The Unpacking-pics from yesterday's Pen Posse

[AltecGreen]

As part of yesterday's Pen Posse, Gale returned from a special buying trip to Japan with ink for the Posse. She went especially for the Posse. Yay Gale!

Here is a photo montage of the Unpacking.

Unpacking a set. We were actually not sure how the store arranged the ink sets so we needed to check.

Meanwhile, Farmboy was not impressed. He was bad Santa.

He proceeded to work on a stubborn Sheaffer Snorkel. It's like toasting marshmallows. (kids-don't try this at home. We're professionals)

I still can't believe Gale brought all that back by hand.
First time seeing FB in long pants.

I'll try to bring something for bad Santa to work on January 11th if the Posse can convene then.

Of all the times for me to be out of town...
