Ah, Forest Gateau for Day 4-what a decadent name! It a dessert-inspired theme, its a rich and indulgent color, perfect for evoking winter coziness. ❤😊🎉🌳🦌❄️🧦🧣I really like it! Can’t wait to open mine as it’s my first scented ink as well. Nicely done Erin!

Wonderful ink. I thought it had a black currant type of smell, or blackberry. Anyway, I think you should not worry about Taytay stuff being polarizing, because we want to hear you talk about your Taylor Swift adventures with inks. Love that idea. Thank you, @The Joy in Pens and Paper.

Gateau is a cake based dessert, Black Forest is a traditional type with berries and forest fruits, it was very 70’s. You can also get chocolate, strawberry, toffee and chocolate. 😊

I have this one inked up too. I have it in an Esterbrook Estie with a cursive smooth italic nib. So far so good. I am also a fine and extra fine person. It is such a good green for the holidays.

Love this one. I have it inked up for December. My Dandelion Diaries compared this to cashmere rose and the wilted rose is more brown leaning where CR is more pink. It looks more like Opera Rose and Brunch date. At least to me.

The dusty rose-brown is beautifully muted and romantic, with a vintage charm that feels cozy-like something you’d use in a journal by a roaring fire. Its warm tone balances the chill of Baltic Breeze, making them a thoughtful contrast for the first two days.❤🎉😊 Love your beautiful swatching Erin. Always makes me smile. I bought my first diamine inkvent calendar so it’s fun to open each day and then watch your videos.

Haha thought it said 'hello fir' as well.

Its doing alright in my jinhao with an extra fine nib so far. No cloggin or flow issues and shimmer in every line!

I have two Jinhao 9019s with medium nibs that handle shimmer like a champion. I plan to put this ink in the green one to see how it goes.

I’m thinking I’m going to have to find the right nib for this much shimmer. Maybe even my Twisbi go broad! I don’t think I want to chance it in one of my better pens! 😮 You also could use the ink without shaking it if you just want the color green without the shimmer.

I truly appreciate how they captured the rusty brown essence of ‘wilting,’ what an absolutely gorgeous color and color name. Perfect!

Such a beautiful ink picture! And to see your new pens inked up and flowing was a treat! 😊 …Holly is such a brilliant green, love it! Thank you for including it here!

Love day two! And love the feelings the name evokes. Also those two look great next to eachoher !

Yayyy! I'm happy to see you opening the Inkvent this year! I really like Baltic Breeze, but it remains to be seen which nib works best for me. I'm thinking a Twsbi Medium would probably be ideal for me. I started with it in a Montegrappa fine and it's not juicy enough.

These inks are so beautiful, every day becomes Christmas-iike. I am filled with excitement and anticipation every day. Love this. Gorgeous shades this year. 1920s Noir vibes. Thank you, @The Joy in Pens and Paper.

how do we send mail?

I loved this #1 ink. It is dark, yet light blue, with heavy copper shimmer, which does rub off a bit. When I don't want shimmer I can just skip agitating the bottle. I am loving this Dark themed Diamine Inkvent 2024 Black Edition so far. I am already excited and happy about what I see. I will be doing them day by day, as it gives me joy, and holiday spirit.

I like the way you did this and am looking forward to the rest. Pretty color.

Ooh, i'm loving this colour. I'm living inkvent through you this year as 1. funds are tight and 2. although i love looking at shimmer, i cannot stand it coming off on me in person. Looking forward to this ride :)

Great choices and beautiful pens. Would you recommend the opus 88, how is the nib?

Liking the choices you got this month. I am sad I didn't get to vote. lol Life happens. Winter spice and Vintage copper are my favorites.

I am excited to see your reactions to all the colors. I did a spoiler video, hehe. I want to make it a point to try each and every one in a pen. Even the ones I am not crazy about.

Love that we got two videos today! That Sailor feedback is the best!

beautiful collection, thanks for sharing

When we met with Mike, I tried his Stealth Vanishing Point and liked it. Yesterday, I was able to trade one of my Lamy 2000 pens that I didn’t want anymore with someone on Discord who didn’t want their Stealth VP anymore. I’m so excited! Also, because of trying your Platinum 3776, I decided to trade my extra Pelikan M800 nib (plus I paid some money) for a Platinum 3776 at the Pelikan Hub. I’m very happy with my Platinum 3776 (with a broad nib), so thank you! BTW, the pen I showed you when we met last is an “Alchemist” (I accidentally said “Alchemy”), and it needed fresh ink, so it may not have been writing great when you tried it. Sorry about that!

Great start! I can’t wait to hear more about how you plan to use the inks throughout the year. Will you do an Inkvent favorites video?

Beautiful pen

I just received some Stormy Gray. I’m looking forward to using it. Thanks for sharing. I enjoy these.

I Hope you had a wonderful time with family. Stormy grey looks interesting - maybe I need to look at J. Herbin inks. Not sure if I’m as Brave as you to use shimmer inks in my expensive EF/F pens. The cheap ones, for sure.

Happy Thanksgiving :)

I love these inks and haven’t tried any so I’ll be adding all three to my wishlist 😀😀 I’m currently using Dominant Industry Tuna Grey and loving it. It amazes me how different greys can show up. Thanks for another fun video. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🦃

Congratulations on all your new pens! The Marmo Bianco is still one of my favourite purchases of this year.

Beautiful pen. I’m curious what the “mini” means in the cursive smooth italic. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful ✨

Oooo. I paused my video… did you get the beautiful frosted white with blue nib?!? Ok, watching now! …Nope! lol! Still a brilliant pen!

Beautiful Pen. What ink was used, the transcription did not catch it. Thanks.

All three of your new pens are beautiful. Rachelle in Seattle

Beautiful pen! Thanks for sharing.

This is a stunning pen! I’m so happy for you 🎉

Great new addition to your collection Erin. It’s gorgeous. You should name it.😊

Congrats Erin! Enjoy your new pens, this one is stunning 😍

Wow. You are buying a lot of pens ! 😮

Thank you for doing this!!! I so desperately want to find a dupe for sandstone but nothing is quite like it. The salt marsh I have is much different than the sandstone, yours looks closer!

Erin your choice of inks always makes me so jealous so love that you do these videos so I can learn what inks you have and then I make my list of inks I will then purchase. BPC Saltmarsh on Tomoe is my favorite. I am surprised SM was darker than BPC sandstone. I am definitely going to get Saltmarsh and Ploughman’s Pebble😊

thank u for uploading

Nice addition to your collection ! I have been eyeing that one myself on the Stilo&Stile website, but so far other models have always attracted me more. ;) It‘s good to see that it‘s so different to the Estie Sea Glass, that was one of my reasons not to get the Jade until now. We‘ll see. ;) Oh, and it‘s FU-RO-RE, by the way… so many people call it the Fiore and I slightly cringe each time I hear the word pronounced that way. Not that my Italian is so perfect… 😂

Erin, great video. I love your eye when it comes to what you choose to add to your collection. It’s a happy fountain pen as always, which makes me happy for you.❤😊 Love the color way. What is it currently inked with? Love you’re choice of the Mini Cursive Italic nib grind🎉. I give it a 10 on the nib grind scale🖋️🖋️🖋️🖋️🖋️ 🖋️🖋️🖋️🖋️🖋️ Looking forward to what’s next.

I love Leonardo pens. I got this one last year and its STUNNING!!! Cant wait to see what the rest of what you got looks like ❤

Oooh, did you also get the exclusive Radius from Stilo & Stile? I did (with the Gena Salorino reverse architect!), and I really love it. After trying the Radius I now have a Momento Grande on my wish list. 😊 If you have the Radius, do you find the feel of the pen in your hand similar to a the Leonardos? Looking forward to seeing what else you got on FPD!

I love this color palette! Thank you so much for sharing! ❤
