Scribo La Dotta in Acquerello ✨ My current favorite fountain pen!

[@gailsbookishthings5191]

I liked the little Italian grammar and pronunciation lesson. Truly! Stuff like that really interests me. 😁

[@gingerpeachy]

Thanks Gail! Me, too!

[@TheIris35]

Omgosh this is so beautiful 😍

[@gingerpeachy]

I agree - it's so special! Thanks!

[@roxiesossa3210]

Hey Sarah! Gorgeous pen! I've had my eye on Scribo for so long. I was so close to getting this one. I've just been so indecisive about which one then when I finally decide, it's sold out. 😂 There was a time when I'd act first, think later. Lately, I'm on the other side of the spectrum. Scribo has always been part of the plan though. The Scribo Feel Spiaggia Rosa was the one that got away. I STILL think about that one but I think the La Dotta model would be comfortable for me. You & I started new jobs around the same time and I'm with you: I'm exhausted! We have to give ourselves some grace when we can't get to it all. I'm backed up on a too many things to count - one f which is watching my favorite KZbinrs videos because there aren't enough hours in the day to do it all so never feel bad about taking a break. We'll be here when you are. 😉💜

[@gingerpeachy]

Thanks so much for your sweet encouragement. 🥰 I love having a job that keeps me busy - it's so much better than being bored. But yes, I'm having to learn to give myself some grace! To be honest, I watch very little stationery KZbin these days. Which is probably good for my wallet! I had Scribo on my wish list, and knew I would probably choose one this year. And thankfully I had seen it advertised before it was released, so I had time to think about it until it went on sale on the Goldspot website. But in general, I've been a lot less impulsive about my pen purchases this year, and it feels good. The right one will come your way at just the right time! Thanks again!

[@anitaanglin]

What a gorgeous pen - enjoy it!

[@gingerpeachy]

Thank you Anita! I am loving it!

[@xerxiusmaximus]

I saw a KZbin video, wherein an Italian CEO and pen collector was sharing her collection… and a jewel among the many gorgeous ones she possessed was a direct-buy limited edition… I had to have it… and it has been everything I could have every hoped for… and definitely worth every penny. I purchased the Teatro, in 14kt Feel The Flex… Love, love this pen… and Scribo’s are my jam… thank you for sharing…. Please, please, enjoy responsibly, lol ((if that were at all possible)).

[@gingerpeachy]

I had to look up the Teatro - it's beautiful! A wonderful choice indeed. Thank you!!

[@natashajohnson5776]

I like how the color of your nails matches the pen.

[@gingerpeachy]

Thanks! I'm definitely going back to this nail color soon - I love it! 🤩

[@loracharis6814]

This pen is beautiful. Just today I said I needed to set a grail pen for my next milestone birthday in a few years. I too was thinking the Feel because I love the faucets. If I start saving now I may not feel so guilty about the price 😅. Looking forward to what models and finishes will be available then.

[@gingerpeachy]

Start saving some points at a favorite retailer, too, so you can get a discount! I think this pen (or the feel) (in any finish) is a wonderful grail pen! Thanks for watching!

[@fossilimprint2954]

Good review, I do not know much about Scribo, learned a lot from you.

[@gingerpeachy]

Thank you! I don’t know a lot about Scribo, either, but I learned some things when I bought this pen!

[@christinemcgregor9970]

This pen is a stunner! So gorgeous and definitely shouts summer-how fun and will go with any color ink. Enjoy it!

[@gingerpeachy]

Yes, it's so pretty, and you're right - it will go with any ink color! I guess it's kind of boring that I went with blue, but I knew I'd reach for it with blue ink a lot more than some other colors. I'm enjoying it so much! Thank you Christine!

[@Guairenito]

this is a gorgeous pen, I wish they would make some more of this color, it is sold out everywhere

[@gingerpeachy]

It’s really beautiful! I think they sold out pretty quickly - they were hand-painted by one artist, so I can imagine it would be hard to make very many of them. I hope you can find one at some point!

[@Guairenito]

@@gingerpeachy yes, you are eight, let’s hope they will get a new batch or something else in that theme, it is truly gorgeous and honestly I haven’t seen so like it.

[@wildlyimaginable]

What a beautifully gorgeous pen! I didn’t have Scribo on my pen list but I love this one in particular. Congrats on the purchase. Good to see you back too. 😊

[@gingerpeachy]

Thank you Grace! I highly recommend a Scribo pen after having used this one for a while. They’re pricey but so so good!

[@caklich]

I got this pen a couple weeks ago and it is ASTOUNDINGLY nice in person.

[@gingerpeachy]

Agree! It's so good!

[@michellealdrich]

Beautiful 🎨 TFS ✨

[@gingerpeachy]

Thank you! 😊

[@oliviatrelles]

Gorgeous pen! The colors are so wonderful to look at.

[@gingerpeachy]

The colors are so vibrant and pretty!

[@stevekail4543]

My treat to myself this spring was having Brian Gray at Edison make their Morgan model in Fade To Jade acrylic. I also went with an extra fine nib. It was good to see you back on KZbin. 🙂

[@gingerpeachy]

Oooh, I bet that's a beautiful pen! Congratulations! And thanks for the welcome-back! 😊

[@impish22]

Gorgeous pen !! thanks for sharing

[@gingerpeachy]

Thank you!!! 🥰

[@journeyon6598]

Beautiful pen! Great video. Thanks,

[@gingerpeachy]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@lynettedyck7327]

Thanks Sarah! Great video! Glad you're enjoying the new pen. I am not a fan of Pilot blue, as you say, and I also have no interest in black ink, but I ended up with both bottles from buying Pilot pens. I have been mixing them together in a separate bottle to make a blue black that I can use widely without being precious about it. I have gone through a lot of that ink mix. Take care!

[@gingerpeachy]

That was a great idea to mix the inks into something you enjoy! And since they're the same brand, you don't really have to worry about any reactions between the ingredients. Thanks for watching!!

[@amyelr]

So pretty! I got a Feel that is painted as well (different design), and I was so pleasantly surprised to see the base color layer was so... luminous? I think I was expecting a flat black background or something. I'm really happy with mine too.

[@gingerpeachy]

Yes, I was surprised at the chatoyance in the base pen material! I'm so glad you love your pen, too. Do the facets make a big difference, do you think?

[@Heidejournal]

I missed out on this pen because it was released when I had just gotten my La Dotta Campanula and I thought it would be a little too excessive to get another one right away. The Campanula was actually my 2nd choice, I had initially wanted the Feel Verde Antico, but that was sold out at my favorite retailer. Then afterwards I saw it somewhere else and bought it right away. And then I got a really good deal on the La Dotta Ai Giardini… and found a Feel A Riveder Le Stelle on ebay. Makes 4 Scribos in less than a year and now I‘m asking myself why on earth I hesitated to buy the La Dotta Acquerello… 😂

[@gingerpeachy]

Oooh I almost bought either a Campanula or a Feel Verde Antico before I saw this one - it sounds like we have very similar taste! I looked up each of the other ones - that Feel A Riveder Le Stelle is STUNNING!! 🤩 I feel it's a good alternative to this one, honestly. Different, but just as beautiful! If it's meant to be, maybe you'll stumble across an Acquerello one day, too!

[@Heidejournal]

@@gingerpeachy Yes… or if you ever decide to sell yours, I‘m here for it. 😂

[@thanhang6987]

My dream!

[@gingerpeachy]

I hope you can have one of your own some day!

[@cerealnana]

Gorgeous pen! I would love a Scribo but I don't think it is a good idea for me as things tend to get sucked into the vortex in my presence on occasion. Can't see what the collabs are!

[@gingerpeachy]

Oh goodness! This is certainly not a pen you'd want to lose to the vortex! lol. One of the collabs will hopefully reveal itself next weekend - the other one is just in the idea stages, so it may be quite a while, but you bet I'll update as soon as I can! Sorry to leave cliffhangers...

[@619to253]

Sarah, I love your videos. Please take care. I love that pen! Rachelle in Seattle

[@gingerpeachy]

Thank you, Rachelle! You take care, as well! 🥰

[@fjschnitzer1]

Greetings from the other side of the globe😊! Love the videos, Scribo La Dotta Valvede 14k M nib is in my wishlist. I am gonna get Leonardo Blue Hawaii first then it's gonna be Delta DV medium size Original and later next year the Scribo with be in the collections.

[@gingerpeachy]

Ooh that Valverde is gorgeous - good choice! And thank you for your kind words. I hope you are able to acquire some of your wish list pens this year!

[@aethyrsprite]

1. Pens rolling upwards --i don't think i've seen this before. 2. Agreed: 'Basic' blue, when done well, is the best colour. Visconti Blu must be the best of them all --it is ultramarine. If you do not know it, please look it up. 3. Agreed: Elastic gold nibs are for calligraphers. I find it hard to control one. 4. This pen is absolutely marvellous. Enjoy!!

[@gingerpeachy]

lol, I didn't think about it looking like the pens were rolling upwards - I should've moved my notebook, but I found myself in the middle of pen comparisons and didn't take the time to move it! I will look up Visconti Blu - I'm glad I'm not the only 'basic' blue lover! I really want to like flexy nibs, but I find that I tend to grip my pen tighter and press harder when they have flex, and I don't love the feeling. When a nib is more firm, I write with a lighter hand. And, thank you!! (And I'm sorry for not numbering my responses, lol)
