August 18, 2008 - We added several items to our Dip Pens page today, including some figural and boxed nibs and dip pen sets.

August 14, 2008 - We got back in from the Washington DC Fountain Pen SuperShow Wednesday evening. I'm always amazed at how many people from around the globe attend this show.

If you placed an order on Wednesday before 6PM CDT, it's going out to you today, Thursday. We still have some odds and ends to check on for a few people, but we're working on that now, so if you're waiting on a reply, it's coming soon!Sorry, no Inky Greetings went out today since we're still unpacking, but Inky Greetings will be back next week.

August 8, 2008 - Today, August 8, 2008, marks the 100th Anniversary of W.A. Sheaffer's patent for the invention of the lever filling fountain pen. You may have a Sheaffer Pen in your collection with the August 8, 1908 patent date engraved on the barrel. Even if you don't have one of these very early Sheaffer pens, today would be a good day to pull out a lever filling fountain pen to write with in honor of W.A.'s invention. |

July 16, 2008 - Advertising blotters were once as common as business cards. They served their purpose perfectly as a reminder of a business or product and were also useful to blot your writing. Unfortunately, many more that we care to think about were thrown away. We can't save everything, can we? Wait, that's probably a bad question to ask me! We have some new additions to our vintage advertising blotter listings, including a very nice Sengbusch blotter from 1937. ![]() Click blotter for details We've updated our Vintage Sheaffer page today, adding three dozen items, ranging from PFMs to No Nonesense to Targas to... well, we added just about a little bit of everything!

Happy Mother's Day to all of you Moms stopping by from all of us at Pendemonium! May your day be very special.
A Brief History of Mother's Day In 1907 Ana Jarvis, from Philadelphia, began a campaign to establish a national Mother's Day. Ms. Jarvis persuaded her mother's church in Grafton, West Virginia to celebrate Mother's Day on the second anniversary of her mother's death, the 2nd Sunday of May. By the next year Mother's Day was also celebrated in Philadelphia. Ms. Jarvis and her supporters began to write to ministers, businessman, and politicians in their quest to establish a national Mother's Day. It was successful as by 1911 Mother's Day was celebrated in almost every state. President Woodrow Wilson, in 1914, made the official announcement proclaiming Mother's Day as a national holiday that was to be held each year on the 2nd Sunday of May. |

In Memory Of Sonya Mawhorter Our dear friend Sonya Mawhorter passed away suddenly on Saturday, May 3rd. Many of you know Sonya as the bright shining face sitting behind the registration table at the Ohio and Raleigh Pen Shows. Her involvement with the pen community goes back many years and reaches far beyond these two delightful pen shows. Sonya's smiling face, positive attitude, concern for others and a no nonsense get it done approach to all things she undertook served her well and made her a friend to all. Sonya was a very special lady who will be greatly missed. We mourn her passing, but I fully believe that Sonya would want us to celebrate her life, a life that was cut short far too soon.Our deepest sympathies go out to the Mawhorter family. A Memorial Service for Sonya will be held Saturday, May 10, 4PM at Faith United Methodist Church in Zanesville, Ohio. The family has requested in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Ohio League for the Mentally Retarded, Box 215, Delta, OH 43515. |
