I really love this place. The operator is becoming more familiar with my face, and is starting to talk to me more like a pen collector than some guy off the street who likes shiny things (joke's on him). He actually showed me their newest venture, which is a partnership with Sheaffer. The new Sheaffer's pens are beautiful, and feel really great in the hand. And now I want a Legacy Heritage. (He hadn't even opened the boxes to put the pens on display. But he cracked one of them open just to show me.)
He also stocks Pelikan Edelstein and Iro Shizuko inks... so I know where my next ink purchases will be from.
I was there, specifically for a card to give my wife on our date night. I almost settled on a nice card with room for writing, when I found the Regina stationery! This stuff is gorgeous! A pack with 8 3x5 cards and envelopes was $12, which I think is a good price considering the quality of the paper. I'll snap a picture of the note I wrote to show you guys later. Using a WET fine stub Esterbrook nib, NO feathering, NO bleed, NO splatters on the textured paper... NO bad properties!
The bad thing is that this stationery is available in 2 other sizes, and sits right next to large boxes of Original Crown Mill laid stationery.
Have I mentioned how much I hate this store?
Also, I picked up an 8 inch stick of red wax for my seal (hot glue gun wax... but also works well with open flame)... $4.
Oh, and they have hand made wrapping paper.
And Sailor pens.
And Pelikans...
And it's only a quarter mile from where I work.
