I was able to get a LOT of writing done this week.

Back from Vacation! Recapping The Year In Pen Show Travel, Upcoming Shows, Etc.

October 14, 2023

Since we are back in town today, any orders placed over the past week should start shipping out this afternoon, and you will see labels and tracking numbers being generated over the weekend. Remember - all orders placed in the shop through 11:59pm Sunday (10/15) will receive some of the new/restocked T.G.S. Swag that I recently ordered! Many thanks for continuing to support us while we were out on this much-needed break!

To recap 2023 a bit: I attended a lot of pen shows! If you’ve missed reading about my year in pen-related travels the first time around, I’ve linked to most of my show recaps below.

  • NY NOW and Shoppe Object (Trade Show, not a Pen Show, but it was still fun!).

  • 2023 Baltimore Pen Show

  • 2023 Arkansas Pen Show

  • 2023 Atlanta Pen Show

  • 2023 Washington, D.C. Fountain Pen Supershow

  • 2023 San Francisco Pen Show

Maybe I’m looking forward to hunting more vintage in Ohio?

I don’t currently plan on doing any additional shows as a vendor this year, though as I mentioned I may attend the Ohio Pen Show during the first weekend of November. Other shows taking place during October include the Colorado Pen Show (this weekend!) and the Detroit Pen Show next weekend (October 20-22, 2023). The Scriptus show also takes place in Toronto on October 29. You still have several opportunities to get a pen show in before things shut down in November and December. Stay tuned as I will continue to be off from the day job through the first week of November, and have a bunch of fun content planned!
