Link Love: ‘Nother Week, ‘Nother Pen Show

Feels like just yesterday that I unpacked from the California Pen Show and tomorrow I hop on a plane and head to Baltimore for the next show on the jam-packed pen show calendar. If you are going to be at the show, please come by and say hello to me and Jesi. We will be hidden behind the giant ink racks at the Dromgoole’s tables. I can’t wait to bring the ink party to Baltimore. It will be my first trip to the Baltimore Show since 2020!
