Pen Shows? We have now seen the sixth pen show affected by the Covid19 crisis- four have been cancelled altogether (Atlanta, St Louis, Miami, DC), and two rescheduled (Raleigh-AUG, Chicago-SEPT). It is not by accident that the DC show is called "The Supershow". It is the most important show of the year. Many dealers and vendors from around the world come to this event (some their only US show). The fact that is has been cancelled (without a reschedule date) speaks volumes.

Your support has helped my little "Hobby to Business" Venture grow dramatically!  I have collected pens to some degree my entire life. I did not get into FPs though until I started teaching (My Dad was only into BP/RB Pens when...

Pens at the Library! 30 Days later! Hello Pen Pals! For the past month, I have rented the retail space available at my local library! The space was originally used by the library to help raise money. They decided to rent the space to retailers interested in running a Pop-Up on Saturdays! I saw the place available in December, and made arrangements to rent it every Saturday in February.
