Hot Pot Night Behind the Shop
It's coming up to Jon's birthday, so we're celebrating early and all month long and with good food, mostly involving meat.
Team Photos on the Website
At long last, we've updated our About Us section on the website! It's been long over-due to get some real photos up, and also a bit about each of us. Sarah has been with us since last fall, and now we have Micah and Bogdan as well.
Pen Clerk-in-Training
Because it's Friday and because it's almost spring, I thought I would share a few funny snaps of our pen clerk in training. Although really, I would just be happy if he could be a user-of-the-potty-in-training.
Caleb Growing Up
One of the families we've known since Caleb was in utero and their baby Ventura was in utero, is moving to Spain.
Planning Our Train Trip Across Canada
So it begins! We're planning our train trip across Canada! This will be our first trip since we opened the shop three years ago.
Super's Birthday, and He Turns Seven
We celebrated Super's birthday this past weekend! I know it seems like everyday is a celebration for him, but on Monday, Super got his very own breakfast sandwich, rather than having to steal one of ours from the table. It lasted about four seconds.
Welcome to the Wonder Pens Family
Micah & Bogdan have been working both in the shop and behind the scenes with packing orders and helping to get us organized in the back. It's a bit surreal to have so many people bustling around compared to the days of our old tiny shop on the west end, when just me and Jon would fill the shop to capacity.
Caleb & Super: Hide & Seek
For those of you who are just discovering our shop, or maybe the blog, we are a family business with a baby, Caleb, and a dog, Super.

Wonder Pens Family Goes to Sigma Typewriters in Hamilton
Today is something a bit different for the blog! Another Wonder Pens Adventure.. Ages ago, I stumbled across this article about Sigma Typewriters from the Hamilton Spectator, and I told Jon that one day we were going to have to make a trip to this tiny shop tucked away in Hamilton, and get me a typewriter from here.
