The PENguin Blog

the penguin: the journey continues For the past three weeks  the penguins  (note the plural—more on that later), Danny Aarons and Rick Propas, have been laboring in the studio preparing our biggest site refresh in several years. You will of course, find the usual Pelikans, Parkers, and Montblancs on the site. We have added a bunch of modern Italian pens from OMAS and Visconti, some vintage and modern Eversharps, and much more . . . Have a look for yourself And, we will be adding more pens on a regular basis throughout the holiday season. Despite all this hard work, we still have more pens in inventory than on the  website, including affordable Montblancs and modern Parkers so contact us if you are looking for anything in particular we both have a wide variety of pens not yet listed.

  It has been a while since I have blogged anything, let alone travel.   But it is July 2024, and we are going through the California/Oregon Coast on our way to our annual Shakespeare pilgrimage in Ashland, Oregon, a gathering of a few friends and family. July 11was our first full day in Mendocino. One of my favorite walks, the trail through Fern Canyon in Van Damme State Park, has been closed due to storm damage for the last couple of years, so I decided to walk through there at daybreak. The canyon is hard to photograph decently and I can’t say I totally succeeded to catch the mystical green light there, but here’s what I did do. A few of the later images capture some of the more spectacular damage that the winters of 2021-22 and 2022-23 did here.

 Come visit us and se what's new in 2024, with many more to come.
