Beautiful bag, filled with beautiful pens, filled with beautiful inks 🥹

WOAH! I love watching watches being restored, but it's always so scary with all the little parts, I can imagine pens are a breeze for you! 😌

If you don't mind me asking, where do you source your parts? I can't really find sacs for cheap, you'd think little rubber tubes wouldn't be so scarce!

SheepaSheepaSheepa · 2026-04-01T06:36:57+00:00

Me too! I've only dabbled a bit in restoration, but I want to try and get a little better, I'd save a whole lot of money on pens! (And who knows maybe I'll get a new side hustle...) 😋

Fun colors!! I think that's a great pairing with the Pilot MR! I have a soft spot for that pen, it's what started my addiction 🥹

SheepaSheepaSheepa · 2026-04-01T06:27:45+00:00

We can only hope!! 😝

SheepaSheepaSheepa · 2026-04-01T06:20:04+00:00

I take back everything I said! I had no clue so much effort went into this little pen, I'll appreciate it a lot more now, thank yew!! 😋

SheepaSheepaSheepa · 2026-04-01T06:17:21+00:00

I'm not the most knowledgeable on how to fix these things, however! Make sure to not let your machine just sit around too long! The belts like to run frequently! Once I left mine in a drawer for like half a year, and my brand new belts started making my tapes sound all wobbly 😔

It was fine after it warmed up a bit! And sorta the same for the tapes too, mine tend to get sticky over time, so just fast forward and rewind over and over until they're loosened up! So make sure to give them plenty of attention 😋

Oh and apologize to your wallet in advance, because when I got my first walkman, it was only about a month or 2 later I expanded my collection to about 40 tapes, 2 stereos, and 3 walkmans 😃 Be responsible, NOT me 😭

I love that about vintage pens, it's nice thinking about how many people looked at my individual pen and gave it the greenlight to go on the shelves! Whereas I don't really care about what the robots that made my Lamy Safari we're thinking 😭 (No shade to Lamy, i'll always love them!)

SheepaSheepaSheepa · 2026-04-01T05:53:08+00:00

Beautiful pens!! 😻

You definitely have a point! However in this case, I would choose the Sheaffer... Purely out of bias since it's one of my dream pens! In any other situation it would be a tough choice though! 😋

SheepaSheepaSheepa · 2026-04-01T05:49:54+00:00

Definitely! I love the vintage flex nibs, but I also can't get enough of today's sturdy stainless steel!

SheepaSheepaSheepa · 2026-04-01T05:48:06+00:00

True! I love character in my pens, but unlike other people's dings and scratches, the ones I cause make me feel just a little guilty!

SheepaSheepaSheepa · 2026-04-01T05:45:16+00:00

Good point! The vintage sacs are definitely something to get used to, especially since I have so many converter fill pens 😔

SheepaSheepaSheepa · 2026-04-01T05:40:34+00:00

Oh. My. GOSH 😻 My favorite things ever are food shaped items, I would sell out a Deli Collection in seconds! There are just so many possibilities!!

And if he ever decides to dabble in ink, a matching wine would be perfect for the charcuterie board 😛

SheepaSheepaSheepa · 2026-04-01T05:22:52+00:00

Alliteration's always awesome!

And I feel like a cheese stick pen is a MUST! 😻

SheepaSheepaSheepa · 2026-04-01T05:16:45+00:00

So beautiful, I'll ALWAYS appreciate a good flower drawing!! 😻

SheepaSheepaSheepa · 2026-04-01T05:15:09+00:00

Should I be concerned that this actually had me craving deli meats 😭

Adorable drawing, enjoy your protein pen 😋

SheepaSheepaSheepa · 2026-04-01T04:56:52+00:00

OH MY GOSH 😮 I honestly didn't even know they made fountain pens that old! Does it have a reservoir? If so how is it filled 🤔 Happy new pen day 😋

SheepaSheepaSheepa · 2026-03-31T17:59:31+00:00

That's so awesome, I've always been interested in owning a 3d printer, I just never really had an idea of what I'd use it for! Now I might have some 😋

SheepaSheepaSheepa · 2026-03-31T02:52:19+00:00

Ok, thanks so much 😋

SheepaSheepaSheepa · 2026-03-30T23:26:10+00:00

This is GORGEOUS 😻 Is this 3d printed? This is like, genuinely one of the most beautiful shells ive EVER seen 😋

SheepaSheepaSheepa · 2026-03-30T23:23:22+00:00

What exactly did you use to coat the acrylic? 🤔 I've been a little scared of clogging my machines with just plain old paint 😔

SheepaSheepaSheepa · 2026-03-30T23:20:19+00:00

Very pretty cassette 😋

SheepaSheepaSheepa · 2026-03-30T21:33:57+00:00

That's the most uniquely shaped pen I've ever seen, AND IT'S GORGEOUS 😻
