    Thanks for the recap. DC will be my first show. I’d love to meet you there.

    Thanks for this fun recap/update. You packed a lot of great experiences into one day! Azizah gave you a nice shout out in her Philly Pen Show recap, too. Love this fountain pen community 😊

      Oh wow. I’ve been behind on a couple of things so I’ve definitely gotta catch up on CZcams and check out her channel. Yes the community is awesome

    Woot. First pen show!! Yea. And so glad you got the inks!! 😊

    • @CarrotsOlives
      @CarrotsOlives  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Yes! Thank you! You’ve sent me soooo many. I wasn’t expecting that. Haha. 😂 Now I’ve got to organize and swatch. Yay!!

    Glad you got to a show. I went to Philly last year, also my first. I hope to get to DC this year.

    I would've went with you :( I didn't know there was a pen show in Philly until a couple of days ago....I'm sooooo disappointed. I just got into fountain pens & journaling so that show would've been perfect for me. I'm glad you had fun!!!!

  • @swee7bebe
    @swee7bebe Před 5 měsíci +1

    Omg I was there too! I went on Friday. I went by myself too. It’s too bad I would have loved to meet you, your channel is one of my favorites.

    • @CarrotsOlives
      @CarrotsOlives  Před 5 měsíci

      Thank you thank you! I’m thinking next time I should wear a name tag with my CZcams channel in it so others may recognize me. Haha. 😆

    Wow, that Franklin Christoph is stunning 😍. I’m also focusing on my current pen collection and seeing what works with what as far as inks and nibs go. I had a lot of acquisitions in 2023, now I want to use them all.

    • @CarrotsOlives
      @CarrotsOlives  Před 5 měsíci

      You can do it! And you definitely said it better than I did, but that is exactly how I feel

  • @pbpickett7210
    @pbpickett7210 Před 5 měsíci

    You are rocking some awesome pens. That Scribo! I like working with Kirk. He rescued me when my vintage Montblanc 149 needed mucho work. And I totally relate to wanting to enjoy the pen collection more by having nibs tuned to my liking. Love your videos.

    • @CarrotsOlives
      @CarrotsOlives  Před 4 měsíci

      Yes he is awesome and very kind from the brief interaction I had with him

  • @dennisvukovic2777
    @dennisvukovic2777 Před 5 měsíci

    Ahh pen shows - not too many down under, and relatively small I’ve heard. Great nib swap! The FC looks superb. I find Gioia nibs so smooth and wet, and they fit Jowo housings. BTW Fontoplumo in the Netherlands sells the nibs only. Do you find other nibs good for different purposes?

  • @PensandPaint
    @PensandPaint Před 5 měsíci

    Hey Brit. I hope you feel better soon - head colds are the worst. I hope to see you at DC Pen show in August. Thanks for sharing.

    • @CarrotsOlives
      @CarrotsOlives  Před 5 měsíci

      Awe thank you so very much. Yes!!! That would be awesome!!

    Oh I’m so glad you got to a pen show Brittany. I am yet to go to attend one. We only have one here in Australia in Melbourne and it is tiny compared with the ones in the US I believe. My dream is to save up and fly to the US and go to the San Francisco one some day 😊 It must have been wonderful to get some pen grinds done in person! Take care lovely and hope you start feeling better soon 🥰

    • @CarrotsOlives
      @CarrotsOlives  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Thank you so much! Yes overall great experience. I’m excited to get more grinds done in the future!!

    I enjoyed your recap of the pen show. I am new to FP and planning to attend my first show(s) in 2024. I will likely go to SF (since that is where I live) but also looking to travel to one other in the U.S. Would love to meet up with you.

  • @melvinbutler7250
    @melvinbutler7250 Před 5 měsíci

    That was a thorough and thoughtful review! I've never been to a pen show, (& I grew up in Philly and Jersey) but the idea of refining the pens that we have is very appealing. Great advice! Thank you for your thoughts and review!

  • @rhonda9614
    @rhonda9614 Před 5 měsíci

    Pen shows are so much fun!!! Next time you go you will have to post on IG or CZcams hey I will be here meet me at Starbusk at 2PM because I know I would have went to a coffee shop for a meet up. I wonder how many people walked right past you that watch your channel but just did not know it was you with all the excitement of being there. I hope you had fun!!!

  • @archivist17
    @archivist17 Před 5 měsíci

    Glad you had fun at the pen show, even if you only got one day.

    • @CarrotsOlives
      @CarrotsOlives  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Thank you and me too. Happy for the opportunity.

  • @marnat5961
    @marnat5961 Před 5 měsíci

    I recently started following Samuel naldi his in Switzerland. His are high and the interviews with his buyers are interesting. Not my price range but I learn a lot from his channel. Hope you feel better soon. Have not made a show yet so thanks for the tips

    • @CarrotsOlives
      @CarrotsOlives  Před 5 měsíci

      I’ll have to check out his channel. Thanks for the suggestion and thank you for the get well wishes!

    Thanks for sharing your visit to the pen show. What was the brand and name of the ink you bought?

  • @ShariArts
    @ShariArts Před 5 měsíci

    I didn't catch the name of your planner/journal cover. Can you share what that one is?

    • @CarrotsOlives
      @CarrotsOlives  Před 5 měsíci +2

      It is a VDS (Van Der Spek)

    • @ShariArts
      @ShariArts Před 5 měsíci

      OMG they are so expensive! Way out of my range. Glad you are a wealthy woman!

  • @maibritton2882
    @maibritton2882 Před 5 měsíci

    for like - minded people, consider asking your local FP/ stationary shops if they have events and/or start your own journal ephemera swaps?

    • @CarrotsOlives
      @CarrotsOlives  Před 5 měsíci

      Thanks. Yes attending the Philadelphia Pen Show would fall under your suggestion. Local shops aren’t that close to me. And I do have pen pals which I swap with so I’m working on the things from your list. 😊

    • @maibritton2882
      @maibritton2882 Před 5 měsíci

      I understand concerning shops close to you and I have tons of stationary that I share with once in a while. I think I overwhelm people with how much I send them. But it's hard to find likeminded people in my area.@@CarrotsOlives
