Tomorrow, Laura and I are packing up and driving south to Little Rock for the Arkansas Pen Show. We hope that if you’re within shouting distance, we’ll see you there this weekend. If not, you can follow along with our adventures on Instagram and we’ll post a recap here next week. Lots of paper-related links…
Several months ago, I was supposed to receive a Montblanc Rouge et Noir Metamorphosis Fountain Pen from Appelboom but FedEx lost the package and has spent the last few months vehemently passing the buck.
