Hi Jayne, so sorry to hear about Simon. Healing thoughts and best wishes on the way! Congrats on your new acquisitions, they are all just stunning and you most certainly deserve it! Take care my friend ❤
@@Tina.Journals hi Tina, thank you 🙏🏻 Hoping that he will start improving soon. The new pens feel so indulgent but I know I will use them and enjoy them. Thank you so much for watching my friend. I have written you a letter but now think I need to write you another one to go along with it 😂 Take care and have a wonderful week 😊
@@jppenandink Take all the time you need with letter-writing. I can truly understand how circumstances can shift priorities...💓 Oh and I forgot, a BIG congrats to your son!!
congratulations to your son on his graduation and speedy recovery to your husband!! i love those beautiful envelopes. not my monkeys, not my circus is one of my favorite quotes of sarcasm. congrats on your new pens…they’re all stunning. they’re sure to get good use as much as you write. ENJOY!! ❤
@@tilliet00 hi Tillie, thank you for your congratulations to Oscar and your kind thoughts for Simon 🙏🏻 I feel so fortunate to have added these pens to my collection, they are all beautiful to write with! Thank you so much for watching, I hope you are doing well 🥰
@@karengaston6080 hi lovely, thank you for joining me 😊 I’m sure you noticed some familiar pens today, thank you for putting them on my radar! I hope you have a wonderful weekend my friend 😊
Thinking about you and your family. I’m in recovery mode too after an accident. I’ve struggled with how to ink my pens. I hadn’t thought about using cartridges - great idea! That will make me able to add a few pens to my rotation this month until I am more mobile. Thanks for the video.
@@FranM6179 I’m so sorry to hear that Fran. Yes try cartridges for the time being until you feel well enough to ink up your pens. Thinking of you and sending you love. Hope you feel better soon 🥰
I’m still watching hehe commenting as I go along, so I don’t forget…. the custom by Just Turnings is gorgeous! Also you said it just as I thought it about how the Birmingham Pen Co inks flow so well. I have one TWSBI and it’s been inked a few times and it hasn’t been until Robert Oster Romeo and Juliet that I can say I want to reach for it all the time. I find it so fascinating how different inks can make or break the experience of a pen for me…
@@suista hi Suzanne, 💯 the way an ink flows in a pen can change the whole writing experience. Earlier in my pen journey I didn’t understand this as much. Now days I persevere a bit more with an ink or pen until I find a good pairing that works well. Thank you so much for watching lovely, enjoy the rest of your weekend 😊
@@sushanart hi Susanne, I agree with you the inlay nibs are gorgeous, kind of give pens those vintage vibes, same with the Pilot E95s. The MB Baby is gorgeous and absolutely wonderful to write with. Has exceeded my expectations and they were quite high to begin with. Thank you so much for watching. I hope you have a wonderful week 😊
Hello Jayne & Happy Fountain Pen Day! Congratulations on all your beautiful new fountain pens & the first thing I noticed on your thumbnail was the MB baby of course as that’s on my wish list 😍 & wishing your husband a speedy recovery 🤍🖋️🤍🖋️🤍🖋️🤍
@@tracey2477 hello lovely, thank you so much for watching and for your kind thoughts re Simon. It’s going to be a long recovery ❤️🩹 Yes the MB Baby is my favourite, such a special little pen and writes beautifully! I hope you have a wonderful weekend my friend 😊
@@sarahsarahkk thank you for your kind words Sarah 🙏🏻 Yes I’m sure things will start looking up. Thank you for watching lovely, I hope you have a wonderful weekend 😊
Oh Jayne, I’m so sorry to hear you’ve had even more worries. 😔 There’s a Dutch saying for days like these…but not really appropriate here..I’ll tell you when I next see you. Sending big inky, paper hugs. Have checked my bell 🔔 status too..had a few issues lately. 😘💕Louise
@@coffeeteapaper hello lovely, thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to watch my video. I keep hanging onto the thought that it could have been so much worse! I still owe you a letter and have started preparing some mail for you. I hope to get it out next week. Take care my friend, enjoy the rest of your weekend 😊
I hope things calm down for you guys soon! Amazing new pens you got there! I was trying to think of what I would do if I unexpectedly had the funds and I'm drawing a complete blank!
Very sorry about your husband. Happy to hear he’s on the mend. I love my MB baby! Just a great and interesting pen. On some pens I wait for a show to try out. Sometimes they don’t work for me. Great mine up!
@@fountainpensinksmore3290 hi Jane, thank you so much for watching and for your kind message for hubby. It’s going to be a long recovery, probably looking at 12 months or so. It could be worse. You are so right, I’m glad I had the opportunity to try the pens first and hold them in my hand before committing to them. Take care my friend and have a wonderful weekend 😊
@@ziawoolzstudiobuzz313 hi Dag, thank you for your kind thoughts. It’s going to be a long recovery, but am grateful because I know it could have been much worse. I feel like sometimes in life things happen to give you perspective. Thank you so much for watching my friend, I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend 😊
I love the sound of rain, I heard the pattering before it started to pour down. I’m so glad you have a wonderful community around you for these last few months. Glad to hear Simon is on the mend. Praying for his full recovery.
@@tawallah77 thank you for your kind words lovely 🙏🏻 I’m glad you heard the rain, I find it quite soothing. Thank you for being here, I hope you have a wonderful weekend 😊
I'm glad your husband is getting better. I hope it continues to go smoothly. I have the Jane Austen MB and it is quite a large, hefty pen. I have larger hands and prefer bigger pens. Anyway, I wondered if you'd seen the Retro 51 Pride and Prejudice fountain pen and rollerball that came out a couple of weeks ago. Their fountain pens tend to run slimmer and smaller. I am not sure it would have the same meaning for you, since it's not directly Jane Austen, but thought I'd mention it.
@@Quiney08 hi Corinne, thank you so much for watching and for your kind thoughts re my husband. I hadn’t heard about the Retro 51 Pride & Prejudice pen, I’ll have to take a look at it. Thank you for putting it on my radar. Yes I thought the Jane Austen pen had beautiful details, I loved the colours of it, the writing on the cream/ivory part of it, the way the gold cord tied around the cap, but it was just wasn’t for me. It wasn’t even so much the size of the pen but more the weight of it I guess. I’m glad you are enjoying yours though 😊 Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
morning my friend. All the best to you and fam, especially hubby. 34:00 - I have also learned what I like now with pens and inks. I've been more intentional with my pen interests now. I hope to make a major purchase (not sure what) one of these days. But I have seen some delicious pens that people have shown. I do like that lil creme MontBlanc you have, it's kinda cute. 😁💜
Goodmorning Rob, thank you for being here and for your kind message for Simon. Yes big pen purchases take a lot of thought, and I don’t think I would drop this kind of money on a pen if I hadn’t tried it first, just because I want to make extra sure that it’s right for me etc. What may work for one may not necessarily work for someone else. So much variety out there. Haven’t a great weekend my friend 😊
@@hiltonprice2625 that’s what I thought, did I write/say 14? Apologies, all over the shop at the moment 😕 Thank you so much for watching, have a great weekend 😊
@@FountainPenNews hi Wendi Sue, yes I’m glad I actually got to hold it in my hand first before committing to buy it. Enjoy the rest of your weekend lovely and thank you so much for watching 😊
and I’m done and will stop clogging up the comments section 😂 I hope you get so much joy with your new pens, you certainly deserve it after the couple of months you have had xx
i’m sorry for your loss and i hope your husband’s recovery is as smooth as possible! your new pens are lovely, i’m glad you were able to treat yourself :) take care Jayne!
@@autisticbucky hello Bucky, thank you so much for being here and for your kind words. It feels so indulgent to have such pens but I know I will treasure them and use them. Take care and have a wonderful weekend 😊
Jayne, thank you for taking the time to make the video. It sounds like you've had a hectic, and somewhat worrying time of late. It's good to hear that Simon is OK. Some fun times ahead now No. 2 soon has finished his exams. The tax man can be generous, especially when it's your money 😆. I agree about the "Jane Austen" pen. I tried Karen's Jane Austin at the recent peen meet-up; a beautiful pen but weighty. I also tried her "Baby" out a while ago and feel in love with the nib. How do you find the Sailor MF nib on your PG Mini? Mine is closer to an EF. Good idea keeping things simple.
@@raybuck hi Ray, thank you for being here and watching and for your kind thoughts regarding Simon, it’s going to be a long recovery I think! Yes the MB Baby is such a beautiful little pen, wonderful writer. I got mine with a medium nib and do not regret it. The Jane Austen, although lovely, was just not for me and I’m glad that I got to see it in person before committing to such a big purchase. The Sailor nibs run incredibly fine. You are right in saying that the medium fine is more like a western extra fine. I do like their nibs though, great for writing in small spaces like the Hobonichi. I received your letter on Friday so will try and get one out to you next week. Take care my friend and enjoy the rest of your weekend 😊
@@jessicaburris629 hi Jessica, I think that’s an excellent idea! Will see how I go with it, but already having hard starts so may need to empty and refill. Thank you so much for watching, I hope you have a wonderful weekend 😊
I would love to see during part of the video, all of the pens laid out, like you do in the thumbnail. Also, to hold each pen in your hand for a little more time before writing. Just a thought
@@impish22 thank you Marie for your feedback and for watching. I will definitely take that on board. My thoughts were very scattered at the time with a lot going on so I definitely wasn’t at my best. I hope you have a wonderful weekend 😊
