Show Recap: Orlando Pen Show

Author Jessica ColesPosted on September 14, 20232 Comments

Do people write posts analyzing second year pen shows? 2022 was the first year for the Orlando Pen Show and I have seen plenty of posts looking at the event – did it live up to the hype? Did it have any new events or features? But I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a…

Pen Show Recap: SF Pen Show

Author AnaPosted on August 29, 2023August 29, 20232 Comments

(My cat Apple makes sure there’s plenty of room for stowaways in R2’s secret compartment.) This recap from the SF Pen Show is really going to be a photo dump. There was SOOOOOO much to see and do: a whole wall of nib grinders in one hallway, an engraver from Waldmann doing on site engraving,…

The Desk Goes on Vacation!

Author AnaPosted on August 18, 2023August 13, 20232 Comments

This week is the San Francisco Pen Show and, in preparation for the pen show festivities, the Desk will literally and figuratively be “going on holiday”. If you will be attending the SF show, please stop by the Vanness or Dromgoole’s table and say hello to Jesi and I. If you mention that you read…

California Pen Show Recap

Author AnaPosted on February 16, 2023February 15, 20236 Comments

The California Pen Show, as I mentioned in yesterday’s post, was a great first show for the new group of organizers. I thought we’d share some photos and a more in-depth recap for our first show of the year. I know the California Pen Show was not the first show of the calendar year but…

New Pen Show Alert!

Author Jessica ColesPosted on January 12, 2023January 12, 20232 Comments

Until recently, the pen show season is something that I have come to see as consistent, almost “set in stone”. For me, the first pen show of the year is Philadelphia and my last pen show is Chicago. The summer is a blur of pen shows too close together. But the pen show circuit does…

Over the last week or so, I've been slowly updating the shop. First, I have added more pen clean out and ink destashing. Patrons get advanced notice when I do stationery cupboard clean outs so if you join the Patreon, you too can get first dibs when I clear out my ever-expanding pen, paper and ink stash. I've been a little stressed by my collection -- that feeling of having too many things to keep track of, etc -- that I'm probably removing items from my collection that are from the core of my collection, not the fluff....
"review" of the Schon DSGN Monoc nib and Pocket Six anodized aluminum pocket pen. I say "review" because its just 100% praise for this amazing nib and pen.
Federalist Pens released their latest ink collaboration with Robert Oser: Frankly Walnut ($18 for 50ml bottle) which was unveiled at the DC Pen Show this year. Frankly Walnut looks reddish brown on Col-o-ring paper but on Tomoe River it looks almost purply. Fascinating. When compared with other brown inks, many Robert Oster were similar but different. Robert Oster Chocolate is probably the closest but is a bit more red orange in undertones where Frankly Walnut is a little more reddish in undertone....
