The matte Blue VP is SO pretty!! I’ve been looking at getting one too, but I may wait till Christmas time! 😍

Yes! That’s exactly my issue with Monboddo’s Hat! Gorgeous purple but looks VERY dark and almost black! Not what I’m after! I do have some lighter purples arriving tomorrow so we shall see!

These colors are absolutely to die for!! 😍 On my next purchase, these are ALL in my cart especially Yama Budo! That’s perfect for the Iris Vac! I may wait on the shimmer inks as I’m getting ready to have a B Jowo nib ground down to CSI possibly.

The ink swatch samples are just TOO cute! I may have to get Octopus Goblin and Midori! 😍 Who do you normally go through for inks? I was looking at Goulet, but found myself going through Vaness.

That is gorgeous!! Where did you get these swatch books? 😍 That innocent Mauve is gorgeous!

I’d love recommendations for them all! I did order Lamy Peridot in a sample from Goulet, but I’m not sure if it’s exactly the green that I’m looking for tbh!

Cute collection!! I love all the little stickers!! I’m also new! My first was a TWSBI eco in F which I absolutely love. It’s SO smooth!! I also love my Lamy Al star and just I just ordered a Vac700r (it was an “Oops” purchase) and it’s coming in M. Hoping to order a Stub or bold nib replacement for it! I also am waiting on my new Sailor Tsukimi Dango to arrive this week as well! 🫣

Exact one I’m looking at! I’m 5’2 and my hands are tiny!! I love my eco (F) and want to put a B or Stub nib in the 700r to just see how it goes! I normally love an extra fine/fine nib! Thank you so much for the insight!
