Snippets from My Desk: New Pens, Stamps, and Tapes. Two hours alone time.

I can't believe I could sit down with you all and have a check-in. Let's look at some new stuff I ordered from Yoseka, check out the stuff that's usually sitting on my desk, talk about my pen wishlist plans gone wrong with a recent sale purchase, and just chat. I missed you all and wish we could meet in person instead of virtual from my camera to your screen.

I tend to make a cup of coffee/tea when I sit down to watch chatty YT videos so I do feel like I'm sitting there with the person behind the camera ;) You got some lovely new goodies to play with - enjoy them, you don't have to justify anything to any of us!

[@seemownay]

Thank you so much! And thanks for the reminder, I know I do what I want to do, but then I start overthinking.

[@creationsbylyzz786]

I love the way you chat to the camera like you are legit talking to us!

[@jannahlyon]

"I am not a bad person, I just prioritize other things" 💜 Right there with you :)

[@seemownay]

Thanks! Glad I'm not alone in this.

[@cerealnana]

Glad you are back making your Sunday videos! Those stamps are so cute!

[@seemownay]

Me too!!

[@HandmadebyLorelei]

You make me giggle. Thanks for keeping me company today. I tend to stay away from Endless Pens for the same reason- no pre orders thank you. ugh! I like your haul from Yoseka.... MUST RESIST THOSE STAMPS!!!!! :) I also love the cat labels. adorable. I wouldn't be mad if you sent me a few in your next letter. LOL!

[@naomifreya1481]

İ also giggled ☺️

[@seemownay]

I'm so glad I made you chuckle. And I can totally send some in my next letter.

[@christinemcgregor9970]

It's always fun to hang out with you! Great video

[@seemownay]

Thanks for taking the time!

[@Desert_Inkwell]

Love the stamps, and more so your pen-friend company :}😊

[@seemownay]

Thank you so much!

[@FountainPenNews]

Definitely winter for our trip to Mordor! The fiery pit will feel so warm when get there.

[@seemownay]

Yep - winter it is. Gives us some more time to collect all the shitty notebooks.

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

At 37:02, you asked about the meaning of the writing on your washi. I looked it up in a dictionary, and i found “lovey dovey, head over heels in love.” It’s like, *love* love. 😆

[@seemownay]

Thanks so much! lovey dovey ... LOL. So I can use it without fear.

[@Blue_Rosemarie]

I also got the sticky notes from OURS. They are just so cute. And I love sticky notes and paper pads in general.

[@seemownay]

I do too. I love that I can use my fountain pens on these.

[@ruonpaper]

You could really hear how relieved you were to have a moment to yourself to just play with stationery and film a video 😊 I'm glad I wasn't the only one who giggled when you said 'big but(t)', hehe. And looove the Ours Studio labels and the stamp stamps, so cute!

[@seemownay]

Thanks so much!

[@ramonafirehorse]

I’ve been wanting to buy those Lobito stamps as well! So cute 😍

[@seemownay]

They are so fun, now I just need to write and send letters. Sigh!

[@nlamproplos]

Absolutely, I am watching! Your first declaration that children are SOOOO ... annoying made me spit my coffee! 😂 And the EF would be great. Thank you!

[@seemownay]

I'm sure my kids were the same but now I can see it from the other side. Popping it in the mail this upcoming week.

[@nlamproplos]

@seemownay It's a phenomenon in dog training, too. People who get a puppy after losing a beloved dog call me and say, "Whozits NEVER chewed my shoes, had an accident in the house, tore my skin with her puppy needle teeth, etc." They just don't remember puppyhood. I think it's an evolutionary strategy - otherwise, no one would have more than one kid or one dog. Lol.

[@papertalesp]

😅 The stamp for stamps are awesome! What a bummer you have an unintentional pre order. It happened to me at the beginning of the year with the shop Stiloe & stile from Italy but they did cancel the order, apologised and by some weird reason gave me a 10% discount 😅 to use that week.

[@seemownay]

I was lucky that a friend offered to send me one of her Watermans so I didn't have to wait so long. Now I'll get to test this one and then the wait time isn't that long.

[@FountainPenNews]

I would love to see a gold nib lamy video. (as if I haven't already purchased some!) 😊

[@seemownay]

You got it!

[@roxiesossa3210]

Thanks for the laughs throughout😂 So sorry you had a bad experience with Endless Pens. 😒 I had one too many negative experiences and stopped purchasing from them a while ago. Aaawe man! Had I known you wanted to try the L2000 , I would've sent you mine!

[@seemownay]

This was definitely my last purchase no matter the steal I'd be getting. The Lamy 2000 M was a spontaneous decision at first I was going after the full pen. LOL. Then I came to my senses and figured a nib would be suffice.

[@IratherservetheLord]

I 11:28 Stopped purchasing from endless pen for similar reasons and because of there no cancellations policies and all sorts of fine lines which made the experience to me not worth the hassle. I decided I rather pay full price and avoid being annoyed with them.

[@seemownay]

Yeah, I caved yet again with the order I mentioned in the video. But I think this experience healed me from the temptation for good.

[@chillypingu17]

You are totally right. LOL!!!!🤪

[@chillypingu17]

You are CRACKING me up. I agree with you about young children btw. I don't miss it.

[@chillypingu17]

It doesn't matter for the Yoseka sticker. I remember Daisy talking about their logo in one of their videos and that it was intentionally designed to be the same either up or down.

[@seemownay]

😁

[@seemownay]

I'm so glad you are having fun!

[@missharkiss]

I have the same Hobonichi planner! And the same stencil just arrived in the post. Have you used it much? It’s soooo cute, not even sure I’ll need it, just bought it cause it looks cute and it was in the sale 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@seemownay]

I like using it occasionally. Most of the time I forget it's there. LOL.

[@Desert_Inkwell]

Also, I fight an endless battle against dog hair. Sometimes I pretend things are felted so I can ignore the hair.

[@seemownay]

That's a great strategy!

[@BlushnBlue]

Don't tell anyone Simone, but, I am a horrible house cleaner as well. Once I get started I like to do the cleaning all in one day.

[@seemownay]

I think that's what I'll have to do too. You know what annoys me most? When I just can't seem to clean it to perfection, why even bother?

[@BlushnBlue]

@@seemownay Nope, you will never catch me get my house cleaned to perfection the way I would want. I've been through too many self help books to know that I'm done with perfection...lol.

[@skudio]

If anyone wants to know the ラブラブ says "love love" (pronounced rabu-rabu). Just a cutesy onomatopoeia wording :)

[@seemownay]

Thank you so much! This is super helpful.

[@FountainPenNews]

BTW, I'm the worst cleaner in the world. Solidarity.

[@peggylove1]

So we shouldn’t trust anything you say? That’s pretty funny. I have 4 Waterman Carene pens, red, blue, brown (matte) & black with silver striped cap with gold clip. All of these have lived here unused for a long time and all have fine but European fine, juicy nibs. Any interest? I can let you try if you’d like.

[@seemownay]

@@peggylove1 why are they unused? I would love to try one - thanks for the offer!

[@peggylove1]

⁠@@seemownayWell, let’s just say I have too many pens. I am not loving those, a little too broad for me. Want me to send the black with silver cap? I can do that.

[@seemownay]

@@peggylove1 I'd absolutely love that!
