We are excited to introduce a new addition to our pen-collecting community: The Northern Delaware Pen Club!
While the idea and planning for this club have been in the works for quite some time, they are finally getting things rolling and bringing together like-minded pen enthusiasts for gatherings, conversation, and, of course, a shared love of all things writing-related.
The Northern Delaware Pen Club is intended to be a welcoming place for anyone who enjoys writing with fountain pens, other pens, and even pencils. Whether you’re an experienced collector, a stationery enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the art of putting pen to paper, they would love to have you join them.
What’s Happening?
There is no formal meeting schedule established just yet, but they are finding a rhythm that seems to be settling into gatherings every other month.
Their next meeting will be Saturday, November 7th, following International Fountain Pen Day. They look forward to getting together, sharing collections, exchanging ideas, and enjoying the company of fellow enthusiasts.
They also plan to incorporate demonstrations and special meeting themes, giving everyone an opportunity to learn something new, share their knowledge, and explore different aspects of the writing experience.
Where Will They Meet?
That’s still a work in progress! They haven’t settled on a permanent meeting location because they would really like input from the people who will be attending. The current plans include meeting at libraries throughout New Castle County, Delaware.
They want this club to be shaped by its members, so suggestions and ideas are always welcome.
How Can You Connect With Them?
If you’re interested in joining them, following their activities, or simply learning more, there are two ways to stay connected:
- Instagram: @northdepens
- Facebook: Northern Delaware Pen Club (Facebook Group)
The club is being started by Damien from All in the Nib and Will Kelly, with the hope of building a wonderful community of people who share their appreciation for pens, paper, ink, and the written word.
If you’re in Northern Delaware or the surrounding area and have a passion for writing instruments, please join them!
Good pens, good company, and good conversation. What more could a pen enthusiast ask for?

A Wonderful Day of Pens, Paper & Ink at Peddler’s Village
What better way to spend a day than surrounded by good friends, beautiful pens, wonderful stationery, and plenty of conversation?
Our recent pen club gathering brought 20 members together at Earl’s Restaurant in Peddler’s Village for a delightful afternoon of food, fellowship, and, naturally, all things pens.
Our special guest, Heatherjo from Bucks Bespokery, shared the story of her shop and gave us a glimpse into the wonderful world of stationery and writing goods she has curated. It was a pleasure learning more about her business and the passion behind it and her plans for the future.
Over lunch, the conversation flowed just as freely as the ink from our favorite fountain pens. As anyone in a pen club would expect, our discussions quickly turned to pens, paper, and ink—our favorite brands, new discoveries, treasured pieces, and, of course, the never-ending quest for the perfect combination of pen, nib, paper, and ink.
After lunch, many of us made our way over to Bucks Bespokery to see the shop for ourselves. We were absolutely delighted—and perhaps a little overwhelmed—in the best possible way by the wonderful selection of stationery, pens, inks, and other writing treasures. There was so much to see that it was easy to lose track of time browsing the shelves and admiring all the beautiful things a stationery lover could want.
It was especially wonderful to see the shop bustling with activity. A thriving local stationery shop is something any pen enthusiast can appreciate, and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to support Bucks Bespokery and introduce more of our members to this special place.
We are grateful to Heatherjo for spending time with us and sharing her shop with our group. We look forward to growing our relationship with Bucks Bespokery and to many more opportunities to get together, talk pens, and support the wonderful world of stationery.
Until our next meeting at the Philadelphia Pen Show in January, may your pens stay full, your nibs stay smooth, and your paper always be worthy of another page!
