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.

I snagged a Pineider Alchemist 14kt Nib Kilauea Blue (F) and a Visconti Homo Sapiens Lava Blue Ultramarine (F). These are both grail pens!

This fountain pen day I’ve found a very good deal on notebooks that use Tomoe River Paper. So I will be giving journals and Lamy Safaris to my nieces and nephews for Christmas, hopefully it will start them off on the fountain pen trail.

My favorite pen? That’s so hard. I think it’s got to be my Sailor Pro Gear Slim “Hawaiian Ripe” :)

My favorite fountain pen is the Sailor 1911L. The 21k nibs are great. I plan to join several great raffles from online stores (including Pen Boutique!) today.

This is my first Fountain Pen Day, though not my first year with fountain pens! I didn’t learn about FPD until after I had blown my budget, though, so mostly I’m just admiring pens and noting down ideas.

I think I’d have a hard time choosing my favorite pen, truth be told! I do love the kaweco as a beginner fountain pen, and all of the BENU brand pens I’ve bought have been beautiful and wonderful to use.

I have so many fountain pens both vintage and new; I can’t choose a favorite!! I received my first one from my grandfather when I was a child. He used it when HE was a youngster!!

Worked extra hours on my birthday earlier this week so FP Day is an excuse to celebrate. Ordered a mystery box as a gift to myself. I wonder what I am getting.

To answer the prompt, my favorite fountain pen is probably my Pilot VP.
All I do on fountain pen day is salivate over all the really nice pens I still can’t afford. Oh well. I guess I’ll have to buy myself a bottle of ink as consolation!

A single favorite? That’s hard… right now I’m loving my Kaweco Lilput Brass. The small size with just a little weight and smooth nib are just wonderful.

I have a family member who is an avid fountain pen collector and user. The marbled Esterbrook reminds me of a marbled composition book from my youth.
