Pens For Kids - To Help With Needs

I usually don't keep much extra stock around. I get orders and make those pens and that's usually about it. Before the Washington DC and Dallas shows I took a few days and made a few extra pens to have something at the shows to show and sell. Instead of holding on to them for any longer, I want to sell them now. Some of the kids at school need deodorant and shoes and shampoo and other hygienic items. If you buy one of these pens, any nib you like, grinds for $15, gold nibs are $100 extra, all

2015 Newton Pens Scholarship – June Raffle Is Open!

Hope you’re all having a good summer so far. I’m enjoying all this shop time. I thought now would be a good time to start raising money again for next year’s scholarships. We all raised just over $6000 and have helped 6 kids out with $1000 scholarships. I wish I was better with words, but it means so much to me to be able to help out like this, and I wouldn’t be able to do it without all of you.   So let’s get started.   One winner – one pen.   All you have to do to enter is go here and re

Newton Pens Website Revamp

It’s been a long time coming, but I finally did it. I revamped most of the website. The ordering process is a bit different, as is the layout of the model lineup. I spent some time today splitting up the different styles into their own categories. Check it out.   Everything is in the drop down menu titled The Newton Pens Buy A Pen, then Newton Pens Models.   To order all you need to do is click on the model you like and fill out a short form beneath the images.

A Visit To Vanness Pen

I stopped in to Vanness this morning and was poking around behind the counter, looking at inks, and some kids came in with a lady who was exploring the cake side of the store. The kids were exploring the pen case, the girl in green especially, commenting on how pretty the pens were as she went down the row. I turned around from the Diamine selection, and she was drooling over one of the Visconti Van Gogh pens. It was a light blue with bits of red swirled through. I told her that pen was from

Newton Pens Scholarship And Flex

Well, the scholarship money has been transferred to the school and all the applications have come in. I'm going to spend this week with the other teachers reading through them all and picking the 2 or 4 most deserving. There are only 8-10 applications so hopefully it won't be TOO challenging. I'm so excited and proud to be able to give this money away.   The one thing I'm nervous about though, my hands shake a little thinking about it, is getting up on stage at graduation, in front of 2-3

Newton Pens Raffle Soon

Hi everybody, It's been a while since my last raffle and a lot has happened. Newton Pens has it's own Employment ID number (EIN) - YAY! I've figured out a way to get the scholarship money to students, and after this year, I'm going to make the scholarship available to kids anywhere in the country. I'll have to start my own non profit I believe, but I think I have a friend or two who can help me get the paperwork together and filled out.   Since I started making pens I have made two pens for v
