The One Where I Visit Vanness Pens!

Last month I visited Little Rock, Arkansas for the 2025 Arkansas Pen Show, and the day after, I took a trip over to Vanness Pens to visit my friends Mike and Lisa ( @VannessPenShop  ). Plus, I really wanted to buy a Leonardo Momento Zero Nuvola in person, and some Akkerman Ink! In this video I do a quick walkthrough of the store, and Lisa and I also filmed an informal discussion of why it's sometimes better to buy a pen in person at a physical shop, as opposed to online, as I looked at the different Leonardo pens that Vanness had in stock. Specifically, the pen I was interested in purchasing (the Nuvola) had a unique pattern in the grey and white swirled material that varies from pen to pen, and I found a mix of colors that appealed to me. I also was able to select a nice medium nib with plenty of tipping. Many thanks to the team at Vanness Pens for hosting me. I come back every year!
