WOW you have some STUNNING pens! I truly love your storage. It is so clean and elegant on your self. I watch so much content on fountain pens, and I think my favourite thing about your collection is there are so many pens I have never seen or heard of before! I looked up a bunch of them and could find them NO WHERE on the net. You have a truly amazing collection. I am in awe.

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

Thank you so much! I guess I have a soft spot for very specific pens…that just so happen to be limited edition 😅

[@BooknBroom]

You and me both @@lifeinspiresdesign !! I have a few I am excited about for this year, and just keeping my eyes open for their release dates.

[@lju5001]

This is one of the most gorgeous pen collections I have ever seen! Great job of showing barrels, nibs and giving explanations of where you found them and nib grinder work. Thanks for posting!

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

Thank you kindly!

[@cherylclough4309]

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

[@Jaffar540]

Congratulations Kristen! you have some of the finest collection of fountain pens. I love the way you store your treasures. It is the best way to sore fountain pens.

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@bluejchou4404]

Hi Kristen! Lovely collection. Your wood pen reminds me of a Middle Earth map. : ) Have you thought about doing a blind test holding the Sailor pens posted to see if it feels different? I'm curious to see. 🙂 Your videos are always a pleasure to view. Thank you for sharing!

[@zanepierson6816]

I strive to have a collection as beautiful and grand as this one day.... on my way there! haha only have 3 at the moment. Thanks for sharing this! Love to see all of the ones you've collected

You have a stellar collection, Kristen! I love your shelf and boxes setup. It looks so inviting. And going through each pen was such a treat. I can’t even begin to choose a favorite. 😹 This was a fantastic video. Thank you for sharing your beautiful collection! 🤘🏼😸🧡🖋

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

Awww thank you so much!

[@addicted2analogue]

Great collection Kristen! Very impressive. Thanks for sharing, and good job on the video. Well paced in terms of describing each pen. Great job!

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@morada2020]

Beautiful collection. I just purchased my first fountain pen. I ordered the Kaweco Sport in Iridescent Pearl.

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

Thank you! Way to start off your fountain pen journey! I hope you enjoy your new pen.

[@kimdujour]

Thanks for sharing your collection. I love the pens but also the variety of your nib grinds.

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

Thanks for watching! I love how the variety changes my writing style and size. It keeps me on my toes. 😊

[@christinemcgregor9970]

I loved seeing your collection. I think you have the most Leonardos I have ever seen and so many I've never seen mentioned before . I can't wait to see more videos.

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@vnikyt]

🥰 "and now, all is well" 🥰 such emotion and sweetness in your voice; could almost feel the joy and contentment in the moment you got it back lol. Your collection is just sublime. Beauty after loveliness after heart stopper. Best SOTC video I've seen. Enjoying my tiny affordable collection lol, but hope to one day have a few of those gorgeous models. And I've learned about nibs I had no clue about! Thanks, sis! Can't wait to see your inks 😊

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

Thank you so much!! Yes, all is well when your favorite pens perform their best.

[@kaytick]

Omg!!! How did I miss this 😍 what a gorgeous collection. I also envy your pen storage. ❤❤❤

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

Oh thank you!

[@annathompson3034]

Very lovely collection!

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

Thank you!

[@shawntaylor1823]

Beautiful collection! I have some of the same fountain pen!

[@ichirofakename]

Stunning collection, well done. Skyliner for the win.

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

Thank you kindly!

[@ironmic9244]

Most Awesomeness collection. I like how you started with the BEST pens ;) Music was a great choice too.

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@brethilebontree6672]

Lovely to see all your pens. I inked up my Kaweco Sport Iridescent Pearl with a BB nib today, first time I inked it with Troublemaker Petrichor, which was so dry. Today I put a ONLINE Turquoise cartridge in it, writes so smooth now! So I do recommend trying your Kaweco with the BB nib and another not so dry ink!

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

Thank you for sharing your experience! I was hoping a wetter ink would work better for that Kaweco BB.

[@Lionheart.]

Amazing collection! Would love that Lamy AL Star!

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

[@impish22]

how fun. I can't wait to watch, but first, I must get the coffee going

[@SimplyAubs]

Hey Kristen! Thanks for sharing your collection with us! (I haven't finished yet...just wanted to put this out there...if you want to get rid of the Esterbrook LI in Green with the leven fill? I'll buy it!!!!) Back to finish....

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

Thanks so much! Send me a message at [e-mail] or on IG: @lifeinspiresdesign

[@kathysmith8508]

I absolutely love your FP collection and through overview. Thanks for putting the names and nib sizes on the screen. And where are your storage display cases from? I recently acquired two cases, but I need bigger ones.... 🙂

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

Glad you like them! The black display case was a gift from a family member. I purchased the two dark brown display cases from Amazon: amzn.to/3SzjwDR

[@g66772]

you have a very sweet pen collection. you should have heard me ooh and ahh of your pens. there were many times i'm wiping the drool off my mouth. i like those omas and your pilots

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

LOL thank you so much!

[@ricoemtp]

We love your videos and discovered you from the SF Pen Show videos and have been following since. Will you be at the California Pen Show? Would love to say hi.

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

Aw, I won’t be attending that one. I plan to attend the SF Pen Show in August. I hope you enjoy the California Pen Show!

[@NikitaBx2]

Thanks for sharing your wonderful collection! Do you also keep the boxes your pens came in?

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

Thanks for watching! I keep the original boxes of my most expensive pens.

[@coffeeandconcealerco949]

Hi Kristen! I have watched this numerous times. I adore your collection and your intentions behind each acquisition. Can you tell me where you got the pen case?

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

Thank you so much for watching! I bought the display cases from Amazon. They are gorgeous, but they may require a light hand. If you’re not precious with your things, then you may want to skip this one. The construction is nice enough, but the drawers wiggle laterally. For me, it’s the perfect solution until I work up the nerve to invest in Toyooka Craft cases. Here’s the link to the cases I use: amzn.to/3s8z2gU

[@heartoflyn]

Beautiful collection! I want to be you when I grow up. 😬

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

😊 thank you!

[@rogeriosantos1379]

Olá, são lindas suas canetas. Infelizmente aqui no Brasil, são poucas as pessoas que conhecem canetas tinteiro é uma "pena". Tenho algumas aqui comigo, mas nem se compara a essa sua coleção!

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

Thank you so much! I hope you can find others in your area who love pens just as much. You could also introduce some of your friends to fountain pens - they may enjoy the hobby as well, or at least begin to appreciate it because of you.

[@MimiCozyGamer]

Wait a minute….your gonna put a gold nib on the mango Lamy? What nib would it be? I wanna try that !!!! Beautiful collection ❤

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

Not sure yet, I’m still going back and forth between a fine or extra-fine Z55 or Z56. From first glance, it seems that both nibs are compatible; I want to do some more research to be sure and to decide on which one I’d like to purchase.

[@MimiCozyGamer]

@@lifeinspiresdesign I’m excited to see what you end up doing !!

[@hemkeshyeole4630]

I am from india , its expensive here to have fountain pen , making it worst i am a student so , its good someone else collection this extensive ❤

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to show your appreciation! ❤️

[@Ali4451_]

Where did you get those awesome display cases?

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

I purchased the display cases on Amazon. Here's the link: amzn.to/4aJsl51

[@brindhaselvaraj9855]

Amazing collection. Where can I buy moonman wancai mini purple ?

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

Thank you! I purchased it on Amazon. Here's a link to the pen I bought: amzn.to/43u05l1

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

I just re-checked the listing, and it looks like the purple version was removed. They are still selling a multi-color version, though.

[@Readytowatchofficial]

I like these fountain pens but I Can't afford it if I could get one of those It would be your pleasure.

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

They are lovely, but if you can enjoy what you already have, that’s a worthy victory 💕

[@ashfaqaziz9346]

Ouch i like it so much if you have extra gift me 3 of them 😽🫶🏻

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

Aw, thanks for watching! I have already given away the pens I mentioned at the start of the video.

[@Tina.Journals]
