I think travel years ought to be given more grace, especially when you go to a stationery paradise like Japan 😄. We're clearly not alone in the comfort and joy stationery and cute stickers offer us, and these warm and genuine communities are so far and few in between. I can empathise with a Lamy aversion. My first fountain pen was a Lamy CP1 for some reason and the experience was so awful I was put off fountain pens for the next 10 years before stumbling into the stationery RUclips community in 2023 gave me the confidence to try them again. My Lamy 2000 wasn't exactly love at first sight and it took finding the right ink (the first ink I tried in it was J. Herbin Perle Noire and it was too dry) to get into the flow (pun intended). Thanks so much for being here and taking the time to leave such a kind and thoughtful comment! 💛 Your support means a lot to me. See you again soon!

Thank you so much! That’s so kind of you to say 😊. Writing with a good pen helps a lot… and my handwriting can look pretty bad with a crappy pen. Thanks for taking the time to comment! 💛

@@HannaChoe Oh thank you so much for saying so, and taking the time to offer this kind, supportive message! It is really encouraging for me as a new channel to read your note. 💛 Thanks for being here, and hope to see you in another video! ☺️

@@Saturdays.Script Thank you so much for your kind encouragement! ☺️ Hahaha I think I was in an exceptionally good mood and it was an oddly optimistic choice of words in the moment! 😂 My mother went through menopause around 10 years ago and she had a very rough time. She told me at one stage she looked at a website with a big list of symptoms and realised she had all of them. I’m hoping to make up for the minimal knowledge I have about menopause and feel at least a little less thrown off guard when it arrives. I hope you have good care from your community and a smart, empathetic, and compassionate doctor! Power to you!! 💪 Thanks again for taking the time to comment. It really means a lot to me and my small channel!

Thanks for coming back! It means a lot 🥰.

Thanks so much for your kind and generous message! 😊 Your journaling intentions for the new year sound splendid. I hope you enjoy your new Hobonichi planner!! Which one/s did you get? I really appreciate you taking the time to write a comment and hope to see you again soon 💛.

You have impeccable taste! 😊 Kiri-Same is a wonderful ink. I’ve honestly not yet found a fountain pen it doesn’t work well in. What pen will you be inking it up with?

@ oh that’s so good to know! I ended up ordering a TWSBI Eco! I know you recommended a TWSBI Diamond 580, but since this is my first FP I wanted to start at a more beginner price point, so I felt the Eco might be a good start! Plus I’ve heard they’re quite similar? I’m soo excited💕

@moonlit.journal I think that’s a terrific choice for a starter fountain pen. I’ve never used one but I know lots of people who love it. I would recommend TWSBI’s in general over a Lamy Safari (another popular starter fountain pen), but I can’t say I love my Diamond 580 because the weight makes it a little tiring to use. I think the Eco is lighter and may very well be more comfortable ☺️. Hope it comes soon!

@@tinytigerco Oh that's good to know about the 580! I was able to try an Eco in store and it felt great, so smooth and comfortable in my hand.

Ohh that's such a kind message, thank you!! ☺ I'm delighted you're here. I look forward to seeing you in more videos. Thanks so much for supporting my new channel! 💛

Thank you for your terrific recommendation! Writech pens look gorgeous!! I’ll check them out as I use a lot of highlighters and gel pens for work ☺️. Thanks also for watching and taking the time to comment. It means a lot to me as a new channel 💛.

Thank you so much for watching, Ilaria! I'm so excited to hear how your planner supports your handmade jewelry business this year 💛. Wishing you every success!!

Love that you’re here, thank you so much for taking the time to comment! Hope you’re off to a good start with your planners and journals too 😊.

@@fireflynebula That’s incredibly kind of you to say, thank you so much for your encouragement and support!! ☺️ Hope to see you again!

@@alexmakingthings Absolutely! I sometimes feel a little intimidated when I see travel journals full of gorgeous watercolour urban paintings and 2,000-word essays on each location. I do a lot of backfilling when the immediate experiences are long past but I can add some simple decorations that remind me of my favourite memories. Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement! I really appreciate you being here 😊. Look forward to learning more about your journals whenever you may care to share! 💛

@@robwhite7976 Thank you so much! 💛 By the way, I love your profile picture! It’s the same vibe as my beloved dogs in bus Hobonichi cover by Keiko Shibata 😄.

@@lookout4liz Thank you for your very kind comment, Liz! ☺️ I love unwinding by listening to people talk about their systems and journals too. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment and support my new channel! 💛

@@anni7039 Thank you for watching my first two videos and supporting my tiny channel! ☺️

Yay! Thank you! I so appreciate your kind words and encouragement 🥰.

That’s very kind of you! I found the video excruciating to listen back to because of all the mistakes I made. Your feedback is incredibly encouraging! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment 💛.

@@LittleCocoStudio Thank you so much, Alison! It means a lot to me that you’ve taken the time to offer your encouragement and support ☺️. Filming videos of both flipping through planners and talking at the same time was much harder than I expected! Does it get easier with practice? My son asks to look through his “special book” all the time 😄. Keiko Shibata is an artistic genius!! I’ve been slowly developing the habit of updating my health and wellness planner more regularly. It’s been a truly functional tool that has helped me be more intentional about caring for my heart, body, and mind. The paper in the new Hobonichi Weeks has been something to get used to. I’m glad you also noticed the thicker lines and I’m not going mad. I’ve even had some bleed through which has never happened for me with Tomoe River paper before. An opportunity to use more of my finer pens, I suppose! I’ve loved discovering audiobooks! I’m going to treat myself to a nice fountain pen for reaching that big hairy goal last year. I might pick up the Platinum you recommended in your live! 🖋️

@@moonlit.journal You’ve been a big part of how entering this community this past week has felt warm and welcoming! 😊 It’s so interesting we both came to the same realization about the Cousin. I can’t wait to see how you experiment with your new system. I hope you find planner peace this year too! ✨ Not random at all! I’m always happy to talk about fountain pens 😄. I got into Hobonichi planners because their paper was recommended as especially suitable for my fountain pens. In my Cousin, the pens I’ve used in the writing featured include TWSBI Diamond 580 with a Fine nib, Sailor Pro Gear Slim with a Medium Fine nib, Lamy 2000 with an Extra Fine nib, and Pilot Custom 823 with a Fine nib. I find EF and F nibs are typically the best for Hobonichi’s small grid sizes. This year, the paper in my Weeks are performing differently than my 2024 Cousin. As such, inks are spreading more on the page and pens are writing ever so slightly more broadly. I’ve been using my Sailors with the <MF> nibs but in my personal opinion, they don’t look as good as they do in the Cousin. Hope that’s not too much information! If there’s ever a specific pen or ink you see that looks good, don’t ever hesitate to ask 🙂. I hope you do choose to enter the fabulous world of fountain pens! It’s so much fun!! 🖋️

@@tinytigerco Thank you SO much!! This is so helpful - there's so much content and so many opinions about fountain pens, it can get very confusing haha. Really appreciate you taking the time to help me out! And thank you for your kind words, excited to see how your system goes as well! ❤

@ You’re most welcome! I remember it was rather overwhelming when I first got into fountain pens as well. Especially as the community exploded in the last few years and there has been torrent of emerging brands, models, designs, and inks. Keep me posted (no pun intended) of you go! ☺️

@@tinytigerco Yess it really has exploded! Haha I will definitely keep you posted ☺

@@DrLibbySander I’m so grateful to you for giving me the push I needed to start this channel! I had a lot of fun figuring out filming and editing and look forward to getting more comfortable with RUclips this year 😄. Looking forward to hearing your 2025 手帳会議 too!

Thank you for taking the time to comment! I love your username. I’m glad you’re here and I really appreciate your encouragement. I hope to see you in my next video!
