I do like Robert Oster inks but didn't know about the muddy series. My fav Muddy Water, Muddy Grass & Muddy Sands. 🧡🧡🧡

I have both a Sailor 1911 S and a Pro Gear Slim and love how Sailor nibs write. Since you also have both Pro Gear Slim and this Pro Gear, how do the grips compare in size? I absolutely love this FIKA Cup pen and would love to own it, but usually like the slimmer pens. Do you notice a big difference? (I'm looking for a reason to buy this! 😊) Thanks so much for this unboxing and review!

Thanks for this video. I have been thinking about these inks and so happy you gave a great closeup of them. Muddy grass, muddy sand and muddy wine are my favorites.

🥳 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!🎂

It's good to see. Cool video. I love reading romance. I agree with you spring & fall but especially fall is my favorite seasons. 🧡🧡🧡

7:11 i’m totally feeling the same. I don’t know what plan I want this year. But I think I might get the Hobonichi Hon lol

Hi Lisa! It’s great to see you again!! Happy Birthday 🎉 So Happy to hear about your trip to Italy!! That first picture of stunning! Would love to hear and see pictures of your trip! What kind of pens did you take with you? I’be sticked with gel pens because not sure what’s a fountain pen friendly pen to take. Lol.

Keeping this up the algorithm.

The Ferno is my favorite version of the VP. ❤ I love VPs in general and used them as my daily for years. Then tried a Decimo and realized that the smaller size was better for me. But then the Fermo came along and became my “Goldilocks” pen as it’s right in between the VP and Decimo and the Fermo feels substantial and built like a tank without it being too heavy. Highly approve! And if I get tired of the nib, I just swap with my other VP nibs! ❤

That’s really nice! I’ve only been able to skip through without sound so far, so don’t know what you think of it yet, but I like the look of it 😊 I’ll watch again with sound shortly! I really enjoy your channel!

Love this video. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for that video. Kobo color is so, but so WONDERFUL! Writing directly on the page change my reader's life. P.S. Your cover is great.

love that KWZ Berry !!

Congrats on 1k!

I'll definitely follow for your destash!

Congratulations, Lisa!! What a great milestone

It was my first pen show and I didn't even go to the ink-swatching room 😂 I definitely spent too much at DC Pen Show lol. I got a couple of leather covers from Galen Leather, I need to check out their notebooks! Thanks for showing us your haul!

I keep thinking about the Kaweco

Looks like you had an awesome time! Thanks for sharing.

I wish I could only ink 4 pens a month. I'm too eager to use my inks for that low number.😂 Happy reading. I'm also at my yearly goal number. 👏🏽 Diamine Sepia is my favorite on your list. Beautiful. 🧡🧡🧡

I love the spread of your reading journal, it's amazing! Enjoy the DC Pen Show! I moved away from DC last year so I'm bummed I miss that AND the book festival - I remember going in 2019 and couldn't believe how many famous authors they had, and it was organized so well!

Just got mine a bit ago. Such a great writer. I would say on par with my Pilot 823. I have the same color - my only non black pen!

Yes. Please tell us more about your Kobo & all the fun stuff with it. 🧡

Just cleaned my pilot fermi which was inked with lamy crystal amazonite. I use my pens mostly in transcribing a page in journal dedicated to Our Daily Bread daily gratitude messages. It feeds my soul. Michael Connelly's Ballard and Bosch series are what I'm reading and journaling right now. I also use my inks as watercolor in my art journal. Watching the tones of color emerge is like watching a flower bloom. I have to experience the D.C. Show at least once maybe this year since it would be a day trip for me. Good girl or bad girl which one should I be.

Loved your video. I would love to know if you keep a book journal and how you do it. I know you don’t do spoilers but I’m interested is what people write about the books they read. I am always trying to find things to use my pens and inks for 😂 I just never made the habit of taking notes or reviewing books I read. I love your book talk and am making TBR lists from these videos. I will definitely try to get the menopause book - need the info!

Great video. Thank you. Would love to hear more about the pilot fermo pen. Will check to see if you have a video about it. I wrote down a couple of your book recommendations. I recently finished Good Talk and Radiant Rebellion. I came to Good Talk from reading Radiant Rebellion. I recommend both. What do I use my fountain pens for? Mostly sketching and taking book notes. Looking forward to your next current list of_________.

Great lineup of pens AND inks! I hope you have great experiences with all of them!

Nice color palette Lisa! Have fun! 🎉🖋🌸

The fun lies with the broader nibs :) I can wholly endorse SCRIBO. I love so much about them. It looks like you like smooth nibs. If that is indeed the case, keep in mind Aurora nibs have a toothiness too them. Much like a drag. Nice video.

Congrats on 1K!

Glad you are happy with your new pen. Still on the fence with it myself. The planner and pen look very sharp together. Enjoy!

The P rare a . Prera is one of my favorite fountain pens I love the satisfying capping mechenism so crips and gentle at the same time :) Keep up the good work <3

I always like to hear what people are reading. Nice addition to the stationery content.

Great video as usual! Keep up the great work 😊

I also enjoy your content and noticed that KZbin unsubscribed me. I was wondering where you went but glad you showed back up. I went ahead and resubscribed and turned on the notifications. I like the ink and pens and any stationery content. Thank you for what you do 😊

I would love for you do videos that you enjoy because that’s what translates. Book reviews, top ten ink or pens , or whatever else your interests might be. If it brings you joy you will talk about with Joy , plus you can always come back to other topics. Breaks are good, trying new things is also wonderful to refresh our minds and hearts.

Nice! 🧡🧡🧡

I like the way that cover looks . Gonna have to check them out. Keep up posted after you used it awhile.

I still have to read Priory of the Orange Tree, and I’m scared of that one - Nevermind the huge 2nd one. 😂😂😂 I think you should talk about books and things if that’s what you want to talk about. I haven’t really read much the last couple years. I’d love to get back to it, but can’t make myself sit down to do it. As for pen things, I truly do believe there’s room for everyone- I know you said you’re over searching videos right now, but I feel that everyone has an opinion about an ink, a pen, a tool that we all use, and everyone’s voice is valid. When I’m in a place of not consuming as much, I try to revisit things I might have shown off or use a comment to spur some idea, but it can be difficult. Whichever way you go - taking a break or shifting to current interests - I wish you the best and look forward to whatever comes out of it.

I enjoy watching your videos and sorry to hear you may step away. I watch as I enjoy your view of things and that you are not like everyone else.Yes, I enjoy the pens and ink swatching most of all but we all go through phases and changes with our likes and interests from time to time. If you are into books and your travels now, then do vids on those. People will watch if interested or not watch. It’s ok. Not everyone can travel so they can enjoy yours. We may not interact or comment with the people we watch but we are here and will watch and enjoy your content. ☺

That RED ❤❤❤ 😅 TFS ✨

There is a video that identifies potential "shortcomings" of the Plotter system. The channel is "The Stationery Writer" and the video is entitled "Two months in my Plotter... and why I'm quitting." It was posted about 5 months ago. Just FYI.

12:29.....I agree....if there is a pen , I want...I added the value to it, by researching it , shopping around and working for it. I don't have the donation box out there, for other people to pay for my hobby.

Honestly I have all of my old rings and I bought the pre-punched gilded edged pages from sterling ink just in case I got the urge to use a ring system...I haven't. I think my issue is that to carry what I need, the small rings just wouldn't work, but the standard size rings that come in the filofax and Chloe & Neely binders would be heavier than my B6 planner so I just stick to the bound book.

Thanks for sharing! Also, I'm looking forward to seeing what yellow inks you add to your collection!

If you dip the pen like you are doing into the ink bottle, there is no way you can know if the writing experience is of a wet writer or a dry one, it is always to be wet! ...please know better the pen dynamics before making a video...

Really cool to see you revisiting these questions one year later and reflecting on what has changed and/or stayed the same. I feel you on trying not to participate in the latest trends (I’m not immune, though - I’m always looking 😂). I do love hearing everyone’s stories and personal connections and experiences with their pens, though; their enthusiasm for the hobby is infectious! ☺️

Thanks so much! It's nice to have a prn video of less than 15 minutes now and again. I enjoyed it.

Thank you. Always fun to hear about your FP journey. 🧡🧡

Short and sweet. :) It was great to hear from you. Happy Easter!
