Wonder Pens - Life Behind a Stationery Shop 
Will hopefully be dropping by the bricks and mortar store 11am sharp Tuesday morning. My list is in hand and I am ready to pick up more cool pens and inks. I must say, your web site is fantastic. It is great to be able to shop your store online and decide on items. So many other stores do not give a good picture of what they sell. The idea of taking a picture and putting online what you have is a fantastic one ! Then when I visit the store I can go right to what I want and browse anything I may have missed. Thanks !
Great! We’ll look forward to seeing you soon. The website is always a work in progress, updating, taking new photos, adding new products, thanks so much for spending time on it, and I’m glad you’re finding it a help! 🙂
