Hi Everybody!
Just got back from the 2022 DC pen show and had a great time! I’ll need a few days to photograph and upload new pens that haven’t been put up yet, and take down pens that sold, but I’ll announce it here when it’s all up.
Here’s a shot of our table near the main entrance-
Here’s a shot of some of the new materials from Bob Dupras that I brought with me –
Vanness, Luxury Brands and I also ran a scavenger hunt this year, and hope to do the same at many more shows in the future. Participants took photos at different tables around the show (we wanted people to explore all corners and not miss any vendors) and posted to Instagram under the hash tag #dc22penshowhunt to be entered for a chance to win bottles of Oster ink donated by Vanness, items from me, Carolina Pen Co., Schon Designs, Hinze Pen Co, Galen Leather, and Luxury Brands. I think it went pretty well, except for the fact that Instagram wasn’t showing me all the posts (and still doesn’t when you click the link – it says there are 45 posts). So we’ll have to figure something else out in the future. Maybe just @ tagging one of us running it will make it easier to pick winners. 🙂
Take care and see you next time!
Shawn
