Do you hunt for pens while on vacation?

7/9/2017

After a typical winter and a cool wet spring in the northeast part of the United States summer is finally here!   Long warm days with lots of sunshine make me yearn for a trip.  Whether it’s a road trip or a flight to faraway places, summer means vacation.  If you are like me that means packing pens, ink and a nice fountain pen friendly journal.  That got me thinking – do you look for pens while on vacation?  Once my wife and I decide where we are going, I scour the internet looking for pen shops in and around our destination.  Sadly, we’ve noticed a number of pens shops have closed recently.  For example, Paradise Pen was chain that had locations throughout the United States and now they are all gone.  Whenever we go to London I go to Penfriend and earlier this year they announced that they closed their stores and will conduct business only on-line.  In addition to the dedicated pen shops we have been seeking out antique shops which can be a great source of vintage pens and accessories.  So, for those of you who do look for pens while on vacation – where do you look for your treasures?  We would love to hear from you!
Happy Summer and Happy Collecting!
