Love your choice of ink colors for August Erin.😊🎉❤

The Sailor Kitsume Biyori is interesting. I added it to my ink watch list. Thanks for the video

great collection

Loved the cat “sighting!” After 2 years of retirement I’m starting a part time (12 hrs/wk) teaching job this week. My planning is changing a little as a result. Have a good start to your year!

Thanks for the video Erin! If you take frozen berries and blend them with a non-dairy chocolate milk (oat, almond, etc.) to an ice cream consistency, it makes a nice treat. Maybe not as healthy as you were looking for, but healthier than ice cream I think.

The sound was good, no I wouldn’t have known you had a different system until you said so. Requesting a pinky brown and olive green inks.

@faithandfountainpens you were right, dusted truffle is similar to sandstone!! Love these comparisons Erin!!

Sound was good. Some videos I’ve heard a background static sound, but not in this one. I agree about music not being necessary. The pepper “pizza” sounds like something I would do. I experiment a lot with cauliflower and zucchini taking the place of crust or pasta.

Love them all!!! I think the quality sounds good Erin. I couldn’t tell the difference. Both sound good. I am now hoarding my sandstone because they still haven’t brought it back in stock. I inked up like three different brown tones this month lol. I’m with ya on trying different healthy meals. I no longer eat meat and just got a few different plant based cookbooks to get new ideas.

Music not necessary IMO. I love brown ink. The only one I like here is the Dusted Truffle.

I’m late to the party this week, but better late than never. So happy you had an amazing summer Erin. I’m sorry to hear about the flare-up of your condition. I’m sorry I missed the Tuesday Live. Fingers crossed on Aiden’s MRI. I have ADD that presents as Anxiety. I take Venlafaxine for several years that works amazingly for me. Have a beautiful week.

i have both goose poupon and queen and castle and they are *ever* so slightly different, queen and castle looks a little more like muddy bucket, its a little more towards yellow brown than green ^^ these kinds of inks are one of my favourites, and both muddy bucket and taepyeong seongdae are ones i've been looking at so this was lovely to see them compared ^^

my favorite colors !!

Love them!!! The Colorverse one is really nice. I also like the muddy line from Robert Oster. I have a couple.

Sending you and son positive vibes. Ive recently been diagnosed with MS and ive been doing lots of MRIs which are full body. While youre inside, they have air blowing so you dont feel so trapped and they offer headphones and put the music you like. Hopefully thats an option for him. That helped me a lot. I would close my eyes and focus on the music. They also give you a heads up when not to move. Please let your son know that its also bigger than he thinks so he wont feel trapped. Let me know if he has any more questions and i will gladly give more of my experience.

I used a B5 notebook like that for my lesson planner bullet journal style for several years when I was teaching. I loved it! Part of my summer was spent setting it up and I always made at least one mistake, usually more - could have used some of that correction tape!

I vaguely remembered that Billy Joel does the same thing at his concerts. He also doesn’t sell the first row and has staff pull fans to the front

I love a functional planner! This inspires me to get a day-free or a simple grid notebook for 2025 bullet journaling. ❤

i am a cancer leo love my bday month ❤❤❤ lol

Great video. Wonderful inks. You have a lovely eye for colour and are a great host. Thank you.

Usually people like this invent tasks to fulfill the feeling of "busy" and needing to use a super-duper journal while in reality, they have such few relevant and useful tasks that a single sticky note is enough to do the job

Nice colors. I have a bottle of Aurora Borealis too. The Mandarin duck nape is really nice.

Teals are my fave!! I love that California!!

I LOVE BURMINGHAM INK

You can buy a housing for a 14k sailor nib to go into a jowo or bock pen from flexible nib factory.

Currently inked are my favorite too. Great line-up this month!

Fantastic color choices and pens... Just beautiful.

The Esternbrook pen is so pretty!

Lovely pen and you picked the perfect ink. Enjoy!!

Beautiful pen.. I like the white one also. It would be a toss up between the forest and snow. lol But I am not buying any more pens for a while.. 😬

Erin, love the beauty of the box…very nice Laban! Perfect edition to your collection. 🎉 I don't like waiting either.😂 Like the ink color.

Beautiful blues. What Id like to see 🤔..I am all for dusty/muddy colors 😊

I love this color group so much. Maybe some blue greens/aquas next? I'm digging the summery colors.

I’m having problems with diamine earl grey ink. It seems dry to me. Any suggestions?

I had issues with flow in my Opus 88 too with a medium nib, but someone told me to keep the knob open--or open it more than I think I need to, and I've been doing that with great success with both pens I tried it with. My Opus 88 Pink is filled with an Iroshizuku ink, and the Mini is filled with a colorverse ink, and it's felt a lot better leaving it open. Could also try a brass shim, if you haven't tried that already. Thanks for sharing your thoughts :)

I’m going to try the egg loaf! I predict the FWP Estie pen will be one pen for birthday month and Pennsylvania fieldstone one of your inks. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I enjoy these 3 Ink Thursday videos. Is it possible that is Inferno Orange instead of Arctic?

I loving these bright orange inks lately!!! Looking for something like southwest sunset but that dries faster lol. So far pelikan mandarin is awesome but now I have to try wonderland!

Love your three ink choices. Have Heimdall but will definitely get some samples of the others. 😊

Love hearing all of your stories. Your memory keeping is beautiful!

I’m really enjoying these posts. It looks like, overall, you had a lovely time.

I’m getting ready to send my Opus 88 Demonstrator to CustomNibStudio to have it ground to a journaler nib by Gena Salorino because I too want a journaler nib, but I don’t want to buy another pen right now. Thanks for your videos!

Erin, I enjoyed it as always! Congratulations to you and your hubby on your 16th Anniversary. 💖 Your celebrations are always amazing and lovely to hear about. My weekly goals are broken out into OKRs...Objectives & Key Results. This week is focused on organizational leadership agility training and team and PM coaching. I hope you are enjoying your summertime respite. Have a great week all!

Did you take any fountain pens with you on your trip?

Erin I just love the way you organize the pictures. Such a wonderful trip. Love hearing about all of it! 😋😋😋 The food you had made me salivate!

Erin your journal of your trip to Turkey and Greece is AMAZING!!! I don't even need words as the pictures say everything to understand the impact and experience. So happy you had such a wonderful and beautiful time. I love d the background music. :-)

Erin, late to watching a few of your last videos, but better late than never.😊❤ I love that Diamine Artic Orange! I loved the pirate…arrrggg!😂 I have the Diamine Artic Blue. Beautiful inks.

Erin so happy to see your pictures and the beautiful vacation you obviously had. Good for you and the family.❤🎉

The food sounds amazing! Sorry to hear you're sick, feel better soon!
