Florida and Maryland Join Pen Revolution
Pens donated from Geneva Florida (thanks Elizabeth)
Pens donated from Mockton Maryland
Florida and Maryland are the latest two states to join in the pen recycling revolution with their recent pen donations.
From Florida I got some old pens from Royal Canin, and Southwest, and from Maryland a pen from Drs. Schwartz and Hyatt who offer Maxillofacial Surgical Care. Getting pens from local business in the area is a always interesting to me especially when I get pens with no return address. Thanks again and keep sending to those old pens:)
Magical Pentopia Store Seeking Investors with Vision.
I went out today to pick up some pens dropped at the Sutter VNA Thrift Store in Sebastopol dropped by my facebook friend Scotty M. I then went to Starbucks on 962 Gravenstein Avenue to have some coffee and write in my journal. That’s when I saw the perfect 648 sq/ft space for lease and got me thinking again about opening up Pentopia.
Pentopia is the magical land of pens, new and used for sale of every kind. There are regular pens, specialty pens, crafts made from used pens, and works of art called pentings. Its a place to hang out, buy a pen, make a craft, color on the walls, be transported into another world and be uplifted.
Its what the Willy Wonka factory would look like if it made pens instead of candy. Painted walls with hills, plants, trees and sky. Grassy path ways leading you around the various pens covered plants and trees. Wall murals covered in pens and a place to hang out, enjoy the view and explore the wonderful world of pens.
Drop off your old pens, stay and make a pen craft or help out with the latest pen mural. Buy a regular pen or find a special one for that special someone, a pen for everyone and for every occasion. Then go next door and get some paper to go with your new pen.
I believe Pentopia is an amazing place and it needs to happen, I have a couple of weeks to raise the necessary capital to start this thing here in Sebastopol. I have been thinking about Pentopia for about three years and believe that now is the time to step out in faith and make it happen. I need resources to get going in this venture so I am seeking investors who have caught the vision to step forward with me to provide capital and the materials necessary to make Pentopia a reality.
I have a detailed plan for Pentopia and would love to share my vision with you. If you or someone you know wants to partner with me on this amazing project please email me and lets make Pentopia happen.
Pens back from the abyss – Six months of hell under the car seat
Ever drop stuff down the crack between the car seat and console of your car? I am always rescuing pens that have fallen into the abyss, months later as well. That’s exactly what happened to these used pens donated by Kristin from Highland Village Texas who sent them last September. The person who was supposed to give me the mail found these pens 6 months later under their seat while looking for something else.
This entire snafu could have been prevented if they had purchased the drop stop, a product designed to protect pens and other junk from falling under your car seat. I know what I want for Christmas.
