Holiday Greetings to All!

Karen and I would like to thank you all for being so supportive of Scottsdale Pen during our first year. It is ironic that we opened our store December 1st, 2oo7, what is now being called the beginning of the recession. However, even against that challenging backdrop, we're pleased to say that our year was very successful and the holiday shopping season was busy. We couldn't have done it without you!

With your continued support we anticipate an exciting 2009. In the meantime, we wish you and yours a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year.

Factory Authorized Sale in Progress

For the holiday season the kind folks at Sanford have authorized a 20% off sale on all Parker and Waterman pens. This is a wonderful opportunity to stock up on some great pens for you and yours at reduced prices.

The holiday season is off to a great start. Hot stocking stuffers include pens from Lamy and Retro 51, while people looking for "impact" gifts have been gravitating towards the Visconti Black Divina, the Waterman Exception, and the Cross Apogee in rose gold.

We cannot publish prices on our "in-store" specials, but you'll find some incredible bargains if you come into the store. The sun is shining, the weather is great, so come on in and have some fun!

Thanksgiving Update

With all you hear about "Black Friday" I figured I'd update you on happenings in our little slice of retail heaven. In a word, "busy". Overall, we had a very busy week with Saturday being the big day. Interestingly enough, we did almost equal sales volume on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. We had a strong November to mark the one-year anniversary of Scottsdale Pen.

But we were busy for other reasons last week, too. Our son came in from NAU for the holiday weekend, while our daughter threw a large party on Saturday night to celebrate her 17th birthday. And, we're breaking in a new puppy, too. Yep, we had our hands full last week.

If you're in the area please stop in. We're offering special in-store savings on many items. Prices are too low to publish!
