Currently Inked #12 | 8 September 2016


This episode of Currently Inked is sponsored by Vanness Pens, and independent brick and mortar pen store in business since 1938, and currently run by the third generation of Vannesses. Based in Little Rock Arkansas, Vanness Pens has one of the most extensive collections of ink available in the US, including several brands exclusive to them. In addition to their impressive ink selection, though, Vanness Pens also carries a wide variety of pens, paper, and other accessories.  For the month of September, Vanness Pens is featuring the Aurora Optima. With a new, lower price point, this high-end luxury pen is an even better value than it used to be. And viewers of The Pen Habit can receive an additional 10% off their Aurora Optima purchase by using the coupon code PENHABIT at checkout when they have an Optima in the cart.
