    Default Redeem Pens just had a birthday, thank you!

    Most of you will probably scratch your head and thought: "What or who is Redeem Pens?"

    But, from my point of view, the community of FPGeeks is part of the reason that I was able to reach a one-year milestone in running Redeem Pens.

    It's a very interesting, sometimes challenging, but never boring journey from a few people in March 1st 2016 to an almost 100 member mailing list and almost 200 instagram followers for a one-guy operation in a niche-within-a-niche space. As I commented on another forum, I don't consider this a business, just a justification for me to buy more pens

    So I thank you guys from the bottom of my heart for all the supports, even though I fully acknowledge that you don't even realize giving it to me.

    Will, it's been great watching you grow in your pen knowledge and your business, as well. You've always taken any commentary or criticism graciously, and are routinely focused on helping new people in the hobby gain an appreciation for vintage pens. If you did nothing else, your remarkable hand-drawn adverts are worth the price of admission.

    In a world of sameness, you've become a person who stands out, an individual. That, as well as everything else, is worth celebrating. Congratulations!

    I secretly was waiting for Jon's sage words yesterday.

    This morning. Mind-blown.

    Thank you, Jon.

    Sage? I meant to use thyme. Crap.
