Also, it's super early for Christmas, but a lot of people had asked about these, and I have a handful still available! These will ship now, and I promise not to post any spoilers since I'm planning to play along for the first time. (Apparently you can still get 2022 versions from some places so I may pick one up and do an pre-Inkvent-Inkvent during November :)

2023 San Francisco Pen Show Recap: Could It Get Even Bigger Than D.C.? — The Gentleman Stationer

If you read my recap of the 2023 D.C. Pen Show, I described it as the biggest pen show I’ve ever attended, both in terms of number of vendors and number of attendees. While I don’t think this year’s San Francisco Pen Show ended up being larger than D.C., it was extremely well-attended and, as always

We're getting ready for San Francisco, but before I completely turn the page, I thought it might be fun to do a video of my DC Pen Show Haul (and of course a few other things I might have picked up in-between…)

Pen Show Prep: 5 Things Not to Miss at the Upcoming San Francisco Pen Show — The Gentleman Stationer

This week I hit the road for the 2023 San Francisco Pen Show. It's probably my favorite pen show on the circuit, and I'm both excited to have a table and at the same time bummed that I'm not going to have time to sit through all the classes. Maybe I'll alternate years attending as an exhibitor and a

I've been quiet on most of the socials lately - I've been traveling to the DC PEN SHOW! Check out the recap here!

Still Got It: The Big Show is Back! The 2023 D.C. Pen Show Recap — The Gentleman Stationer

Can a pen show ever be too big? For the first time in many years, the D.C. Pen Show pushed the limits of what a truly international pen show can be, and I loved every minute of it. While I’ll talk a bit more below about whether this kind of expansion is necessarily a good or bad thing, on a deeper l

2023 Bag Dump, Part II: Travel Edition and Pen Show Packing — The Gentleman Stationer

As both a travel and stationery enthusiast, I spend a fair bit of time thinking through what I pack for trips (especially business trips and/or pen shows). It’s a delicate balance between packing far too much - encumbering yourself in ever-shrinking airports, planes, and hotel rooms - and leaving yo

Giveaway time!

The Gentleman Stationer on Instagram: "GIVEAWAY TIME! I ended up with an extra bottle of the Summer Sangria ink that I’m allowed to give away. As a refresh, this is a true “limited edition,” as the exact dye isn’t made anymore. The other bottles are packaged with our collaboration fountains pen from @hinzepen, who commissioned the ink and thought it would be a great match for this project. (They were right!) All you have to do to enter is like this post. While there is no need to leave a comment, I’d love to hear some ideas for future collaborations because there will be more! Also, fewer than 10 pens are left. Please don’t sleep on them if you were wanting one. I originally thought I might have some left for the @dcpenshow but it doesn’t look like it. 😳 #penaddict #fpgeeks #fountainpengeeks #pens #pen #giveaway #penandink #fountainpenink #custompens #bespokepens"

I rarely do bag dump posts. They’re a lot of fun but they also take a while! (Especially when you lug around a ton of stuff daily.)

2023 Bag Dump: What Do I Carry to Work? — The Gentleman Stationer

Bag dump posts are insanely popular, whether on the internet or social media. I think mainly it’s because people (1) are generally nosy, and love to glean insights into other people’s lives via the things they carry with them; and (2) at least in the stationery community, would like some reassurance
