Hello Beautiful People!
I love a retrospective of the year and I’m looking back at my first full year living the fountain pen life and focusing on inks! I checked out my journal for pen and ink pairings and looked for what I used more than once in more than one pen. Then I narrowed down the list to what I felt passionate about (and performed well in the pen) and here’s the result! Join me for a chatty look back or check the timestamps (spoiler list) for what I loved and see the swatches at the end!
Love these pens!
