Hello from the UK! :) ...I've become obsessed!!

[TinkerInk]

Hi! 

 

Recently wandered across here whilst I was looking at ink differences and thought I'd make a little account! I'm Emma, from the UK and have recently fallen in love with Fountain Pens and everything about them. I wanted one a few years ago but never got round to it, until I got my first one (Lamy Safari - Aquamarine) and have fallen in love ever since. I suppose when you start a new obsession, you fall very hard 🤪

 

Have always been a lover of all things stationary way back since Primary school (saving the pennies for a new set every new school year!) and its carried on ever since, I've also been Bullet Journaling for the past 5 years and it's what keeps me sane! 

 

Hope to speak to some of you soon! 😊

Hello Emma and welcome

[Dusted]

Welcome. I just joined as well. It seems like a good resource.

Welcome Emma, I’m fairly new too and learning the nuances of fountain pens all the time, apparently the London Pen Show is still going ahead on 25th July if that helps you to immerse further! 

[TinkerInk]

Hello all! Thanks for the response, lovely to speak to you and the warm welcome, looking forward to being part of this ever growing community! 🥰
 

I did see that the show was still going ahead! If all goes to plan, I may just visit!

Hello Emma, greetings and welcome. Your encounter with the FPN sounds just like mine - google a random pen-related question, and most of the answers come from here! There is expertise on the FPN that will amaze you. Be warned: you are at the top of a slippery slope into a number of deep rabbit holes (allow me to mix metaphors please!) - but the greatest of fun.

Couldn't agree more! Especially with the fun part. There is just so much to learn and appreciate about these things and the people that go with them.
