Scriptus Toronto 2016 Almost Here

[LightHand]

This was my first Scriptus, (as I missed last year's show by a hair...) and it was all the fabulous, glorious madness I expected. My husband, on the other hand, was quite surprised that there is a such a large and active community of like-minded pen and pencil and paper and ink lovers!

 

Thanks to the organizers and vendors for a great first show!

Let me add my thanks to David and the vendors who came to Scriptus! This was my third Scriptus show - I find it keeps getting better every year and I enjoyed this show as much (if not more) than last year's show.

 

Although I ended up buying just ink & stationary at this year's show, I enjoyed being able to see, touch and discuss a wide selection of pens that I'd otherwise only heard of including a Sailor KOP, a few MB Writers editions (including a vermeil Christie!), a MB 146 with a gold barleycorn pattern, ST Dupont Chairman/Orpheo & Fidelio (the latter of which I managed to avoid buying, but it was close), and a ton of Pilot VPs, among others. Big thanks to all the vendors, especially KindWords Stationary, WonderPens, Stylo, Phidon Pens, and Penshine (where my Dad got a discount on a 1941 blue Parker Vacumatic that had his initials on it...very nice touch)

 

Thanks again and I'm looking forward to the next Scriptus!

This was also my first Scriptus, and also my first time interacting with other fountain pen enthusiasts. I had a blast! Although, my budget was blown when I discovered most vendors accept credit cards, so my carefully chosen cash roll was quickly blown through and then some (but not too much)! I discovered a lot of local Artisans that I'm very excited about, picked up some new ink colours, acquired a lot of stationery, and purchased 2 pens: a Parker 45 with left oblique nib and a '45 Parker Vacumatic.

 

Thank you so much to the organizers and vendors! I will definitely be back next year.

Great show. Thanks to all who worked to make it happen. I may have been the most disliked person there: I got the very last bottle of Northern Twilight and there was a line behind me.

Another great show, much thanks to the organizers and volunteers. The London Pen Club was well represented with 11 members making the the trip to Toronto.

 

Here is a link to a Flickr Album of some of the photos I managed to take. Enjoy.

 

Cheers,

Those were great pictures you had of the event and the people at the event. The crowd was a good size. Glad London had a strong contingent come out for the show.
