About Us

Hi! Thank you for stopping by and checking around!

I am Vida, an avid fountain pen user (and collector) from Ljubljana, Slovenia.

I decided to create this shop to find a loving home for some of the treasures I have or find with other (fountain) pen enthusiasts. My area of expertise/main point of interest are Pelikan fountain pens - I love their general writing experience, reliability, and look. 

Other than pens, I also love people, books, and concerts.

My go-to fountain pen combo: my trusty Pelikan M400 White Tortoise (14k F nib), inked with Diamine Twilight, on dotted Rhodia paper.

My grail pen: (non-existent but one can dream) Pelikan M400 Black Tortoise with translucent stripes.

My favourite quotes that I live by:
- "Always put positive thoughts into words and action."
― Patricia Ryan Madson, Improv Wisdom: Don't Prepare, Just Show Up 

- "When you work in hospitality—and I believe that whatever you do for a living, you can choose to be in the hospitality business—you have the privilege of joining people as they celebrate the most joyful moments in their lives and the chance to offer them a brief moment of consolation and relief in the midst of their most difficult ones. Most important, we have an opportunity—a responsibility—to make magic in a world that desperately needs more of it."
― Will Guidara, Unreasonable Hospitality: The Remarkable Power of Giving People More Than They Expect

Now enough about me. I am already excited for you to find some new fountain pen companions!

If you might have any questions about any of the pieces or are having troubles finding some specific one, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I am happy to help. :)
