May Sponsor Spotlight

Sponsor support is very important to me here at The Pen Addict. My sidebar advertisers put their faith in me to deliver good value for them month in and month out, and I want to shine the light on the best of the best for you. If you are shopping for pens, paper, inks, and more, please check out these great companies and see what they have to offer. Some recent highlights:

JetPens launched the new Sailor Pro Gear Celestial Grey in both Slim and Standard sizes.

Pen Chalet received the latest from TWSBI, the 580 AL in stunning Iceberg Blue.

Goldspot dropped two new Esterbrook Model J Ebonite fountain pens in Violet and Blackberry.

Vanness Pens stocked an awesome new ink collaboration between Kobe and the Felissimo Chocolate Museum called Bitter Chocolate.

Penedex, Your Digital Pen Cup (Sponsor)

Penedex is your digital pen cup where you can catalog your pen and ink collection, stay on top of your currently inked pens, and prepare for a pen show visit. You can add details to your pen and ink entries, such as nib type, pen material, ink color, shimmer, dry time, photos, and more. Penedex will also keep track of how often you use your items and display a range of statistics about your usage. You can also add pens and inks to a wishlist to save for later, like when attending a pen show.

New for 2024 is Penedex’s latest feature, the pen show organizer. If you’re visiting the Chicago Pen Show this week it’s a great opportunity to give it a try. Each pen show in the calendar has its own detail page with important information and a section to prepare for your visit. Add important events to a checklist so you don’t miss meet ups. Plan out a budget with Penedex’s budget tracker by setting a total budget amount and add items to your checklist. Penedex will do the math to make sure your pen show haul won’t blow your budget.

Check out Penedex for iOS, or on the iOS App Store by searching Penedex. Penedex is free to download. And if you want to say hi you can find Penedex on Instagram and Threads @penedexapp or you can find the maker Connor Rose @clrosey.

My thanks to Penedex for sponsoring The Pen Addict this week.
