Things you don't know about this video: so glad I went out that weekend because now we're going through a heat-wave in NYC and biking is not as safe/pleasant. Also: I finished The Brothers Karamazov!

lolita is a book that is meant to make you deeply uncomfortable, as it was nabokov's intention to write the narrator as an unreliable monster, but knowing that doesn't make it any easier to read ^^; loved this video summer is starting to kick off here in the pnw too <3

I love when you make this type of video, it feels like catching up with a friend 🌞 and your sponsor is perfect this week, I was looking for a print-on-demand platform!! sending you good vibes from the midwest ✨

"Holding my heart so it doesn't slip away" the most relatable feeling i get whenever I enter a stationery shop🤣❤️

Fran thank you for taking us along Brooklyn, cafees, qute, cozy stores, you reading in your kitchen, you biking and cleansing at home with sage... More vlogs like this would be a treat!!!!

[peacesoftuesday]

welcome to fountain pen life ❤ if you havent used one before here are a few tips:
1. you don’t need to press down to use the pen, and pressing too hard can damage the nib. all you need is to touch the pen to paper, and ink will flow.
2. flush the pen out with tap water and let it air dry whenever you change inks.
3. you can buy a converter for kaweco sport that will let you refill the pen from bottled ink, so eliminates waste from cartridges and allows you to try many different inks.
4. get some blotting paper if the ink is taking a long time to dry.

hope this helps anyone who is new to fountain pen world :)

Yes Yes Yes for stationary shops, cafés, brooklyn vlogs !

[BloomsburyVintage]

Yes please Fran! More Brooklyn cafes…stationery shops and your beautiful apartment!! Thank you 🌼

[NancyLiliG]

Ooh, Printful! Fun sponsorship!! We’ve been using them for 3-4 years to send company swag to clients as gifts, and I could rave about them for hours 🤩 They have multiple facilities all over the world, so your stuff isn’t shipping extra long distances needlessly, which is better for the environment. Love them!

[beckie]

Your self drawing is so cuuuute! Roots and all!😄 Also, thank you for sharing the Mr. Boddington’s store. We don’t really have cute stationery stores where I live and the last ones I bought from online were in the UK and I’ve been looking for some closer to support, so thank you!

[AnaBela]

yes, please, i want to see more of your trips in the city. Some of my favourite episodes💛

[eleonoravitaloni]

Thank you for the video❤ I would love to see more Brooklyn videos😊

Ver este video me recordó una peli que hace poco me vi “Perfect Days” … que leas un libro mientras esperas el café, ir en bici por la ciudad, quedarte tirada en el piso pensando pensamientos luego de hacer ejercicio, limpiar tu casa… esas rutinas que parecen hacer la vida más lenta, pero en realidad nos conectan con nuestra existencia en este planeta que somos❤ ufff amo demasiado todo lo que compartes, tú arte es hermoso pero que además nos muestres todo esto cotidiano, no solo tu proceso creativo es lo mejoooor, siento que me pongo al día con una amiga y que aunque no me conozcas, me acompañas también. Gracias Fran que el universo te siga llenando de creatividad para que nos compartas y sigas siendo inspiración, te mando mi mejor energía amorosa en forma de abrazos desde acá donde sea que estés. 🫶🏽💛✨

[frogonthegrass]

Thanks for this video, love the scene with Hamburgesa on the bed with in the background the portrait I have done of him few years ago 🥰😍 thanks for keeping it, it means a lot for me ❤. Have a nice summer in Brooklyn.
