I went to high school in the 70's and a bunch of us carried fountain pens- we literally didn't have backpacks then, we hand carried our books with the fountain pen clipped to our notebook- we thought it was normal then but as I look back I guess I was pretty cool 😂 Fast forward to today, I have about 12 fountain pens and counting and can't imagine not using them. and the inks? back in the day, there was only blue and black but now?? Wow!!! Happy New Year! Charmaine!!! ✨
If you want to try Sailor at a more affordable price I recommend Sailor Lacoule. It's a lot more affordable and looks similarish. The writing experience is great (not as smooth as a gold nib though, but still amazing). I think it's the best fountain pen under 60€ on yhe market and it's a great introduction to the brand 😊
You can contact Ellington pens and let them know whats happening with your pen. They want to have everyone have a good writing experience so it might be worth shooting an email off
I L💖VE your collection! I ordered the white pearl capless after watching! I have the lavender one & love it. I have a few other vanishing points on my list! I have the same $40.00 Sailor pen and I actually writes well. I wasn’t fond of it at first, but after using it awhile I do like it now. It fits great in my A6 Gillio zip cloud Appunto and looks so pretty together! This hobby is very addictive! The pens, the inks. I just started 9 mos. ago and am enjoying it so much! I get great ideas from your videos. How awesome it is that you’ve been gifted pens! You deserve them because your videos are interesting and I’m sure they get business from you! Enjoy the perks! ☺️
Came across your videos.. love your collections. I just bought my first Kaweco sport fountain pen.. got a good deal on Amazon. Frosted blush pitaya in fine nib with the the clip.
I have quite a few Kaweco Sports as well. I think I got my first one (and first ever fountain pen) in April, the Iridescent Pearl. Love them! I have extra fine and fine. I have a couple of the ALs and about 4 of the plastic bodies and use all of them all the time. I've had my eye on quite a few others, including the Iced Caramel Latte and have been watching for the restock.I've looked at the Sailors as well. For Christmas, my husband (knowing nothing about the planner/fountain pen community) got me a Cross Bontanica Daylily fountain pen. It's a fine point, but it writes so thick! I like it, but like you, I use a Weeks, and a Moleskine to journal so I have to be very careful about where I use it. I've found it works well with a sticky-note system I use for work, so that's where I will probably use it the majority of the time. I was hoping to find a Lamy in that color, but didn't know it had been a past limited edition. Guess I don't need that one! 🤣 And just Friday I got my Jet Pens order with a Kakuno fine and one in extra fine. They're cheap, but I love them and they're so fun with the smiley face on the nib. I got one for my 7-year-old granddaughter so we can have "twin" pens! Your collection is beautiful! So many pretty pens! Thank you for sharing!
I love how your fountain pen collection looks so far 😍🖊 The way you have them displayed looks so gorgeous ❤ I absolutely love it. I did enjoy watching all the videos of each of those pens from last year. I can’t wait to watch the upcoming videos from your channel for the new year! 🤗❤️
I enjoyed watching this. Thanks for sharing. Video suggestion: can you share info about your Nesspresso Coffee machine? Why did you get that brand and model? What are its pro’s? Do you like the coffee capsules they sell ? Which ones your favourite? What other products you get from Nesspresso that u love and recommend?
Great suggestion! I'm no pro and just did some research through youtube. I might casually just mention somethings in a future video but I don't know I'll do a full on review.
Happy New Year 🎉 wishing you many blessings! Also, perfect video while I journal ❤ I will always be saying thank you for inspiring me back into journaling. Cannot wait to see my Stalogy finished!
Hello Charmaine. New subscriber. Wonderful collection. I just got my first kaweco fountain pen cyan blue. With royal blue ink. Next i really want get lavender and mint kaweco fountain pens 😀
Happy new year!! I love all of the pens. It's been so much watching you five in to this adventure this last year. Esterbrook has some gorgeous ones as well.
Hi friend and Happy New🧡!!! I don't use or collect fountain pens, but from your collection I see why you have a lot Sailor Pens. They're really gorgeous looking pens....but that's unfortunate that the Ellington Pen leaked, it's so pretty. Great video Char!! You have an awesome collection, thank you so much for sharing darling ❤️. Take care and have a lovely day 🤗💖.
Thank you for this gorgeous video❤❤❤ I am new to your channel and might have missed it, but do you mind sharing info on the pen that the case resembles clouds? It is the one next to the illustrator. I was looking at it all the time and am really thinking of checking it out.
I bought a cheaper one from amazon it worked for the first use now it doesn't flow anymore i tried to clean it out and still the flow doesn't work can you please show us how to clean the ink out as you mentioned earlier in your video so I can see if I inked it properly
My sailor pens are very scratchy it has put me off buying anymore, I love my TWSBIs, Lamy and Kaweco's. I have just realised how many fountain pens I have but I really love them, Platinum 3776 is such a beautiful writer mine is medium and wow ita smooth.. I have Visconti Van Gogh Starry Night with a medium and that one is the one I wanted from the very beginning and I saved like crazy for it. I have reached another milestone that being Lamy 2000 and Pilot Vanishing Point/Capless they are amazing...
Hi! Such an inspiring video. I got the Ellington right away while keep watching. I am curious about that beautiful pink pencase, where can I find it? //Maria
Love your collection! Now I have to put the Laban flora on my wishlist. Sooo pretty. I think Platinum pens are underrated in the fountain pen community for sure.
So many questions -where did you find the dragon place Sailor for $80?? I'm looking to get my first Sailor this year and I've seen prices range from 220-236 (the colors I have my eyes on 👀). Also, do you find the MF nib comparable to the Kaweco in EF? I really like how my Kaweco EF writes in my Hobonichi weeks! Thank you ☺️
Love the video and your taste in Pens and ink. Yes I highly recommend Esterbrook! I went to Atlas Stationers during their “takeover” weeks and Esterbrook happened to be there. I was able to buy one of their Esties… 2 weeks later I bought two more Esties online! They are wet writers so definitely get EF for those!

I'm obsessed with fountain pens. I recently bought one and I use it for everything
Yayyyy aren’t they so fun?! Makes you wanna keep writing 🥰
Beautiful collection, just stunning! I really like how you put the fancy clips on the Kaweco sport collection pens, very clever! Happy new year! 🎉
Thank you thank you!!!

Thank you and yayyyy!!! You can do it hehe 😍✨ I love me some sailor
