Thank You For Your Support, and How to Help T.G.S. Grow in 2022

January 4, 2022

Those of you who have been following this site over the years know that it’s undergone a bit of a transformation since 2020. While T.G.S. still posts at least two pieces of original content per week, the site no longer relies on third-party advertising and affiliate support to pay its bills. How do we keep the lights on? Direct reader support, whether that be through purchases in the T.G.S. Curated Shop or pledges via T.G.S. Patreon. I won’t make an extended plug here, but whether you’re a longtime reader or only recently discovered the site, I’d appreciate it if you’d take a brief moment to browse the carefully curated selection of goods in the shop, and/or visit the Patreon Page. Any level of support is greatly appreciated. We recently added annual memberships to the Patreon, which offers a discount on a paid-up-front subscription. I’m looking forward to 2022, and building on what we’ve been able to do with your generous support so far!

The T.G.S. Curated Shop is an authorized retailer of all brands sold. The goods stocked in the shop are carefully selected to match the mission of T.G.S. in general, which is to highlight well-made pens, pencils, paper, and desk and reading accessories that not only look great but are actually meant to be used in your everyday life.

D.C. - The Big Show! 

D.C. - The Big Show! 

Come See Me At The 2018 DC Pen Show!

July 31, 2018

It's that time of year again! From Thursday, August 2 through Sunday, August 5, I'll be attending the Washington, D.C. Fountain Pen Supershow at the Marriott Fairview Park. This year, I'll be at the Vanness Pens table, so stop by and say hello if you get the chance. Vanness will be bringing their wall of ink, pens, paper & more! 

Note that Thursday and Friday at the show are "Trader Days," meaning that you will have to purchase a weekend pass to attend ($45). The weekend pass also gets you into the show an hour earlier on Saturday and Sunday. I highly recommend attending on Friday and early in the mornings on the weekend - it's much less crowded, and you'll have first crack at rare pens and inks. Stuff can sell out fast! The show opens to the public on Saturday morning, and single-day admission is $9. 

Just one of the Vanness Ink displays that they will have at the DC Pen Show. 

Disclaimer: Vanness Pens is a sponsor of this blog, and I will be working for them at the show. For more about Vanness, see my post talking about my visit to their store in Little Rock, Arkansas earlier this year.
