I love pens. I didn't always feel that way about pens. Then I met Barry Rubin, owner of INK the Pen Store. Now when I pull out my pen people notice the beautiful writing instrument in my hand and the lovely lime green pen case in my purse.
I met Barry Rubin at a Downtown Network dinner at Masa's when my husband and I were living in downtown Minneapolis around 2005. We had a wonderful time meeting new people and enjoying the fine food. Then the server brought out our checks. Barry pulls out this gorgeous pen and I pull out my ... wait for it ... Hello Kitty pen. Prior to that moment in time, I was proud of my very inexpensive, but very cute Hello Kitty pen. But when I saw Barry's pen - well, I felt a bit embarrassed.
Not long after that dinner I made my first visit to INK in the IDS Center. It was an incredible shopping experience unlike any other and the beginning of my love affair with pens. Now I can't walk out of the Pen Store without a new pen.
Last October I purchased my latest favorite pen. The Liebelle Chromatic Brushed Chrome with Brass Rollerball Pen. It looks fabulous next to my Stella & Dot jewelry. This is my pen as fashion statement.
I highly recommend a visit to INK. You won't regret it. Click here for INK.
