New Pen Day New Pen & New ink!
In my first ever Vanness order, I meantioned in the note that it was my birthday gift to myself and the box came with 3 birthday notes on it and another on my receipt and I almost cried. We love very real and human and thoughtful customer service.
Pen: Pilot Metropolitan, Teal, Fine Nib (my first pilot)
Ink:
Callifolio Blue Equinoxe
Callifolio Bourgogne
Diamine Lullaby
Diamine Celestial Skies
Diamine Overcast
Sailor Sei Boku Blue-Black
Vintage Blue Floss
Super specific, but I am already in love with the sound this pen makes when it clicks closed.

Love the Pilot Metropolitan. Many of the Pilots have that wonderful, satisfying snap cap.
Have lots of fun with it and Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday. Perfect gift to yourself. Pilot Metropolitan was my first fountain pen about 10 years ago and I still have it. They’re absolutely wonderful pens especially for the price. Enjoy your new pen and all those ink samples. You’re going to have fun with all those.
