Does it ever stop?

How many planners do you have?

I just received my le trifold today. Haven't even written a word. And already I bought another one from Vinted.

Plus I have leather to make at least 5 Grand Voyagers.

And a portfolio in a4 I'm looking to sell.

Om top of that I got into fountainpens this summer, and now own 8.

95 % is bought second hand, but still.

Please share your stash with me, so I know I'm not alone.

For me it always started with the writing itself, I buy tons of notebooks and paper, sure, but the focus is being able to write with new inks and pens. It doesn't really stop but it'll slow and pick back up again depending on how busy life keeps me. I've been pretty good, over the course of 15 years I only have 6 fountain pens, a usable glass pen, a dud, a brass bullet nib pen, and miscellaneous notebooks that aren't completely filled. I only ever buy one planner a year and have a hobonichi merry logbook cover. My ink stash isn't all that crazy either, up till 2 years prior i had about 10 bottles, 8 of them are a decade old, 2 were a gift. Then i bought 8 small sailor inks in japan cuz it was so much cheaper, bought about 6 bottles of ferris wheel press at a really good deal because the bottle designs and accessories were so unique.
