11. I haven’t watched too many of your videos until recently when you post videos daily, and I have to say I love these conversational videos where you talk about yourself and your relationship with fountain pens, the good and the bad.
I really admire when people have the courage to quit the job they hate and start from scratch in a new field. It takes a special type of person, very strong! Most people don’t have what it takes. Good for you. In my country we say - better try and regret if it doesn’t work out than regret that you didn’t even try.
11 I really appreciate the candid nature of this video. I've been watching your channel on and off for the last 5-6 years or so. In fact, you're the one who introduced me to my favorite paper (Life Noble). If you ever decide to introduce book discussions/recommendations into your videos, I'd be down for that. I'm looking for anything that could be described as a literary fantasy. Keep up the good work!
Great video! You answered way more than I would! 😂. 11! Although I admit I always watch the full videos but in segments because I always get interrupted (work, home, calls, texts, etc). I hope that doesn’t throw off the algorithm. But that’s my life! You are a joy to watch and you taught me more than you’ll ever know. I can always count on your love for the Pilot 823! 😃 You’ve created a (happy) monster! Anyway - thanks again! God bless you and Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁 Be safe!
11.. nice honesty about the mortgage broker bit. Not a lot of people would take the high road, so kudos Kerry. I feel it's like one step up from scamming people along with estate agents. I grew up in the GTA and don't regret moving out of Canada about a decade ago. Lastly, longer videos are more engaging, in my opinion. I really dislike how my UA-cam app (premium) throws the shorts down my throat every time i load it up. It basically hides subscribed channels. 🤦🏻
11! Merry Christmas Kerry. Hopefully, 2025 finds you in a role that is rewarding and encouraging. Happy to be a Patreon supporter of your wonderful channel. And, hope your father's shoulder is fully healed now.
11. Cup of Tower of London tea, and thank you for doing these videos. i wish you the best in the new year! And lastly thank you for sharing what you did, but honestly the thought that people are asking you some on those questions is shocking and I am sorry that they do. We tune in to hear about pens & tea, not deeply personal information and one wonders how they would react is asked to post their own personal information online. ~le sigh~, anywhoozles, have a fantastic week and know that your videos always make me smile. With respect & admiration from Austin, TX. P.S. I thought Parker was short for Parker House Rolls 😂
8:51 I knew Parker wasn’t specifically named after the pen company but didn’t know how she got her name. Writer’s Blood is my favorite ink. Pilot Falcon (only gold nib), Benu Euphoria , TWSBI 580 , and Lamy AL Star or are my favorite pens.
11. Very interesting to see what you do from your perspective. I never gave much thought to whether or not fountain pen reviewers were paid, supposing they do it because they enjoy the inks/papers/pens universe and feel they have something to add to it (which many, though not all, do). It's also fascinating to discover how many things there are to learn about what is--once you absorb the physics of how ink is pulled through a feed, delivered to the tip of a nib and then metered to the surface of special paper--a fairly simple and straightforward technology. Among these additional things are what I think you contribute: aesthetics and emotions. How we feel about our pens, how they please our hands and eyes and sometimes hearts, and how these elements influence how we use them, just might be the most significant things of all.
11 I enjoyed this video and I am glad you shut down the annoying guy who kept asking about your job. I stopped reading the comments because of him. Happy Holidays and I’m sure you will land a job in the new year that will be a good fit for your skills and interests. I can tell you are a quick learner which is a huge plus for you. 😊
11! I love your channel and look forward to your videos. Thanks for having the guts to answer those personal questions… appreciate your candor and hard work! May your holidays be filled with love and happiness!
11 Thank you for your videos! I appreciate your honesty and interesting topics. I also think they involve hard work at your end and I hope they continue to bring you joy….because that is what you bring to me!🤗🥰
This was a very nice video! Thanks for answering some questions I had, but felt were too rude to ask 😇 I hope you will find a fantastic job, after these 2 crappy experiences. Also interesting to hear how income and UA-cam work. I don't understand why people would attack you about it. I just find it interesting and it gives some info in how we best help our favourite channels (like yours). Also, now your birthday is coming up, I'm curious to find out what pen you will be gifting yourself ❤️ (if any, of course) Have a wonderful Christmas 🎅
Merry Christmas and a Happy healthy new year! My wife and I were born on same day…January 15th…so looks like we’re in the 1-15 club, maybe the pen gene is linked to that day! My teas these days are Twinning’s Earl Gray and Korean brown rice green tea. My latest pen is a Pilot Custom 74, blue demo, M bought on your rec and I love it. BTW I bought from the Anderson Pen Shop which sadly, you may know, is closing this week. Question: have you ever been to the Vancouver Pen Shop? Cheers. 🎉
11!! I always assumed Parker was named to honour Spider-Man and now I feel a bit daft that I didn't assume it was a pen thing 🤣😂 I appreciate you sharing a little on how the backend of how UA-cam works because I don't follow a lot of people on UA-cam. Those that I do watch, I want to know the little things I can do to "help".
11. New to pens and have found your videos to be very helpful. Not pen related as I am a fellow fantasy reader and D&D player so videos on those topics would be fun to watch.
11. Hi Kerry. This might be the first comment I've left on your channel, which is surprising because I'm a chatter IRL, lol. I'm a relatively new pen person, just within the last couple of years, and your videos have helped me be an informed buyer; your Kaweco sport nib comparison and, although I haven't pulled the trigger yet, Pilot Custom 74 comparison vids of years past were two of the first I saved for reference. I've so far stuck to the under $100 threshold for a pen, and your recent video describing Lamys, TWSBIs, and Kawecos as "hard nails" set a light bulb off as to why, though perfectly functioning, I wondered why I hadn't yet felt the joy of a bouncy nib that you and others sing the praises of. Best of luck on your professional journey ahead along with continued nerdy and inky fun!
11! Love your content. Would love to see more stuff about DnD! I'm currently playing a Celestial Warlock in a Descent into Avernus campaign, and am about to start a character journal. Would love to hear what fun and interesting ways you incorporate your fountain pen hobby into the world of DnD, as well as other general DnD paraphernalia you enjoy! Tell us about your character or campaign. Your DM setup, if that's your role. Keep going!
PS: Tell us more about teas! We have a wonderful local tea parlor that has a tea called Lady Grey, which is my absolute FAVORITE. We have so much in common, I feel like you would absolutely be in the same friend circle as my wife and I IRL!
11. Thanks, Carrie. You've probably heard this many times but it's better to have another job lined up before you quit the job that you have. I've had a couple of jobs in my life that were so toxic that I just had to bail. So, I kinda understand both sides...
11 It must be difficult having ideas for new videos after so many years. thanks for your effort. I don't know if this helps but I truly liked your videos about journaling.
11 (+8)…. I would so buy a Dominant Industry ‘Parker the Cat’ ink…. Or maybe that’s up Lennon Toolbar’s alley. A collab with Benu would be insane in the membrane…. A Pens and Tea Talisman? Get outta here
Hey Carrie, I went back into education combined with part time work when my business suffered during lockdown. It's been great, rewarding and very busy! I'd definitely recommended it if you feel ready to learn. I would never have guessed the Spiderman connection 😀. Just a quick question, do you have a favourite Kaweco? Colour, nib size or material?
11. I find it so bizarre that strangers online feel entitled to people's personal information. I'm lucky that I have such a small presence that I rarely get harassed, though I have basically left instagram after getting some recently.
Kerri, ever consider working at Bleskett Pens in Brampton? If you live in West end of the GTA, consider working there for the time being. You definitely have the fountain pen knowledge, and have good retail presence from Apple, and your YT channel. Good Luck with your learning journey, and job search in 2025.
A video idea... if you could design a pen, body type, feneals rounded or flat, material, nibsize and nib material, color what would it be. 😊 Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤️
11, 20, 35, 60. I personally love long videos. But I‘m also following the channels quite closely that I love. So even if you would do a 60min video, I would watch it till the end.
Hope you get through current difficulties, and settle on your new direction. I'm long-term unemployed, and have been a number of times over decades (mainly medical reasons). I appreciate your content, and especially your answering questions you hadn't before (though, frankly, anyone who didn’t know you live in the Greater Trono Area isn’t much good at guessing accents 😂). And, btw, eleven.
Thanks Kerri. And I hope you find another source of income soon. Making UA-cam videos for 'a living' seems like a pretty hard gig. I tune in because I find your reviews of fountain pens honest; you're willing to declare BOTH the 'good' AND the 'bad'. And THAT most likely doesn't make 'sponsoring' from a fountain pen maker what they are looking for? However, it's what WE - your viewership - need. Merry Christmas, Kerri! I hope 2025 is a more profitable year for you.
Leaving a job for moral reasons sucks...but is so the right call. I left my first job because we all knew it was just a matter of time before there was another accident and people died. Fortunately, it didn't happen until long after I left. Unfortunately, years later, six people I knew fairly well got killed in an accident.
I have 2 tabby cat mastersnamed Loki and Sylvie because cats are gods of mischief. Sylvie is a year younger than Loki and bosses him around easily because he adores her.
Cheers to a fellow quitter!!! I feel so much better, hope you do too and all the best for Christmas and the new year job hussle! Parker from the thunderbirds supporting m'lady would have been good too? Btw all the way to the end, kind of rude not to... thank you for the content!
11, 12, 13......19 :) Love your videos! I am relatively new to your channel (6 months?) but have been watching every since! Happy Holidays! If you ever did a colab, I think a Benu Pen with hand painted Parker would be awesome! ;)
Have been wondering where you’ve been. Well surgery sucks but you said you are in good health so that’s good. Hope you heal well Maybe hitch up a sled on Ramsey and he can haul wood for you. Relax and enjoy kicking back and enjoying a drink Looking forward to future updates. Maybe a cooking show for a while. Or maybe inventive ways you come up with to entertain yourself during this no lifting chapter Merry Christmas happy new year. Nd all that stuff
11. Interesting video. Thanks for answering the questions. Only on rare occasions do I not watch until the end, but I will make a concerted effort to do so in the future based on your comments in this video.
If nobody else has told you today, yesterday, this week...you are enough. And here is some idea-rrhea for videos: - What pen would *fictional character from one of the books behind you* favour? - Can a fountain pen save your mental health? (Probably already done, but not for someone who sees it for the first time) - Is the filling system that important? - The supremacy of B5 notebooks(yes, this is purely self-serving) - What pen and ink would you use for your last will and testament? (aka "Last meal, ink-and-pen version") - I tried three (brands of) fountain pens from X country - When to give up on a nib(also purely self-serving) - When to give up on a brand(Yep) - Thematic ink-pen pairings(as opposed to this-pen-is-this-colour-so-the-ink-is-the-same) - Monthly fantasy pen(as in "a pen I can imagine", not "a pen that spits chain lightning and talks back when I try to write numbers"...although...) Feel utterly free to bin every single one of them. Merry Christmas and I hope all future viewers have enough common sense to know that wanting to know where a person lives and what they do does not mean they should ask, at least on the internet(and sometimes in real life).
11 I remember when you were still doing tea reviews. I miss those. I listen to your videos at least even if I don’t want to watch. I can’t afford Patreon right now, so I hope watching videos to the end helps.
I really appreciate your videos. A number of other wanna-be reviewers are too boring (their introversion is awkwardly painful to listen to); but you keep things fresh and interesting. 11 all the way to the end!
eleven? Hannah Horowitz, creator of the advice column "So Help Me, Hannah" and a genius about attention, retention, suspension, invention and more, will tell you this about that: "Kerri, the struggle is real. But the intelligence is artificial." What a genius she is, that Mrs. Horowitz! Isn't she? Sure she is.
What happens if you start watching a video, stop because you have to do something and re-start watching from where you left off a couple of hours later?
Eleven. 11? Does it take into account people who pause or jump around? Sometimes I go back to something that was earlier in a video and it remembers I was at that point. I wonder if it remembers I did watch the rest of it earlier.
11. I feel it is an unforgivable sin not to watch a video fully. If I may suggest video ideas: the `tea` part of Pens and Tea has been neglected for some time... maybe some tea videos? And there is a lot of books about fantasy litterateur in the background, that may be fun to cover, too.
11. I was wondering if you ever thought about looking for a job in the pen industry? I am not sure if Wonder Pens would be looking for someone who has video experience as well as retail experience.
🫀Thanks!
OMG thank you so much, I can’t believe your generosity!
Going back to school is always a great choice. An education is one thing nobody can ever take away from you.
11. I haven’t watched too many of your videos until recently when you post videos daily, and I have to say I love these conversational videos where you talk about yourself and your relationship with fountain pens, the good and the bad.
I really admire when people have the courage to quit the job they hate and start from scratch in a new field. It takes a special type of person, very strong! Most people don’t have what it takes.

Thank you! Yes, UA-cam is definitely pushing the shorts for sure!
11! Merry Christmas Kerry. Hopefully, 2025 finds you in a role that is rewarding and encouraging. Happy to be a Patreon supporter of your wonderful channel. And, hope your father's shoulder is fully healed now.

you re great! i admire your honesty! keep on good work!
11. My Pilot 823 is a favorite also, and I just got a Pilot Art Sport (with integrated clip) and I am liking it very much.
Which one? I was considering the pebble blue one (kaweco, right?)
11. Very interesting to see what you do from your perspective.

@@PensandTea LOL! Oh nooo, that would just be awful... /s
I hope you have a lovely Christmas- I love all the new vids!

This is a really great video. Thanks for sharing cool stuff about you!
11 If you went back to school, what would you major in? I majored in English, and you clearly have a passion for reading and writing.
Hope you get through current difficulties, and settle on your new direction. I'm long-term unemployed, and have been a number of times over decades (mainly medical reasons). I appreciate your content, and especially your answering questions you hadn't before (though, frankly, anyone who didn’t know you live in the Greater Trono Area isn’t much good at guessing accents 😂).

Yeah the accent is real hahaha
Thanks Kerri. And I hope you find another source of income soon. Making UA-cam videos for 'a living' seems like a pretty hard gig.

I hope 2025 is a more profitable year for you.
merry christmas!! loved the video.
11! I watch all of your videos until the end.
Can you do a video about your books behind you?
11 And through to the end!😁
DAANNNNNG..... I just wanted to know how old Parker was... geez Louise...did not expect all of that... but thanks for sharing.
😆😆😆 she’s 7
@PensandTea Thanks so much! Kerry
Leaving a job for moral reasons sucks...but is so the right call. I left my first job because we all knew it was just a matter of time before there was another accident and people died. Fortunately, it didn't happen until long after I left. Unfortunately, years later, six people I knew fairly well got killed in an accident.
😱
Ha! Aurora is also a fountain pen company lol 11
11. But my earliest Amazing Spider-Man comic book is Issue 3. I figured given the kitties name you might appreciate that tidbit.
I have 2 tabby cat mastersnamed Loki and Sylvie because cats are gods of mischief. Sylvie is a year younger than Loki and bosses him around easily because he adores her.
That’s so clever! Would be fitting for Parker, she’s getting up to no good these days lol
Cheers to a fellow quitter!!! I feel so much better, hope you do too and all the best for Christmas and the new year job hussle! Parker from the thunderbirds supporting m'lady would have been good too? Btw all the way to the end, kind of rude not to... thank you for the content!
11, 12, 13......19 :) Love your videos! I am relatively new to your channel (6 months?) but have been watching every since! Happy Holidays! If you ever did a colab, I think a Benu Pen with hand painted Parker would be awesome! ;)
Omg that would be amazing!
Have been wondering where you’ve been. Well surgery sucks but you said you are in good health so that’s good. Hope you heal well
Maybe hitch up a sled on Ramsey and he can haul wood for you.
Relax and enjoy kicking back and enjoying a drink
Looking forward to future updates. Maybe a cooking show for a while. Or maybe inventive ways you come up with to entertain yourself during this no lifting chapter
Merry Christmas happy new year. Nd all that stuff

Love your channel. Always got inspired. Merry Christmas!
11. Interesting video. Thanks for answering the questions. Only on rare occasions do I not watch until the end, but I will make a concerted effort to do so in the future based on your comments in this video.
Eleven (11) is a great character.
11 I always watch until the end. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too!
If nobody else has told you today, yesterday, this week...you are enough. And here is some idea-rrhea for videos:
- What pen would *fictional character from one of the books behind you* favour?
- Can a fountain pen save your mental health? (Probably already done, but not for someone who sees it for the first time)
- Is the filling system that important?
- The supremacy of B5 notebooks(yes, this is purely self-serving)
- What pen and ink would you use for your last will and testament? (aka "Last meal, ink-and-pen version")
- I tried three (brands of) fountain pens from X country
- When to give up on a nib(also purely self-serving)
- When to give up on a brand(Yep)
- Thematic ink-pen pairings(as opposed to this-pen-is-this-colour-so-the-ink-is-the-same)
- Monthly fantasy pen(as in "a pen I can imagine", not "a pen that spits chain lightning and talks back when I try to write numbers"...although...)
Feel utterly free to bin every single one of them.
Merry Christmas and I hope all future viewers have enough common sense to know that wanting to know where a person lives and what they do does not mean they should ask, at least on the internet(and sometimes in real life).
Thank you and Merry Christmas!
11 I remember when you were still doing tea reviews. I miss those. I listen to your videos at least even if I don’t want to watch. I can’t afford Patreon right now, so I hope watching videos to the end helps.
Thank you so much! That means a lot!
Sometimes working in regular retail and being able to sleep at night is a wise choice.
I really appreciate your videos. A number of other wanna-be reviewers are too boring (their introversion is awkwardly painful to listen to); but you keep things fresh and interesting. 11 all the way to the end!
11...always watch to the end
eleven? Hannah Horowitz, creator of the advice column "So Help Me, Hannah" and a genius about attention, retention, suspension, invention and more, will tell you this about that: "Kerri, the struggle is real. But the intelligence is artificial." What a genius she is, that Mrs. Horowitz! Isn't she? Sure she is.
11 - just joined Patreon !!!
Thank you so much!
11 I always love watching your videos and I always watch to the end.
Hello Carry, this is everyone. Great little channel you've got there. And by now we all know your name.
What happens if you start watching a video, stop because you have to do something and re-start watching from where you left off a couple of hours later?
I’m not actually sure lol I’ll have to look into that 😆
11. I really like your videos!
11. Merry Christmas!

Thank you, had a glass of organic red blend to enjoy during this video….
11! For the algorithm gods!
11. Really enjoy your videos.
Toron-o! I though your fav pen ink would be the 912 fa with James Purdy n sons or ginger chicken. Sam. Ofcourse writers blood!
19. If you were thinking of naming a cat Aurora after a superhero, when there is also a pen company named Aurora…
Meowery Christmas everyone! 😸
Have a great holiday!

11 5 years approx. I always watch the full video
Eleven. Great video!
Eleven. 11? Does it take into account people who pause or jump around? Sometimes I go back to something that was earlier in a video and it remembers I was at that point. I wonder if it remembers I did watch the rest of it earlier.
11 and to the end. x
We just settled on a name for our new cat - Nyx.
Hi 11 Malkuta from Latvia. Love your chanel.

🤔A "Pens & Tea" Fountain Pen? iiiiiiih.
11. Going to the end.
11. I feel it is an unforgivable sin not to watch a video fully.
If I may suggest video ideas: the `tea` part of Pens and Tea has been neglected for some time... maybe some tea videos?
And there is a lot of books about fantasy litterateur in the background, that may be fun to cover, too.

11. I was wondering if you ever thought about looking for a job in the pen industry? I am not sure if Wonder Pens would be looking for someone who has video experience as well as retail experience.
It’s a great idea but they’re almost 1.5 hours away via transit from me
Oh, right. By the way #11.
