Penbbs Etsy Store Weirdness

[jekostas]

Has anyone else ordered something off the PenBBS Etsy store lately and had a bunch of pictures of the owner's cats included in the package?

 

Because, uh

As long as it is just the cat ..

Enjoy!

Well, it's given you paws for thought at least...

Was the pen an “Amber is a cat”?

How cool! Not only is it a nice personal touch, in 50 years, that'll be consumer-grade ephemera! And if it's kept with the pen and supporting documents, you can lay a base of strong provenance Holy collectibilty, batman!

No, it was "Tiny Happiness", which is the red/white koi pattern

Think of the many worse things you could have gotten, especially if they've got a cat packing the goods.

It's better than that.

 

They're STICKERS!

Totally right, especially when you take into account that the cat stickers are from one of the actual owners of Penbbs and they are her cats which she actually names some of the pens after. It doesn't get more authentic than that!

Right! I just bought a 267 from Beini on Etsy. It's in Amber is a Cat acrylic, with a paw print nib. I'm hoping that she throws in some stickers of the namesake cat!
