I'm like you, the tortoise shell wouldn't have been my first choice of materials, but after seeing it up close with all the different inks, it's definitely a pen finish I'll consider in the future. 😀
Now I know what pen I’m going to look for at the St. Louis Pen show! ☺️ This is such an awesome surprise gift, and I imagine now everyone is going to be making an extra effort to be helpful in comments. 😁🧡
I am so happy for you Kristen, you deserve it! I recently got the estie in tortoise but with palladium trim (all my esties have palladium) and I am still in the process of gradually inking it with each of my (many) brown inks. Lie de The was the first ink I put in mine but it is possibly my favourite brown.
Oh my, what a generous gift from Esterbrook!! I've always loved the Tortoise. Those blotting papers are gorgeous. I wouldn't want to use them to blot ink; they would look lovely framed.
Loved your rection to the fountain pen box. Made me giggle so much! I wouldn't have been able to resist. That box would have been opened first in my hands. Your restraint of saving it to the end is admirable.
I just got my first Estie for my birthday last month, my mom picked it out for me. She chose the sea glass color because of our memories of going hunting for sea glass together. It's such an amazing pen and seeing this makes me thrilled to support such a considerate and kind company. Congrats on the pen! Your joy is palpable and it's great to see.
This couldn't have happened to a lovelier person! You have been spreading kindness all over the internets. Now I gotta go put that tortoise pen rest and blotter paper on my list!
I love to see your helpfulness and kindness rewarded many fold! Well done, Esterbrook 👏🏼 Your Patience Tortoise was like, 'Nope 3 pens is my max load' 😂
Aww how lovely ❤❤❤ Esterbrook is out of my price range, maybe one day I'll find one for a good price second hand 😅 I really enjoy the new thumbnails on your vids.
🎉🎉🎉 so excited for you! This whole video makes me happy! I have this Estie and the brown almost leans burgundy, so I put diamine writer’s blood in it and it was a great combo with the journaler nib.
Oh wow these are great! I just love turtles and I think I will have to get the pen rest and the blotter papers. This was such a nice gesture from Esterbrook.
congratulations Kristen 😊 It is so good to see kindness ackowledged, especially with the state of the world today. And what a lovely surprise! I don't have an Estie, I need to find one on special. I do have a long wish list of them though 🫠🌻😃
That is fantastic! Congratulations! It just goes to show being kind is the better way to be.
Yes, exactly! Thanks for watching, Shauna!

Blotter paper is a game changer! How nice of them that’s beautiful! I don’t do manifesting, but I would put Bible verses in there.😊

So cool!
Aww I'm so excited for you, that's amazing 🐢

Thank you for your kind words! Yes, definitely keep an eye out on social media (and in person at pen shows) for a good price.

Oooo that sounds soooo good! I'll have to consider that sometime. Thanks for watching!
Wow! I don't know what question you answered but you won the Grand Prize!
LOL yes, that's how it feels!

Wonderful surprise!! Thank you for sharing ;) I love the cat cards and how you showcased the pen against the samples... awesome viewing.
