Love ya, friend! <3 This is so sweet. The mount fuji strawberry cookie is also my fav! It's so kawaii hehe. Here's to a future Japan stationery trip together #manifesting lol

Would love to know where your friend found the gourd brass tag online.

Omg, how lucky you are!! Here in Mexico this things are even more expensive than in the usa!!!

Oh my, that green tea insert is dreamy! I wish they sold more of their products here in the states. 😢

I like it, Where did you get it from ?

The studio ghibli pen! Ahhh I love the soot sprites, so cute!

Yes, you do have to match your ink with your pen! 😮❤

Going to my first this august.

Pretty

Congratulations on your new baby! Lovely video! Thank you for sharing.

Love that ink combo with your new TWSBI! And I hear you on the TRC stickers lol - I think I need another to hoard too 😂😍 Love your videos!!!

I bought the sterling ink N2 just to put this cover to use! 🤣 but then again I reasoned with myself that the TN size I’m having is too heavy :X

What did you think of the ink?!

I saw the fountain inks and that brown fountain ink you kept dipping.where did you get that one and it doesn't link like a fountain pen very interested to try one.

I don't usually like Hobonichi's own covers. The plastic look is not my thing and the cartoony art style rubs me the wrong way. There are only two official Hobonichi covers that I've liked. The first one is the liberty fabric you have. If I was in a need of a wallet I would be googling does it exist in an A6, because that would be the perfect wallet size for me. (un)fortunately I do have a good wallet so no need to spend money on that. The second one is the Tragen. The moment I saw it I was obsessed with it. I just planner hopped last week from a weeks to an Hobonichi A6 Hon and the need/want to get a Tragen for it was so strong. Luckily I came to my senses and only bought the A6 Hon. I've given my self permission that If stick with the Hon and want to use it for next year I can buy the cover. Hopefully by then there are more colours. A teal one would be a dream. Thank you so much for sharing your haul. For how popular these seem to be I've not seen many KZfaq videos about them. I hope you give some updates on how you have liked using it later on. And as another pet owner I would love to know how much of an annoyance it is with a shedding animal.

Great haul!

I really like your Tragen cover. I hope they come out with more color options in the future. I enjoyed seeing your JetPens haul. Thanks for sharing!

Why buy specific notebooks for journalling? I've got journal entries dating back over 30 years. I use my filofax and store in folders. Works and am not held to following the rules set by the journal manufacturer!

1:09 ....that Shaeffer Balance looks like my buddys _Wing Sung 626_ Fountain pen. Cool wow...that looks like a great time...thank you for sharing.

Do you have a mini photo printer that you recommend?

What do you print your photos with for memory keeping?

I like this!

I hadn’t used my journal in a year so I gave away my stickers, I decided I didn’t want to use them anymore,well I treated myself to a LV pocket agenda and what did I do…bought more stickers, mini ones because this agenda is about the size of pocket calendar. I don’t like the weeks insert so next year I’ll find something that can fit into it that I will use more.

I am not sure if it would help but maybe try a different nib for your Estie? I have an elastic fine and I am in love with it!!

I bought many washi tapes from Korea in 2023 😅 and omg never thought one would have a jamstudio organizer 😍😍😍😍

New subbie from Ireland ❤❤❤❤

❤❤❤❤❤❤

The day free Hobonichi (I use the cousin a5 for my planner) with a blank Hobonichi journal in the same cover has been working great for me, because I also cannot handle the missed dates. I’m going to get the blank a6 notebook in a cover (already have from years ago) to carry in my purse, because my cousin is WAY too heavy to lug around.

You should try London Gifties if you haven’t already! 😊 I’ve been ordering hers for years along w some other brands.

My TWSBI have all been great n I have 17

Such a tasteful, sweet wee Roterfaden! I too recently received the B6 size (olive) to join my Roter-collection (that includes an A4 and an A5 Slim)-so yes, I’m in some serious taschenbegleiter trouble! With shared interests in Midori, Hobonichi and collecting fountain pens, we clearly have some kindred spirituality going on! 🤜🏼 🤛🏼. Thanks for this informed and well-conceived video-with more, I hope, to come, please and thank you.

Take a look at Wonderland 222 planners.

You an also change the nib!

Did you know you can return scratchy pens or send them to a nib moister to tune them up..?

2023 was the year I went overboard in purchasing stationary items. I bought too many washi's and other supplies. 2024 will be a no buy/low buy year, as far as stationary. I want to use what I have. I do not plan on purchasing another Traveler's Limited Edition Notebook, as I bought the Diner edition and have yet to use it. I have two favorite purchases which are customizing my Traveler's Notebook with Baum Kuchen and I gifted myself a Nanala Designs Traveler's Notebook Cover and Nanala Fountain Pen Case, for my 3 year breast cancerversary. I love Nanala's craftsmanship.

I just found your channel and subscribed

For your Esterbrook Botanical Garden pen it sounds like you need to get the nib smoothed out. Have you tried mylar mesh to see if that will help?

Meanwhile, I like almost all of your stickii club stickers and I dislike all my PET tapes-I *WANT* to like them, I just don’t. 😅

Great video! So helpful.I have def made some bad purchases on my end lol :P

I purchased the Esterbrook in a scribo nib too, it was so scratchy! I took it to Kirk Speer at Pen Realm, he worked on it and now it’s awesome!

With regards to the FWP ink, if you enjoy the base color but not the shimmer aspect of it, I recommend filling from the bottle without pre-shaking or agitating it beforehand so you don't get any of the shimmer in your pen!

I got an Estie with an EF nib and decided I wanted a bigger nib, so I just bought a replacement nib unit. They're something like $25-30 and totally worth it for such a beautiful pen (I also got the botanical gardens pen and lurve it).

what printer do you use to print out your photos that you put in your A6?

Not sure I am ready to separate my 2023 purchases into best and worst but one thing I disliked in 2023 was buying too much. I came to realize that if I have too much stationary, I find it cumbersome, overwhelming…. So for 2024 my goal is to use up what I have before buying new things…

The design of your Esterbrook reminds me of a Ranga Pen. I dont know if you have particular country preferences to buy your pens but Ranga Pens is one of the most well known India based fountain pen brands. Peyton Street Pens also carries their acrylic pens if you want to take a look. Theyve got an acrylic with the exact colorway of your Esterbrook.

Enjoyed your video! Thought I would share that you can easily switch your nib on you twisbi min! You can purchase your preferred size and it’s super easy to switch it up , I watched a KZfaq video to guide me. Any twisbi diamond 580 has the ability to interchange nibs.

You can get a replacement nib from Esterbrook for $30 or just a standard Jowo #6 nib unit for that Esterbrook. Should twist right out.

pen rave :' )

I love my Roterfadens! I have them in A5 but definitely want to get a B6! Your cover is beautiful!

Thank you so much for this great video! I’ve spent SO MUCH TIME finding the travel notebook size I want and landed on B6 but then finding a good cover seemed so daunting. This video led me to the place that had EVERY OPTION AND COLOR I wanted. Brassy and Co should sponsor this video and give you some sort of kick back.
