Fountain Pen Day is Friday, November 7th 2014. The first Friday in November is a day to celebrate, promote and share the love of fountain pens with the world. Celebrate in your own way by writing with your fountain pens. If you don’t own one, November 7th is the perfect day to go out and buy or order your first pen.

Where did you get all that swag from? Do they have a store? I want a button 🙂
The Fountain Pen Day site doesn’t have a shop but some vendors participating in Fountain Pen Day are including free swag in orders while supplies last. I received some bookmarks to give away and a very few other items that I’ve included with orders. The photo is from Pen Chalet which will be including these freebies with orders placed on Fountain Pen Day. Hope that helps!
Ohio Pen Show will be in full swing that weekend.
I just want to buy some fountain pen day stickers. Is there a way to make that happen?
Contact Fountainpenday.org directly and maybe they’ll still have some stickers available. If not, hopefully a wave of requests will convince them to open a shop next year for folks to purchase lots of Fountain Pen Day swag.
I will be celebrating fountain pen day by writing some of my fountain pen pals.
