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.

Doing some plotting for a book I’m writing and perhaps some letter writing! Oh, and pen cleaning, lots of pen cleaning.

I didn’t know that FPD was a thing until today. I love my TWSBIs, but I’m always interested in trying new pens.

Oops! I forgot to mention my favorite fountain pen. It’s the Montblanc La Petite Prince (brown) that my friend bought for my birthday in June (from Pen Boutique, of course!)

I have far too many “favourite fountain pens” :) but I’ll be using a couple of recent favourites on Fountain Pen Day —-a Benu ‘Euphoria’ in the lovely “Bora Bora” material and a Narwhal ‘Schuykill’ “Porpita” Ltd. Edition. Happy FP Day, everyone!

It might be cliche, or even passe at this point, but my favorite fountain pen is my Lamy 2000. It punches way above its pricetag in terms of quality, and it’s overengineered like a German tank. Thing is a beast.

I have shopped for pens and inks and accessories on Fountain Pen Day. I’ve found it to be fun. The discounts are great and the celebration is something I look forward to all year.

gave my usual suspects a little TLC (full clean for ink) and decided to try something new – the sailor 1911L with a music nib…a huge thanks to the Pen Boutique staff for the pen reaching me in time.

As a student I really try to get any sale on fountain pens and inks. Often I see them as gifts for myself. How many gifts have I given myself in the last couple of months? definetly too many. My favourite one definetly has to be the Platinum Preppy. It’s such an odd one, but I carry it always with me. So it has to be this pen. Even though I take care of my other pens way more ;)

Monteverde Regatta in Mother of Pearl is stunning with the rose gold trim. It has become my favorite. What a beautiful fountain pen.

I have several favorite fountain pens including the Osprey Milano. Honestly, my ride or die is any TWSBI, any size nib! They are just a dream to write with.

My favorite fountain pen is Pilot Custom 74 and I ink it up with Noodler’s Ottoman Rose, my favorite ink🥰 It’s so elegant, I love it! I’ve started college recently so today I forgot my pencase at hone and had to write with a rollerball and I missed the feeling of a fountain pen. They feel so wholesome and you have such a variety of inks to choose from! I’m cravig for another color of Custom 74 but I can’t choose!😂

This is my very first fountain pen day and I’m excited to be here! :) I’ve been in the FP hobby for about half a year. My favorite pen is the Pelikan M600 Bright Orange (it’s my favorite color!).

I plan on writing with my favorite fountain pen, my Leonardo Momento Zero Grande Girasole with a broad nib! I’m hoping to get a couple small things that I’ve needed for a while too, like some more paper, pen sleeves, and inks!
