I recently hit a big landmark birthday (sigh… the wrinkles are coming), and, being blessed with the love of The Man, who knows me so well, I got one of the best presents ever – a brand new Montblanc fountain pen! A thing of pure exquisite beauty. So whilst enjoying the delights of my newest pen, I started to reminiss about the other pens I have loved in the past, and had a rummage in my stationery cupboard to find said pens! And, after a thorough clean, I have got most of them working, with the exception of one – so here they are!
Despite all these wonderful pens, my handwriting and spelling is still embarrassingly horrendous – so apologies if you can’t read any of it!
What’s your favourite type of pen?
WOW you really love pens, I’m glad you like your birthday present. xxx
I love pens too and am lucky to have a Montblanc Mozart as well. I also love the green ink.
Excellent! It is my favourite by far, but there never seems enough opportunity to write with it!
I love pens! I need to figure out things as well as you did, my pen thoughts are so haphazard 🙂

I’ve always loved pens too, and suddenly realised I have a mini collection! I tend to purge the bic’s and other biros as I don’t handwrite enough anyway, and it feels like a waste to write with a pen that I don’t love! 🙂
My current favorite is my steel Lamy Logo fountain pen, although my Mont Blanc comes in a close second. I also love my unnamed chinese rollerball pen a teacher once gave me as a graduation gift. ^_^
Your Mont Blanc and Yard-O-Led pencils are very beautiful!
Thanks! There is always something special about a pen that is a gift! I’ve just this moment remembered a pen I have tucked away somewhere that my grandmother gave me that she had engraved with my name – I have a lot of love for that one – I’ll hunt it out and photograph it!
Happy belated birthday!
Love your pen collection… I don’t think I could ever write with a fountain pen (too clumsy for them) but I do love looking at them – so pretty!
Thank you! You should give them a go! As you can see my writing is fairly horrendous!
I never thought of using coloured ink in my fountain pen! I always go for black, but that olive green is wonderful…
Oh it’s wonderful! I don’t know where abouts you are, but in the uk, WHSmiths has coloured ink for fountain pens!
Happy belated birthday! What a lovely collection of writing instruments. And as for your handwriting…I think it’s beautiful!
Thank you! I certainly know it isn’t readable a lot of the time as I struggle myself!
Nice Post.Thanks for sharing your website.
Aaw love this! We’re lucky to have partners who understand our love for stationary haha.
The POSCAs are what I use for painting my headphones but I find them so finicky that I’m upgrading to some very illusive pens by Molotow.
As far as simple disposables go I’m really into using my Pilot FriXion – erasable rollerball gel? Yes please! It’s great for writing on my student’s work, easy to erase.
Sadly mine ran out on Sunday, its like losing an arm haha.
Ahh the tragedy of running out of ink – usually happens to me in the train!
