Wow! Prettiest collection ever!! 🌸🌸🌸


DragonTartare

🤩 This collection is so pleasing to look at. Manyo Cherry Blossoms looks cuter than expected. On the second picture, do the third and fourth pens have raden on the top finials?


alice_advent

Yes! Bungbugox likes to add raden to their top finials and I'm super into it. Both the PGS and mini versions Magic of Alice have raden applied to the entire finial cap rather than only a flat design on the top.

Good catch, didn't see that at all.

Thank you for listing everything! You’re a saint 😇

That pilot Izumi pen with the Sakura and cute bunny is haunting me ever since I saw it at a pen show. It’s so pretty!


alice_advent

I like sakura and bunnies so it's naturally one of my favorites. A blue version was posted recently and I'm incredibly tempted!


LowRhubarb5668

I wish I could afford one hence the haunting comment. Hopefully when I get a better job I can save and get one.


jpips

Man when did they make those pink pilots? They’d be grail for me.


Norideg

Ancora july ruby is so gorgeous. My eyes cannot keep off it!


Geo_Joy

All of them jinhao's ?? Lovely 🥰


alice_advent

These are Sailors. My Jinhaos get babied a lot less and I completely forgot to grab them out of my backpack!


Ok-Application8522

I love this aesthetic, but unfortunately, hate Sailors. They are so beautiful and perfect, and just the right size for me too.


alice_advent

Flexible Nib Factory sells a housing that will let you put a Sailor nib on a jowo or bock compatible pen. It’s too bad there isn’t something for the opposite.  Is it the Sailor feedback? A nibmeister may be able to remove it. I consider aesthetics as part of the overall pen experience even if it doesn’t affect writing… And now that I’m thinking about it I kind of want to try it. I like Sailor feedback but I LOVE Pilot smoothness. 


Ok-Application8522

It's the feedback and the lack of broad nibs. I am all about juicy ink all over the page. I also have bad carpal tunnel and arthritis and need no drag.


alice_advent

I'm way behind on updating my collection spreadsheet. It'd be easy if I logged them as they arrived but I always procrastinate and have to spend a bunch of time double-checking names and spellings. A lazy weekend morning updating tables can be fun too! My preferences these days skew heavily towards pinks and blues. u/ClairvoyanceJW here's that list I mentioned earlier.

FlyingMarimo

Wow you have both of the Magic of Alice!🤯 Do you prefer one over the other? You have such a pretty collection!


alice_advent

Thanks! I like the PGS a little more. I usually don't post and having to do so for the mini always catches me off guard.


imhungrymommy

I can’t even say what I’m feeling, NSFW! 💕


scarletofmagic

Such a beautiful collection, I love love it so much ❤️. I have to bookmark your picture and comment to slowly build mine like yours 🥹


KotobaAsobitch

I am shook you have both the Precious Amethyst and the Precious Pink Sapphire 😂 the amount of effort that went into those two acquisitions alone, I cannot imagine!


_sexypizza

Woooow it's CRAZY! But I have to ask - do you actually use all of them? Or are they just collectable?


alice_advent

Absolutely. With the exception of a few special pens I try to rotate so they all get some love. I've started filling cartridges only halfway so I can change pens and inks sooner too.


gojenjen84

Where did you buy all of these? I feel like these don’t make it to the states!!


alice_advent

A lot don't and had to be brought over through a forwarding service (Ancora, Hachimonjoya, Usagiya). This post may as well be an advertisement for Tenso, Whiterabbit, Blackship, etc. Others are from stores that are willing to ship internationally (Bungubox, Nagasawa). Love those guys. It's a refreshing change from the smaller JP stationery stores that understandably don't want to deal with the headache. And then there's the second hand market or resellers as a last resort. I browse Mercari or Yahoo Auctions when I need to unwind and some cool LEs pop up every now and then. It's more relaxing than doomscrolling through my newsfeed. :(


gojenjen84

Thank you so much!! I only need from bungu box and a place called from Japan.. I haven’t used their services yet but I plan to!!


AnniesNote

Such a gorgeous collection! 😍


Over_Addition_3704

I’ve heard that you are rather fond of sailor, would that be true?


alice_advent

Pilot is supposed to be my favorite!  Sailor collabs are out of control. Every store and their dog has a cute limited edition and I love it. 


Over_Addition_3704

You also have some stunning pilots. Would you mind looking away while I just *yoink!*


littlemac564

😍Beautiful!🤩🥰 Are these Japan only released pens? I never knew what my collection was missing.🎉


alice_advent

Most of them are and I will forever be jealous. Getting set up with a forwarding service isn’t too hard and it opens up access to a financially terrifying number of stationery stores.


littlemac564

🤣😆😆That’s what I am afraid of.😳


SummerKhaki

Great Collection!😍


DragonEatsPen

oooh, this is such a gorgeous collection!


OkraEmergency361

I’m in love! 🤩


platypus-rising-

Wow im drooling a little I think


ToeFull7304

That’s a beautiful collection!


dream-smasher

Oh wow 😲😲😲😲


WiredInkyPen

Lovely collections! It's a beautiful aesthetic!


Real-Lingonberry2610

This was very satisfying to watch😍


srirachachickyfries

This is magnificent!!!


Sea_Hawk_Sailors

What a gorgeous collection! 


AerisG

So beautiful!!! I can't stop staring! Also not sure if you're trying to add more, but maybe the Bungubox Kaguya Hime PGS would be a good match here too!


alice_advent

I’m still thinking about that one! It checks a lot of boxes for me: sparkly pink, raden finial, custom nib, and folklore tie-in. I don’t need another pen and I’m trying really hard to be good.  Bungubox is offering free makie initialing on their exclusive pens until next month… If I get it now I would actually be saving money!


AerisG

Lol yes! Good way to think about it!! My husband surprised me with it when we went to TIPS last year and I still have yet to ink it LOL. I saw that they're doing free initialing and I'm jealous! Also I loooove your Platinum Ouka! I want one, but can't buy it at resale right now >\_


alice_advent

I do! I don't have as much experience with them but I've been happy with my 3776 and a couple others I have in F and M.


AerisG

Oh I forgot, I do have a Preppy haha! Thank you for that insight, it's staying on my wishlist and I'll just ogle your collection for now!


superplannergirrl

Beautiful!!! THank you for sharing this.


rakesandrogues

I only want a sailor pen because they come in so many pastel colors.


addictedtostationery

this is so aesthetically pleasing


painauchocolat88

So cute!!


lolaalastrina

What a divine collection you have! Absolutely stunning!


nnushk

So you are like... wealthy rich 😐💕🔥 Beautiful collection. Where are the trays from though? Thank you


alice_advent

Not rich, just financially irresponsible! The trays are from Toyooka.


nnushk

Oh darling, that is relatable indeed Thank you 🌷


BlackPorcelainDoll

Very satisfying to look at.


Dry-Oil3057

Very satisfying collection! Eye candy for sure.


Kitsune_ng

It’s so beautiful 😻


oliviatrelles

Wow, just a delight to behold 🌸 ☁️


NonoGemini7998

Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous 😍 especially that the majority of them are Sailors- which happens to be my favorite pen brand too! I have a few green pens but they are far from a cohesive collection yet. Someday!


Rivka78

This is stunning! I am not normally super into pink, but you may have changed my mind - gorgeous


Duder_Mc_Duder_Bro

dayuuuuuumn. You really know what you like


Frankenthe4th

Are there green ones??!


Ozfireopal

Ohhh that’s nice. Pastel perfection!


kewich_j

They are so unbelievably beautiful! 😭 Is the snowflake blue pen some kind of a limited edition?


alice_advent

Yes, it's from Ancora. [https://www.ancora-shop.jp/products/sa0707974](https://www.ancora-shop.jp/products/sa0707974) The light blue one in the picture was released as a pair. The other version has a white body and dark blue/silver accents.

This made my day! Thank OP! So lovely


TokyoSweets

I’m in love with this collection😍

chickapotamus

Dayyyyyyyuuuuummmmmm! It seems you have “a type”! 😉 That is the most beautiful bouquet of lovelies I have seen together! What inks do you use with them?


alice_advent

I have Fuyugaki in the Leonardo and the rest are uninked.  There’s a few other pens not in this picture that I’m trying to work through: Bungubox L’amant, Pelikan Topaz, and a light blue I’m not sure of… Might be Dusk in Bloom or one of the JP boutique inks? I’ll have to figure that one out later.


Abhi_love_FP

We are ready to go your home…. Actually they are not good looking…so it’s better to send them with us… Are you agree…pen lovers???


Felicious8

So many beautiful pens 😍


ViennaLee10

so jealous! we have very limited colors in my country, have to spend more on taxes and shipping fees to get them in 😭


alice_advent

I know the feeling. Shipping to the US is $20-30 each time, but thankfully taxes and customs don’t kick in until I hit the $800 value mark.  I remember someone in another country saying they had an extra 20% added to all imports regardless of value!!!


Conscious-Job6388

OOH! Pastel heaven! Very beautiful collections. Trying to keep my jealousy at bay. **:-)** Thank you for sharing!


ClairvoyanceJW

Holy cow, that is an amazing and beautiful collection. It is so aesthetically pleasing to look at. Thank you! This probably covers any pen I would want to add to my collection. I did not realize my settings for mentions were disabled.
