Loved seeing everything you brought back! I can’t wait to see the ones in more detail, you have some stunners in there!! 😊

The Eboya x Bungubox is so much more vibrant and stunning under the light than it was in the dingy lobbies. Love your haul!

What a wonderful retirement remembrance. All of the pens are awesome. That Zodiac Pen is awesome. It is great that Leonardo tunes the nib. Thanks for sharing them and telling the stories behind them.

It was nice meeting you at the show. I like you was walking around Sunday to get vendor stamps. You got some great ones.
Thanks for sharing your purchases. You did great!
I hope to see you in St Louis 2027.
Yes your SFPS prep was great. A friend shared your video and I then I share it.

Getting to sit and chat with you (and Simone and Marina) in the Aloft lobby was one of the highlights of my time this year. It was such a warm, welcoming moment amongst pen friends and exactly what I needed that Saturday afternoon. Your pen acquisitions look exquisite together, especially those Leonardos! I've also been trying to add to my paper collection so I made note of the ones you grabbed from Yamamoto Paper for next time I see them. I got the build-your-own memo pad box with five different papers when I saw them at Stationery Fest, but it was so hard to choose. I have that clear hardcover zipper case and putting your fountain pen inks in there for safe-keeping is genius! Might have to steal that one next time around. 😊

Of all of them, I like the Zodiac pen the best… I have one of Bart’s creations and it is a dream writer… glad. You had such a lovely time.

You scored some real treasures there. I recently got a SeY pen too and exploring options to upgrade the nib. Look forward to seeing what you do with it. Thank you for sharing your haul!

Great selections! I love your Eboya collaboration. It shows so much depth and movement. The story makes it more meaningful. Are the Hazelnut and Tiger Eye Leonardos exclusives?

Very nice selection of pens. When you said the Custom 845 is younger,I don’t know if you meant the Custom 845 is a more recent product than the Custom Urushi, but the Custom 845 was introduced in 2002 and is the older of the two as far as I know, as the Pilot Custom Urushi was released in 2016.

I look forward to seeing more about those pens, nibs, and inks in the future videos. The Kobe palette you picked looks very nice. That’s a good idea to give them a list of the inks you want. I have been trying to get Bungubox L’Amant at the SF show but it was sold out in last two years. Finally got it this year.
