October Sponsor Spotlight

TWSBI Mini AL in Gold, via JetPens

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:

Anderson Pens received the new Parker Jotter London Collection, featuring designs based on some of the most famous buildings in this historic city.

JetPens has the latest TWSBI limited edition in stock, the Mini AL in Gold. Normally, the 580 gets the color treatment, but it is the Mini’s turn this time, and it looks fabulous.

Pen Chalet is taking pre-orders for the new Pelikan M805 Ocean Swirl, which is sure to be one of the hot pens of the season.

Goldspot has the Sailor Pro Gear Purple Cosmos in all nib sizes ready to release soon. Be sure to sign up to be notified when they launch

New Tactile Turn Mover and Shaker Giveaway

The redesigned Tactile Turn Mover & Shaker has launched on Kickstarter, and Will Hodges sent me over a couple of pens to give away to mark the occasion.

Each model features a completely redesigned retractable titanium mechanism designed and machined by Tactile Turn. It’s stronger, longer lasting, and lighter, giving the pen a great feel and balance in the hand. And the anodized colors look fantastic on the aluminum barrels.

I’m giving away a Mover in Purple Anodized Aluminum and a Shaker in Stainless Steel to readers of the blog. Read the details below and enter away! My thanks to Will for sending these over for me to check out.

Pencil According to Brad Dowdy

My good friends at CW Pencil Enterprise saw it fit to allow my ink-stand hands on their blog, where you can read my thoughts on all things graphite. We mixed in a little pen talk too.

The CWPE X Pen Addict: Pencils For Pen Lovers Sampler Set was a fun collaboration with the staff at CWPE, and I’m happy to report they are now back in stock after a quick sellout of the first batch. This is where you should start if you are curious about pencils.

And if you make it to NYC, their brick and mortar store has reopened at 15 Orchard Street. Be sure to stop by and say hello!
