Fountain Pen Collection: Annual Progress Report 2024 | Montblanc | Esterbrook | Kaweco | Conklin

My Second Annual Progress Report
It has been two years since I first intentionally bought a fountain pen. To reflect on my journey, I thought I’d follow up on my report from last year and go through my current complete collection with you.
Thank you to the 6.5k subscribers to the channel. By sharing my adventures, I hope to help a few who are starting their love affair with fountain pens, inks, and paper. I’d love to hear from you. What would you like me to share more of? I use fountain pens, love inks, am curious about paper, and keep journals. My recent tangential exploration is a trip back to collecting dolls. 😀

Just watched the entire video. It was like a masterclass in fountain pens. So fun to see your whole collection and the different pens. I’ve recently gotten into this hobby and recently purchased an Esterbrook. Which I love. I would love to see a video dedicated to just your Esterbrook collection and the different nibs you can buy from Esterbrook. Thank you for your video.

[@kikaykrafts]

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed this and that you’ve started an Esterbrook collection! Which one did you get? Here’s a recent documentation of my Esterbrook Collection: Esterbrook Collection 2024 | Fountain Pens | Bookmarks | Pen Storage | and more! kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4uoeIh5rsmpqM0 Happy writing! ❤

[@carolbeeley]

@ thanks for the link! I bought the Seaglass with a fine nib.

[@drawinsscribblins5326]

Such beautiful pens. Thank you for sharing!!

[@kikaykrafts]

Thank you for dropping by! It’s always a pleasure to share. 💜

[@sirjoe88]

Great video. Loved seeing your collection and the great variety. I’ve only been collecting for about a year but have been surprised by how many I’ve amassed in that short time.

[@kikaykrafts]

I know the feeling! It seems like the pens just keep multiplying, even when you try to be mindful. 😅

[@impish22]

I think I am loving your green collection the best. I have a weakness for green !!

[@kikaykrafts]

Thank you! I enjoy darker greens, so I was surprised to find Esterbrook Sea Glass as one of my more used pens. Oh. And are you team green-and-gold or green-and-silver? 😆

[@impish22]

@@kikaykrafts to be honest, probably green/gold, but I love green so much that green silver is great too !! Just give me the greens. My favorite green ink is Noodler's Army green which is more olive

[@kikaykrafts]

I’m with you on the green-gold pairing AND that silver does not deter me either. 😁 Olive green inks are lovely. Might need to check that ink. Thanks for the tip!

[@crystalmariedeleon338]

I thought you will talk about the cases and you are correct about collecting a lot in a month 😂

[@kikaykrafts]

That first month-or those first few months, rather-were CRAZY. I wanted to try them all. And since the FP community here rarely meets, I felt I needed to buy what I wanted to try. My toy budget and I are glad those days are over. 😆

[@crystalmariedeleon338]

@@kikaykrafts where are your wooden storage cases from esp the light one

[@kikaykrafts]

@@crystalmariedeleon338The light brown one is from Toyooka Craft. You can find him on Instagram. It’s his 40-pen Fountain Pen Box in Wisteria.

[@fountainpensinksmore3290]

I have about 7 always inked. I like piston fillers, that’s whats so nice about FPs, something for everyone!

[@kikaykrafts]

@@fountainpensinksmore3290So very true! It makes me appreciate pen makers that provide the same or similar pens in cartridge-converter AND piston- or button-fillers. ❤

[@impish22]

I enjoy your description about the thought process behind collecting. It is a learning process to really discover what you eventually really like. I have had to get over the fact that when I sold some pens, I did lose a little money, but that is just part of the learning and education, and it's ok. I like that I am finally coming into my own, and definitely learning what I DON'T like for sure. I am not into all of those swirly resin pens, I enjoy the more "plain" colors. But even so, I fall for many of the BENU's, but not all of them

[@kikaykrafts]

I agree; it’s an ongoing process to discover what resonates with you! I was quite surprised to find more black than blue pens in my collection. 🤭
