Recap: Dallas Pen Show

Author AnaPosted on October 8, 2019October 8, 20196 Comments

This year I drove to the Dallas Pen Show. It’s about an eight hour drive from Kansas City to Dallas through the flat lands of Kansas and Oklahoma with the occasional respite of tollbooth and gas station. While I like seeing the country, this particular stretch of the US needs to be seen once or…

Not to Miss: Cal-o-ring at the SF Pen Show

Author AnaPosted on August 19, 2019August 19, 2019Leave a comment

We couldn’t resist doing another special edition Col-o-ring for the San Francisco Pen Show. This year Bob and I went all out. First, we punned like we did with the Chicag-o-ring. This is the Cal-o-ring! It features a bright orange California orange in the background and Bob hit it out of the park by adding…

Chicago Pen Show 2019 Recap

Author AnaPosted on May 7, 2019May 7, 20199 Comments

Turns out, this is my fourth year attending the Chicago Pen Show and my first year as a vendor. The previous three years, I’ve worked as a helper for Vanness Pen Shop. This year, I had the table next to them and Laura and Matt Armstrong (you might remember him as the legendary Pen Habit)…

Atlanta Pen Show Haul

Author AnaPosted on April 17, 2019April 16, 20191 Comment

Once again, I took very few actual photos of the Atlanta Pen Show event. Between working behind the Vanness Pen Shop table Friday through Sunday and participating in the Pen Addict podcast on Saturday night, I had very little time to wander around and take photos. We stayed very busy. Jesi and I had a…

My Arkansas Pen Show Purchases

Author AnaPosted on March 27, 2019March 25, 20196 Comments

Since Laura wrote a more extensive recap of the Arkansas Pen Show, I thought I’d just share a little about my experience and my purchases. Since the Arkansas show is much smaller than most of the shows I attend, its different for me in two ways: first, I have my own table and second, I…

Review by Laura Cameron Last weekend I had the great fortune to get to accompany Ana to the Arkansas Pen Show. I went to help her work her booth, and help other vendors out in general, and of course to look and shop! We drove down to Arkansas on Thursday and arrived late in the…

LA Pen Show Recap (with Road Trip Round-Up)

Author AnaPosted on February 23, 2019February 23, 20198 Comments

When I was trying to decide how to best organize this post, I debated planning it and titling it “A Pen Show in 3 Parts.” The first part being the drive to LA, the pen show itself and then the drive home. I drove from Kansas City to Little Rock where I met up with…

How much do you love stork scissors? As someone who sews, embroiders, knits and likes to make things from paper, I am enamored with these magical scissors. So of course, I made a rubber stamp to immortalize my love.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For the first time in years, we are taking a week off. I was inspired by my dear friends at Wonder Fair who are doing the same thing. Next week is Spring Break for the college where I teach as well. This will be a much needed Spring Break Staycation. It will be quiet here on the blog but we will be back on Monday, March 15.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All this goodness is re-stocked and in both shops -- Etsy and Big Cartel. Links in profile. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
