Home from San Fran

Jamie and I flew to the San Fran Pen Show with Lisa Vanness and Shandra Broughton, and we all had a great time, and a great show.

A show isn’t a show until I take a goofy selfie:

I finally had a sticker made!  Please meet Zippy Waffles the cat!  People seemed to love him and I didn’t have any extras to take home.  We’re working on more, I promise.  🙂

Here’s the view from the walk along the bay in beautiful weather!  I’m always glad to be back home after a show, but I didn’t miss the 100-115 F weather we’ve been having.  Today is pretty nice at 92, though.

I know it’s a pen show, but check out these animals!  🙂

My Zippy Waffles sticker with a real (very sleepy) kitty.

A little black Pom.

And this good girl in heavy metal patched denim.  🙂

And check out this jelly bean nib!  Woot!  My favorite candy!  This Knickerbocker now belongs to Lu Lee of Fine Writing International, and this is one of their engraved Jowo nibs.  (he gave ME one, too!)

Thank you so much to everybody who came by and made it a successful one for me.

I’m working on new inventory for the Dallas Pen Show, but here’s what I have left:

I’m working on my photo setup.  I got new lights, but I think I’m still leaning a little too cool.

Oh!  And an extra big thank you to everybody who bought one of our notebooks!  Every penny raised from those sales goes to our scholarship fund that helps high school seniors pay for college.
I’m completely sold out of notebooks!  🙂

I’m giving this one to #25 thanks to the help of a random number wheel spinner!  Congrats Amy E!  I’ll send you an email now.  🙂

Thanks!

Shawn
