    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.

    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!

    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 😊

    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

    • @lifeinspiresdesign
      @lifeinspiresdesign  3 месяца назад +1

      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

      @lifeinspiresdesign  5 месяцев назад +1

      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.
