Such thoughtful responses! I also resonate with our hobby as being a space for grace, distraction and joy to abound in the midst of difficult moments ❤
❤️🥰❤️
I love the journal spread you did while answering the questions!
Thank you so much. I enjoyed making the spread 🤍
I have a small sample of ina-ho from a pen friend and it’s so lovely! I also own goose poupon and agree they’re similar, but iroshizuku inks just feel so good in all of my pens, while I don’t always have the same experience with FWP. I love your pen collection - it’s gorgeous and so well curated. 😍
Thank you so much! And I agree, iroshizuku inks have the best feel especially in EF and F nibs ❤️❤️❤️

I really enjoyed this :) I don't believe I have ever seen your channel before, I am an Aussie too & fairly new to the rabbit hole. I am always happy to follow a fellow Aussie so --- thanks 😁
Loooove finding fellow Aussies in the community! Thank you for following 🥰
Love this video! Could you please tell me what inks are shown in the video (the ones you have written in?) I’m interested in the brown looking one on the left and the dark one you’re using for titles. Sorry if it’s mentioned in the video, I’m trying to figure out.
Thank you in advance ❤
Hi! The brown on the left page is Leatherwood Honey be Van Dieman's ink, and I'm using a Fudenoske Black pen for the headings 🤍
What is the stamp set with fountain pens?
They're by Everyday Explorers. They also have a huge selection of different themes and are super high quality. Highly recommend 🙌
I love this video ❤ I have a full bottle of in-a-ho (iroshizuku) happy to send you a sample bottle
Oooh thank you! I have ink coming out of my ears atm, but will definitely reach out if I'm feeling the itch 🥰
