    I discovered your company and channel only recently - and Leila's off to pursue a dream? I already miss her!
    Also, congratulations for being so up-front and transparent about this Big Change. A few months ago, a well-known pen company had a public relations disaster when a beloved member of their team just disappeared. It wasn't explained or handled well. The meltdown was shocking.
    So, thank you for NOT having Leila disappear in a puff of smoke and NOT making evasive, defensive non-statements about it.
    Plus, Leila will still be around on weekends? Cool! 😸
    The only truly painful part of this upload was hearing Faber continually pronounced "FAY-ber." Eek! That's like hearing the latest news from Pen Bow-tech. 😬
    I'm okay. I'll pet my cat and calm down.🐈‍⬛
    I'm looking forward to FINALLY making up my mind and placing my first order with you good and gifted people.
    Best wishes from Vermont ❄️💙❄️

    Another fun video from Leila and Laura! And a message for Rachel Lee: Graf von Faber-Castell has always been focused on quality. They don't put marketing priorities before quality control/assurance priorities. This makes the Company unique relative to the pen luxury market, and also unique relative to all business! Yes, that's right--while most companies put sales and marketing first, Faber puts quality, reputation, and the customer first. Kudos to you and your great Company!

      Thank you, Pat! I showed my nephew (an engineering grad student at MIT) your pen rest today, and he was impressed with the design! I've been using it a LOT.

    Best wishes to Leila, and I'll have to take care to make sure I have some Saturday visits to the store. Lots of fun mixed with honest humanity in this one, and I think Penelope was pretty busy! I have to admit that I didn't try too hard to identify her pens because I was fashioning something for your MAILBAG as I watched.

      I very much enjoyed the store visit as well. :D

    I know its German and folks seem to have an inordinate amount of difficulty pronouncing German words and brands...However, just like Lamy....Faber is pronounced with a long A sound like AHHHH

      You're right... but, for some reason, I almost never hear Americans saying it that way, even ones in the pen industry!

    The new Narwhal pens are cool but those muddy resins you’re featuring are not good for sales. They should go back to the factory. Very unattractive and I’m wondering why the company even sends these out. Quality control seems to be lacking which is why I won’t buy a pen like this sight unseen.
    Love your show and Pen Boutique has the best customer service in the world!!!
    All the best to Leila on your new endeavor. Please don’t be a stranger on You tube.
