I cannot believe that it’s only two weeks until the Chicago Pen Show!

I am working on new sticker designs (proofs soon!) and we have a limited edition Col-o-ring available at the event as well. The design for the “Land of Inkin'” Col-o-ring came from my very first license plate. I hope it will be as nostaligic for other Illinois natives as it is for me and that it will be a fun keepsake for any visitors’ trip to the 2026 Chicago Pen Show.
Come visit us and all the other awesome vendors who will be at the event!
I also wanted to remind anyone attending that I am teaching two workshops over the weekend: Gamify Your Life and Sigils: Make Magic with Pens & Ink and there are still spaces available in both! Find new ways to use your planner or journal with fun or a little magic!
And just weeks later will be the St. Louis Pen Show with more workshops and chances to visit, meet and chat with pen fans!



that special Col-O-Ring is AMAZING, I love it!!! I hope the trip is smooth and fun (like a good ink flow, haha)
Cool design! I can’t make the Chicago show but I’m going to the St. Louis show!
I will be in St. Louis but won’t have any special products for that show. Maybe in 2027?
Aaaah! That Col-o-ring cover!!!!!! It’s so clever and I want one! The Chicago show was my first show, and I loved it! You and Jessie, and Laura were so kind and welcoming to me as a newbie. I’ve moved out of the area for a time, and I’m really sad I won’t be able to attend.
Depending on how well the Col-o-Col-o-ring “Land of Inkin'” sell, we may have a few left after the show.
Love the license plate!
