We have 31 KZfaqrs doing a video this year! One for each day of March and maybe into April if others want to join in. If you think you would be interested, fill out the google form linked below.
Playlist #8PenQuestions One-Year Anniversary Hop • #8penquestions One-Yea...
As a reminder here are the 8 Questions:
1. When and how did your Fountain Pen Journey begin?
2. Favorite inks in the beginning? What are your go-to inks now?
3. How have your ink and pen tastes changed over time?
4. Are there inks & pens that you have yet to try but would like to?
5. What is your Holy Grail Pen?
6. How many pens do you currently own?
7. Do you have a limit on pens (or inks) in your collection? Is it a number? Is it a feeling? When do you know that you have reached your maximum?
8. Consequently, what would you do if another pen/ink came along?
If you have any questions, please reach out or join Seemownay's discord where we have a channel dedicated to this hop: / discord

Loved hearing about your fountain pen journey. It's so awesome that the original 8Questions video was your very first - what a fantastic circle to be able to be a part of! 😍😍😍

It is pretty cool! I wish I had been able to take more time with it, but that isn't my life.

Love your collection and so glad that you pushed through after so many takes! I also love the fact that many of your pens are pre-loved.

Hey Shauna - I‘m really glad that you kept on making videos after hitting 5! I certainly enjoy them. I‘d love to try some of the BPC inks too, but it‘s hard living in Europe. The Esterbrook Cosmic Wine OS is beautiful. Thank you for the video - it was fun as always!

I should have sent you samples of Pennsylvania Fieldstone and Sandstone! You interested? I can send them with April's budget.

I see no reason to pay retail. I feel better buying second-hand for most of my hobbies.

I realized I watched your video a month ago, liked it, but never subscribed! Thank you for commenting on my video so I could hop over here and do that. I love that you buy mostly second hand pens. I like to shop around for good used deals too. Makes the hobby a little easier 😂❤

"I hope I don't hear about it" lol .... yes I can relate!!!! It's impossible for me to not "hear" about new pens and inks but I like the idea of building some rules or criteria ... I mean not this year because my budget is too tight to allow for buying extra pens and inks. :) I enjoyed your video very much!

@cerealnana 4 ай бұрын

I really shouldn't be buying pens and inks but I just panic bought one when another one broke! It was with funds from selling a pen so I am not too made at myself.

Great video as usual Shauna. I can't believe it has been a year already! I spent the entire video drooling at your esties sat there next to each other. I think that two more esties are on my horizon! 😂

Those are some gorgeous pens! I think you have the Estie that I've been admiring from afar for a while. 🤩 I do the same thing with breakfast, by the way. I go through phases where I'll eat the same thing every day for years, and then suddenly, I'll get sick of it and decide that I never want to have that for breakfast again. I'm currently (still) in my toast, butter and jam phase.

Thank you! I can't justify spending that much money on new pens from the big manufacturers when they often come up on BST. Especially ones with swappable nibs. I am willing to buy new from the indie pen makers, but that does not happen often.

Wow Shauna, 150 videos in one year. I think that is rock star status for at that time being a beginner. It's still rock star status I would thing for a experienced person. Glad you stuck to it. you should definitely try and get the pro Gear. I don't think it's that much larger than the PGS, but it does make the world of difference.

@cerealnana 4 ай бұрын

I need to find a Pro Gear I'm attracted to. I liked the look of the Imperial Black but have been told the nib feels weird. I don't need weird nibs in my life.
