It was 3 days of patience, creative thinking, hand sanitizer and lots of hand washing to get back to Pendemonium Central  from the Arkansas Pen Show!  We are going to continue business as usual at Pendemonium - meaning we'll continue to take care of your orders promptly.  We'll have more e-news things going on than usual and our creative juices are flowing right now!  Be sure you are signed up for: Inky Greetings and Midnight Madness - Click here to sign up if you are not already.  E-News  We send announcements and special offers securely via Constant Contact.

Our Downtown Pendemonium shop inside Time Was Antiques is closed through March 31 when the owners will re-evaluate the current Covid-19 health crisis.  Thus far Kingman and Mohave County, AZ have been covid-free.  We just can't be safe enough in our current world.  Kingman has visitors from around the world mostly attributed to Route 66 tourism, we are the first city you get to when traveling I-40 from California. I commend Tom and Mary, the owners of the antique shop for making the difficult decision to close at this time.  Stay tuned for updates. 

Arkansas Pen Show - We had a great time at the Arkansas Pen Show this past weekend.  Thank you to all who attended the pen show and purchased items from us, we appreciate it.
