Playing My Favorite Game: Did I Buy the Same Fountain Pen Ink TWICE?

Today, we are diving into a massive late April and May ink roundup. Despite trying to cut back, a few gorgeous new fountain pens entered the collection (shoutout to the new Esterbrook and the TWSBI Eco Root Beer!), which meant it was time to hunt down the absolute perfect matching ink colors. In this video, we are swatching a beautiful late spring palette dominated by soft pinks, rich emerald greens, moody purples, and a hint of shimmering teal. Then, we play everyone's favorite game: checking my swatch binders to see if I accidentally bought exact duplicates of inks I already own! From stunning multichromatic shaders to intense gold shimmer, let’s see which new arrivals are worth adding to your journaling, planning, and analog stationery routine. 0:00 – Welcome to the Inky Fingers Club! 2:07 – Robert Oster Burgundy Chocolate Notes 2:49 – Dream Inks Battlefield Rose 3:26 – Van Dieman’s Orchid Mantis 3:58 – Van Dieman’s Swan Lake 5:09 – Wearingeul Daddy Longlegs 6:19 – Dominant Industry Harbor of Dieppe 7:58 – Birmingham Pen Co.
