my name is Helen. I love your fountain pen collection. Thank You for sharing. My mother was from Toowoomba Queensland Austrailia. She was a war bride in world war two. My dad was stationed in New Guinie. He was from Benton Illinois but moved north to Rock Falls Illinois. please forgive me for misspelling. I love to watch your videos. I love the way you speak. It reminds me of my mom. Until your next video have a great day.
@@gregoryanderson-g7n hi Helen, lovely to meet you and thank you for sharing a little bit of your mum and dad’s history with me. I’m glad my voice can remind me of your mum 🥰 Toowoomba is about a 3-4 hour drive from where I live, it’s probably much bigger than it was 80+ years ago, it’s almost like a small city these days. Thank you for being here and I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend 😊
A little late to the comments, however I just wanted to say thank you for sharing. I love that you express the individuality of this hobby. It is great that you mention how the writing experience can be amazing regardless of the cost of a pen. We all have different tastes and preferences and this community is so positive and we are all feel so lucky to have you, Jayne.
I am replying to my own comment because TH-cam does not allow links at the top level. It looks like you (and your subscribers) could possibly make use of a spreadsheet to keep track of pen inventories - David Parker (aka: Figboot on Pens) has a great spreadsheet available for people to use: th-cam.com/video/kq_F7lNdvFA/w-d-xo.html (Note: May not be the current version and you may need to do some digging) It might be a bit daunting at first and perhaps tedious to enter the data, but doing a little at a time will hopefully help some people here.
@@storge306 hi Steve, thank you my friend for your encouragement and always being here. You are so right, this hobby has something for everyone, it doesn’t need to be a super expensive pen to enjoy the writing experience. Take care and have a wonderful week my friend 😊
@@fmbrownie2916 hello there and thank you for watching. It’s a collection that has changed over the years due to preferences and use but I’m very grateful for each and every one of them, they all write well. Enjoy the rest of your week 😊
You have a lovely collection of pens. What I enjoy so much about your collection is that you use all your pens. I’m sorry to say that I have some pens in my collection that I have never, or rarely, used and that is so wasteful of me. Next we need to see your collection of inks! 😉
@@Susans_inks_and_drills hi Susan, I’m so glad you enjoyed the video.

What a gorgeous pen collection! 😍 Thank you for sharing! I appreciated your reminder that it can take time to curate a collection like this. As a beginner, I sometimes feel overwhelmed with choice and options, but videos like yours are wonderful for giving me ideas on what I might like to consider in the future. I love your rainbow TWSBI collection - and those Esties! 🥹 They’re so gorgeous and are still on my list of pens to try someday!
@@LittleCocoStudio hello lovely, I’m so glad you found the video helpful and enjoyable. It’s great to take your time with this hobby, tastes and preferences can also change over time. Thank you so much for being here, take care and I hope 2025 is good to you 😊
Lovely collection. We do have several pens alike. Although I’ve purchased high end pens lately, at this point I know what I like. I’m ready to destash many unused pens that have helped to bring me to this point in my fountain pen journey.
@@MarcellHobbs hi Marcy, good to know we are ‘twining’ with some of our pens 😊 I think you are right, you do get a point where you know what will work well for you. Going through all my pens like this has actually got me thinking that I will probably move some of them on, because I’m just not using them as much. Thank you for watching lovely, take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend 😊
It seems like so much more when you put them all together for the final photo. I just love having a variety of pens to use with different inks. Sometimes just looking at the colors of the pens especially custom pens the colors are so beautiful. I just got an Alaskan sunrise resin pen. It's gorgeous and I look forward to spring and summer
@@christinemcgregor9970 hi Christine, enjoy your Alaskan Sunrise, it’s such a beautiful resin isn’t it. I’m glad I have found another kindred spirit when it comes to having a variety of pens inked up! They say variety is the spice of life 😊 Thank you so much for watching, I hope you have a great weekend 😊
@@bootsmama1027 thank you for always being here and being supportive. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I feel very fortunate to have what I have. Take care and hope you are keeping well 😊
Saw your post from Instagram and came to watch it immediately! Love your collection so much! I tried my best to keep count by writing them down with my Pelikan M605 Stresemann as the video goes along :D 16 Twsbi, 12 Given, 9 Justturnings, 9 JinHao, 5 Sailor, 5 Kaweco, 5 Pilot, 4 Lamy, 3 Esterbrook, 2 Leonardo, 2 Benu, 2 Pelikan, 2 Visconti, 2 Montblanc, 1 Waterman, 1 Opus88, 1 RiverCityPenCompany, 1 Platinum, 1 Traveller's Company, 1 Franklin Christoph, 1 Majohn, 1 Wingsung and 1 Daiso. Sorry, guess even writing it down is not helping as I did not get the numbers right 😂Anyways, I really enjoyed watching this video ❤ Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
Hi there, thank you so much for watching, following along and counting! I was hoping someone would be LOL ;) I'm pretty happy with the mix of pens I have, another thing I really love about this hobby is that there is something for everyone :) Take care and have a great weekend!
Hello. I just found your channel. You've got a lovely collection. The thing i enjoyed most was when you made personal adjustments to the pens. You showed a little Moonman after your Cross Botanical. I have both of those as well. (And lots of the others in common too). My moonman ended up with a vintage 14kt Conklin nib from a pen that leaked. I couldn't part with the nib. One of my Rangas has the #15 Pilot nib from a custom 823. Like you I've been doing this a while. My first fountain pen was a Parker in 1970 when I was a child. Back then there was no internet and limited information. Thanks for sharing your hobby.
@@robbinallan3767 hi Robbin, thank you so much for watching. It’s a fun process working out what works and what doesn’t isn’t it. Sounds like we are twining with some of our pens! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Hope you have a wonderful week 😊
@@fifietdee that is such lovely feedback to receive, thank you 🙏🏻 and thank you so much for watching. I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend and have a great week 😊
What's up Jayne! I happened to be counting since you mentioned it. I counted 87 pens. 12:03 - My first pen with the LAMY Safari in Yellow. I still have it too. I enjoy writing with LAMY's. I have my eye on perhaps 1 Mont Blanc in the future. I really think that after I get a pen like that, I should retire and go into the mountains and write til my hearts content with that thing. 😁 Well it's 7:30pm Sunday and your voice put me to sleep. 🥱Watch me wake up as soon as I lay down.💜
This was a fun video🎉It was really interesting to see your amazing collection. I would be interested to see maybe a top 10 of your favourite in the price ranges. For example, under $ 20, under $50 over $100 something like that. If you feel like it. I am always amazed how incredibly smooth the Pilot Kakuno nibs are, they are such a joy to write with. Your Just Turnings "Elvenwood " was my favourite from the Just Turnings pen. Your latest Mont Blanc pocket pen looks beautiful 😍🙋🏼♀️💛
@@tanjablume6343 hello my friend, that is a great idea for a video, thank you for the suggestion 😊 I hope you have a wonderful week and thank you so much for watching 😘

Lovely collection Jayne. I just acquired a vintage (circa 1973ish) Montblanc 146 and agree, it is just a beautiful writer. Have a wonderful weekend my friend.
@@Tina.Journals thank you for watching my friend. Enjoy your new pen, it sounds like a beauty. I finished writing an updated letter for you last night. Hoping to get it all in the post this coming week 😘
Hello!! Finally back to some decent wifi (haha) and can watch your video! I received your letter today - I did beat it home. I got my first Jinhao 82 on Monday (special grind from FP Aus Chris and I love love love it). In sad news I dropped one of my Kakuno’s before I left and the nib is now scratchy as - I have another and have been so pleasantly surprised by how amazing they write - so smooth!
@@suista hi Suzanne, welcome back! Oh that is sad about your Kakuno 😢 They are great little writers. What was the grind you got on your Jinhao? You will have to write and tell me all about it 😊
Thanks for showing your collection. I enjoy these videos. Franklin Christoph usually puts the model number on the cap. It can be a little hard to see, but it might be engraved going around the cap.
@@FranM6179 hello Fran, thank you for that, I’ll have to check. I do have it written down as well somewhere. Hope you are keeping well. Take care and thank you so much for watching 😊
Beautiful collection! I agree with the Pilot E95S gorgeous pen, nib (mine is in fine) writes like a dream! I lost count 😜 I’m with you on Montblanc fountain pens, beautiful writers. Waterman I’ve had a few months another one stunning pen. Here’s to a New Year enjoying our hobby!
@@fountainpensinksmore3290 hi Jane, yes Montblancs and Waterman’s are beautiful writers! I think there is something for everyone in this hobby, so much variety 😊
Just getting into this hobby which my first pen is the Lamy .Just love all your pens any advice will be greatly appreciated.Keep up the good work any time you come to the Gold Coast love to catch up over a cuppa .
@@jackiemcewen5169 hi Jackie, welcome to the rabbit hole of fountain pens and inks 😂 You have picked a great pen to start with. You may already know this, but you can buy different nibs for your Lamy which gives you an idea of what you like and how they respond to different inks. The only issue I have had with my Lamy’s is that they do not respond well with shimmer inks. Enjoy your new pen, happy writing and I hope we get to meet in real life one day 😊
@@jppenandink Thankyou for replying & for the advice . I have ordered the Kaweco brass pen if its ok with you I let you know what I think of this pen.🙂
