The Beginning of the Beginning

...of what we hope is a long and exciting journey. The first of our shipments have begun arriving! We have currently placed orders or begun discussions with several companies, and the first three have arrived. It's been a learning curve with UPS and getting through customs with brokerage fees and duties. We are putting Private Reserve ink (US), Sailor fountain pens and ink (Japan) and Rohrer & Klingner ink (Germany) up on the site now. While you can't actually buy anything yet - we haven't quite launched the site live - you will be able to on April 17th. We've set this date in anticipation of the some of the other products we hope to have soon, but some of our orders are coming from pretty far so they might not be up on the site by launch.
