This is a "thank you" post! First, thank you to the Orlando Pen Show for having such an awesome show, and to everyone I got to share time with at my tables and between show hours!
The next most important thank you: I'm giving a massive shout-out and thank you to the entire Diana family, along with an unnamed good Samaritan! When I was struggling so hard on Sunday to pack up, all four of them rallied together and helped me accomplish the impossible, and get out of the main ballroom in record time of three hours of packing! I got on the road around 7:30pm, and made it safely to the next hotel around 2:30am! I'm beyond grateful!
Thank you to a very sweet customer (whom I also consider a friend) for buying these cards and paper for me! Such a thoughtful gift!
I enjoyed spending time with Matt of Paladin Pen Co. , getting to have quality conversations, and also enjoying his new blue ink! Very fun!
As always, Eric and Danielle (Danielle Kindsfater | HAPPINESS HANDMADE, LLC ) of Happiness Handmade, were so awesome to talk with and buy stickers from!
Next up is Erick of Amarillo Stationery! I bought three journals, stickers, and his branded Rickshaw bag! Thank you as always for so much fun and awesome products! (Sorry, for some reason IG won't let me tag more folks)!
I'm excited to try my new glass dip pens from Hanabi Glass Studio! They're gorgeous! And it was great talking with Lucas!
The folks at Chill Artistry were among the awesome people I got to meet and chat with and get to know! Their journals and paper products in general are so awesome, and fun to use!
Last but not least is the two fun pens I got from Michael Tarantino! It was great sharing neighboring tables with you!
There were so many amazing connections over the weekend, and I'm sorry I'm not mentioning all of them! Can't wait to be back in January for the Florida Stationery Fest!
