KWZ Old Gold / Serendipity Hybrid Dip Pen ~ Day 18 of

No drinks, just inks 😉

🏳‍🌈 Also, Happy Pride Month!! 🏳‍🌈

By Jove, yes, at 2:51 that IS thunder. We are in the middle of a serious heat wave with attending thunderstorms that do not cool temps down, just add humidity. So. Much. Fun.

As to the real topic at hand, these golden browns have such pretty shading! Plus, these KWZ inks smell like heaven, or at least like vanilla.

As previously mentioned, it is likely for the remainder of the month I'll be using the Serendipity Hybrid dip pen because I've simply got too many pens inked to be able to contemplate cleaning them later on to fill more pens, so I'll be using these wonderful dip pens instead. But, unbeknownst to me, there IS some bit of #ASMR from the nib and by me fumbling with notebooks.

Note, my vlogs are not sponsored by anyone / any company: I just like to use Yoseka bags to keep hand oils off the notebook pages when writing ~ if possible. Also, I like the crinkle sound they make.

As always, thank you VERY much for spending some of your time with me: I really appreciate it!
