whoo, that panic stuff. It is hard to know what has subconsciously programmed us. Like that sudden epiphany, we can have sudden panic. Most programs have an organized outlet, but some are dysfunctional. Read a story recently where a young Surveyor just passed out cold on occasion. Turns out the trigger was the word 'mountain'. He had somehow gotten hypnotized to react poorly to that word. We are all subconsciously programmed in many ways; When their is a glitch, finding, remembering, and understanding our triggers can be challenging. (Freud) Or, conversely providing counter suggestions and self observations are used to extinguish the behavior without understanding (Skinner) are employed. Sometimes they just give meds till the patient shuts up (American).
I'm really sorry for missing out on the digital darkage video, completely fled my mind. I put it on my "watch later"-list, but then forgot about it. Really like that kind of stuff: We heroic knights (and ladies!) of the "inked sword" fighting our way through the apple farm. You love parrots? Then you would like it in Mannheim and Heidelberg... There are swarms of collared parakeet flying around here, which are so numerous that they darken the sun! Sometimes a group of them sits in a tree, bending it's branches to breaking point. (Because it just can't support the weight of 3 tons of birds.) You don't see any foliage, just birds. Even if the MB was an unexpected purchase, I'm totally with you there. At the end of a life we tend to regret the things we passed on more, than the things we did. I love the store of signum, firenze. Sadly, I wasn't there for some 30 years, last time was, when I was still studying at tech-school.
Thank you My Friend for the kind comment. I hope you like that video. I do like Parrots, but I recognize that they are noisy! It’s charming when you see them occasionally. Thanks for the support of the MB Wes Anderson. Thanks!
The heavily illustrated journal would give me pause in selecting the nib tip. For the small spaces, a F one or an VF would be the choice and the color of the ink would have to be complementary to the hues or a hue in the drawing. Ah, careful, slower cursive would have to be engaged. The spine/binding on the second simply sang with gravitas. The third seemed to call out for philosophical musings of import. To use any other writing instrument than a fountain pen in them would be sacrilege.
24:36 I have the same thoughts about Chinese pens. I don’t own any. You’re increasing my resolve. I have only entry level and next level pens (most expensive is a Pilot Falcon), and I’m happy.
Thanks so much! I’ve taken some heat for this, but I am defending the designers, the creators from intellectual theft. It’s best to be happy with modest pens. So many great options there!
@ yes! While I’d love to have a vintage flex pen or perhaps a Pilot FA, Magna Carta, or Montblanc, I enjoy my TWSBI 580, Lamy Safari/AL Star, and Benu Euphoria as well as my Falcon.
I 100% agree with your comments about replica pens. I have no interest in them - it’s terrible to piggy-back off the success of a brand (any brand) to make a dollar.
1. Have you been to Syracuse? It's the last remaining place on my Italy list. 2. WES Anderson? Give me Paul Thomas! 3. I caught Covid on a flight home from Dubrovnik (via Ankara).

"I'm not going to get involved with politics" "It's absolute garbage guys, I don't care how well it writes. It's void of content, character, and honesty. It's just a fake louis vuitton bag, on a blanket at a train station". You lasted 20 minutes :D
Hi. That’s not for political reasons. This is philosophical. I have issues with Chinese manufacturing, their treatment of the environment, etc. But that was not what I was speaking about. Perhaps I will at a future time. That would fall within the purvey of this Channel. What I am speaking about here is that any product that is a copy of another is a counterfeit, is dishonest, and a mere shadow of the original. I think that a copy of an expensive pen is like a cheap copy of an expensive bag or watch. I think that is an important distinction, My Friend.
I think three people do now! Still, It’s a LIVE Stream and that’s about average and I need the time for Set up and final Check. (For all the good it did for me last night!)
Glad you got to go to Italy, but this is one video that was boring AF. I usually enjoy your videos but this one bored me to tears. Looking forward to some that will be more exciting.
Thanks so much for watching. Since you’re a regular viewer, which part didn’t you like? Was it the stationery show and tell? The rants against Chinese Pens? This is actually doing better than my usual LIVE videos, considerably, but I always love the contrarians, considering myself to be one. So kindly let me know and thanks for being a regular viewer.
@@HemingwayJones Thanks for responding. I can't put my finger on any one thing, mayb e it was the stationery/journals segment. Keep up the good work. Italy is my bucket list country to get to, I love all things Italian.
Never thought of listing every place I went every day, but the idea appeals. Usually, I just get back at the end of the day and jot down a summary. Fun seeing your haul. Note from Imogen -- 🥲
@@HemingwayJones Yes, she is the ap.ple of her Daddy's eye. Feel the same way about my granddaughter (2-1/2). A contradictory note: I love my Chinese pens. Have a great weekend.
What an absolute delight of a person you are. Thank you for a very kind shout out ❤
You are absolutely welcome!
Loved seeing the Iris postcard. I recognize it from the Flower Fairies book series I had when I was a kid. They're lovely. Imogen might enjoy the books too.
I bought that for her because of the “I” for Imogen. I’ll track down the book as well. Thanks!
*replay* Would LOVE to see the tarot cards! AND I love the stationary you were able to pick up!
Thank you! I’m thinking about how I can make that happen thank you!

I don’t wait in line often and I never wait in line to pay people money.
Exactly!
Hey Tim, love the haul and love the Seiko watch
The Arnie! I was feeling tactical. I always feel like John Wick when I wear a turtleneck. SNJ025 really works with it.
I love the journal! I would love it because I love art! It looks like it would be inspiring ! This show has inspired me to get some new journals to add to my collection. Move over Galen!
Thanks very much! There are some wonderful things out there.
Thanks! Such fun! Looking forward to more. 😊
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your trip! I hope you'll tell us more... what beautiful journals! I'm looking forward to seeing the Elf pen next year.

Another reason to go there! Thanks.
I absolutely loved the digital dark ages video. It is much more serious of a problem than you even skimmed on. Sorry it didn't do well.

The migration into Stuart Smalley is no longer dismissible.
I missed this. What does that refer to?
I hope you filmed a bit while you were there, and we'll see a few clips in future videos?
As Number Two said, “That would be telling!” ;-) (You know me.)
Thanks for the show! That sound is a device trying to connect as a camera or mic. You can turn it off in settings.
Sadly I can’t. It just doesn’t anyway because eCamm is garbage.
1. Have you been to Syracuse? It's the last remaining place on my Italy list.
2. WES Anderson? Give me Paul Thomas!
3. I caught Covid on a flight home from Dubrovnik (via Ankara).
I haven’t been to Syracuse, not even in NY! Paul Thomas would be cool as well. Robert Eggers! That would be something. The details would be perfect.
What?!?!? I thought Digital Dark Age was great! Don't feel bad about it!
Thanks so much! It’s just sad that it is my least viewed video ever.
I liked it, too.
another fan...
I watched the Digital Dark Age, with great interest.
Thank you!!!!
Good for you! Why stand in line to spend your money? It goes fast enough anyway.
