Gem of the Southwest

If you are able to pick up the latest issue of Stylus magazine, April/May 2008, you'll find a nice article about Scottsdale Pen beginning on page 68. It turned out that the writer, Stephen Herman, is a frequent visitor to the Phoenix area and he popped in on us within the first month we were open. We couldn't be more thrilled to have such a nice spread done so soon!

So far our experience in the pen community has been very gratifying. Before we even opened we visited Pasquale at Pen's International in Phoenix and he encouraged us to pursue our dream. Fred from Bromfield Pen Shop in Massachusetts visited a few weeks back while he was out here on vacation, Anthony from Penworks about 20 miles to the north of us visited shortly after we opened, and Pam from A Pen Lover's Paradise in Virginia called to congratulate us when she saw the article. The folks over at Art Brown and Fountain Pen Hospital in New York City have also been very supportive. Actually, the folks at Art Brown's told us about the article before we even knew it was out. We're glad to be here and invite you to stop by anytime. You're gonna' love it here!
