Great pen/ink/paper store in Houston, Texas

[kudzu]

I live in CA but just returned from a trip to Houston, Texas area. I discovered a fantastic little family stationer's store that carries every color of Noodler's (non-proprietary inks), Private Reserve, and about 10 other ink manufacturers. I was in paradise! The store is called Dromgoole's and is on Rice Blvd. They also carry many, many fountain pen brands. I got to try out a Lominchay fp - fabulous , but too pricey for me without saving up or selling some pens. The staff of the family owned and run business is very knowledgeable about pens & inks, plus very friendly (I'm just a very happy customer - no affiliation).

 

I spent several hours perusing this B&M store and racked up a nice load of merchandise. And since I didn't want to have to take the trouble to pack everything I bought from them home with me on the plane, they held the bulk of my items until the end of my trip and are mailing it to me. Great service. Dromgoole's in Houston, TX: (800) 322-2038 or (713) 526-4651. They have a terrible website, so if you want to order from them, I'd just call them. Better yet, if in the area, stop in and step back in time to what an old-fashioned stationer's store, now with general office supplies, too, was like. What a great place for pen people.

Isn't it great when you find the end of the rainbow?

Awesome! My best friend lives in H-town, and I will be going to visit her in a couple of weeks. A stop at Dromgoole's will definitely be on the agenda.
