Have you ID’d your fountain pen starter pack? Whether you\u2019re brand new to fountain pens or you\u2019ve got a desk drawer full of inked beauties, there\u2019s something universally nostalgic about your firsts. Your first pen crush. Your first ink spill. Your first \u201cwhy did I buy this?\u201d moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In honor of those iconic milestones, we asked our very own SarahBeth to put together her Fountain Pen Starter Pack\u2014a roundup of 5 very real, very relatable pen collector experiences. The experiences that got her started loving pens and inks enough to consider herself a pen collector. Think of it as a tour through the beautiful (and occasionally messy) beginnings of fountain pen obsession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s what made SarahBeth’s list…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. First Love: BENU Tattoo in Yellow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Woman<\/a>
Everyone remembers their first \u201creal\u201d pen. This BENU Tattoo was SarahBeth\u2019s spark.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is the pen that made her fall hard and fast. Every collector has that one pen\u2014the first \u201creal\u201d one that ignites the spark. For SarahBeth, it was the vibrant and bold BENU <\/a>Tattoo. If you\u2019ve been waiting for a sign to invest in something bold and brilliant, this is it.

\u201cThe first pen that made me feel like a collector.\u201d -SarahBeth

2. First Ink Disaster: Wearingeul Dracula<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Writing<\/a>
The first ink spill is the messiest and most memorable.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It happens to the best of us. SarahBeth\u2019s first ink disaster came courtesy of a bottle of Wearingeul Dracula<\/a> ink\u2014a gorgeous deep red that ended up everywhere but the page.

\u201cIt was NOT my first writing sample attempt with this ink\u2026and I still adore it.\u201d -SarahBeth

🧛‍♂️ Still worth the mess? Absolutely. Shop Dracula & more inks<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Pen Care Must-Have You Didn\u2019t Know You Needed: Nib Grips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Pen<\/a>
Maintenance matters\u2014SarahBeth\u2019s first true pen care tool turned out to be a game-changer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Pen care supplies can seem optional\u2014until you\u2019re elbow-deep in a cleaning and wishing you had the right tools. Enter nib grips.<\/a> SarahBeth swears by them.

\u201cI dismissed these completely at first, but now…I use them all the time.\u201d -SarahBeth

🧰 Stock up on pen care essentials<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Notebook You Never Use: Clairefontaine 1951 (Lined)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Lined<\/a>
SarahBeth thought this Clairefontaine lined notebook was perfect for ink tests\u2014until she realized lined paper didn\u2019t work for her.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve all been there\u2014buying a notebook for ink tests and then never touching it again. For SarahBeth, lined paper felt too rigid.

\u201cI discovered I don\u2019t like testing inks on lined paper. It makes me feel trapped.\u201d -SarahBeth

5. First Pen Chalet Order: Sailor 1911 Wicked Witch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sailor<\/a>
That first Pen Chalet order always hits different\u2014this Sailor 1911 was the beginning of something magical.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The pen that brought SarahBeth to Pen Chalet. It\u2019s a sleek, violet-toned beauty\u2014and it started a relationship built on fast shipping, great prices, and even better customer service.

\u201cThe Wicked Witch was my introduction to Pen Chalet – she’s apparently a fabulous networker.\u201d -SarahBeth

SB’s Pen Collection Philosophy: Living the \u201cJust One More\u201d Life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Collage<\/a>
From shimmering inks to unique nibs and everyday notebooks\u2014SarahBeth\u2019s collection is a timeline of curiosity and discovery.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
