FOUNTAIN PEN DAY:
Taking place on 1st Friday of November every year, it is a day to remind and rejoice the use of fountain pen. Fountain pen experts try to promote this fountain pen to the newbies and also those who are skeptics of fountain pen.
Fountain pen Dealers try to promote fountain pens and often it is also called the "Black Friday" of the Fountain Pen World. Many deals come and fountain pen lovers flock and splurge on the fountain pen. Many even do an early Christmas shopping of the fountain pen and inks and vow that they will only open this as a gift on the Christmas. How many succeed it is a mystery!!! I know that I am a failure!!! I end up using some ink and especially the Diamine ink vent calendar, I control a lot but then eventually I succumb as I want to know how the ink looks like!!
What are you up-to this fountain pen day?
thank you
sincerely
Leena.

Current FP love is my Cross Wanderlust-Antelope Canyon. Pairs perfectly with fuyu-gaki and life in red rock country of northern Arizona!

My current fave is a Platinum Kanazawa Maki-e. I have two, one in fine point and the other in medium. The Medium is an absolute joy, both to write with, and to look at. I love the Autumn Leaves design!

Testing out some inks and picking a color theme for the rest of November. Reds, oranges, and Yellow/Browns are winning out.

My favorite pen currently is a toss-up between my TWSBI Eco and my Lamy AL-Star. I use the Eco for taking notes during the day and the AL-Star for journaling in the evening. Both great pens and I love cycling between them!

I received my first fountain pen as a gift at the age of 16. I fell in love since then and still own it. Until now, age 35, I bought my first fountain high-end fountain pen. I’m excited to see if I Win one from the contest. I can’t wait to grow my collection to teach my children the beauty of using one.

I’ve been waiting to get a Lamy 2k, figured NFPD would be a great time for that. Now I’m just waiting for my shipping notification.

I have 2 equal favorite pens: Pelikan Star Ruby in EF and a Sailor Pro Gear Slim Nebula, in EF. I could not choose between them, so they are co-equal-number-1 😁

Fountain Pen day should be a much bigger event!! I’m a pen addict, Pen Boutique has played a large role in my addiction!! Then they have to have great sales and great deals. Not to mention Leena has a heart of gold!! She has a wonderful family that always gives back to the community and less fortunate. Makes Pen Boutique my favorite place to feed my addiction.

I appreciate the passion and care the PenBoutique Team has towards its customers. I started using fountain pens about 5 years ago (before that, I used to use my fountain pen on special occasions only), but I love using my pens all the time now. It’s really great to see fountain pens be celebrated!

Love Pen Boutique! I got my first few fountain pens from you. I always recommend this online shop because customer service is excellent! I called in when purchasing my first pen because I had no idea about nib sizes and staff was so friendly and helpful. And thanks to your using affirm I was able to get my beloved Montblanc!

I just love how wholesome and supportive the entire fountain pen community is. Yes, we all have different tastes, preferences, and price ranges, but we celebrate those differences rather than denigrate them. <3

It’s too hard to name a favorite pen. Fountain Pen Day will be excellent for picking up some gifts for family members. I have 2 nephews who are really into fountain pens and another who uses them for drawing.

The Kagero special edition was my introduction to Pen Boutique and to the Sailor 1911L, both are now my favorites: Attractive, reliable & a pleasure to work with.

Dear Leena et alia,
My favourite pen is whatever one I’m using — except for that one in my case that I haven’t used for a while or that one I just remembered I’ve been meaning to ink so it doesn’t feel neglected…
What I have inked right now is a Narwhal Las Coloradas, a couple Franklin-Christophs, a TWSBI swipe, and a Sailor Autumn Rain.
I hopped on the Inkdepence Friday Chat where Mike Matteson scrolled through the Pen Boutique offerings and got out in the beautiful Fall weather to prune trees before tomorrow’s Fall foliage pick up (I hope they’ll take my chopped up branches).
And of course, I have been e-shopping.
I hope everyone is doing well and enjoyed FPD10!

Fountain pens are one of the greatest joys of my life. It’s always fun to see the great selection at Pen Boutique. When Covid is over, perhaps I can see the pens in person.
