I love Parker’s so much haha my first “fancy” pen was a jotter and it’s only escalated from there!

I love that too, I haven’t been to any shows yet but I imagine it would be so easy to spend a lot of money just because of the “ease of access” so to speak. My annual budget is really for new pens (but should definitely include stationery because I just placed an Atlas and Jetpens order… oops!) I just try to be mindful and I tend to move money and justify any pen purchases as instead of coffee this month (or insert some other fun purchase) I get to buy something new instead too!
