Now as the heads of flowers inch skyward, I’m seeing Lupine and even Foxglove color up all around me. The pink of Lupine reminds me of cotton candy and bubblegum, and the white Foxglove is as yummy as old fashioned homemade whipped cream. Come by and help me admire the flowers. The haning baskets are regal enough for a queen with their deep blue-velvety colors interspersed with a splash of yellow or red. I can’t say enough about how much I enjoy summer and flowers and interacting with staff as they water each day. I also love it when folks come by to get their photo taken with me. So if you haven’t strolled along with river in awhile or taken time to look at all the lovely flowers throughout downtown, it’s time to get out and flatfoot it!

We are proud to introduce Conklin pens to the Fairbanks pen community. Conklin has a long tradition of producing quality fountain pens. The Crescent was endorsed by Mark Twain.

The Endura is faceted and comes in unique colors and resin. The Endura uses international cartridges or converters. We also have one limited edition Herringbone Roller Ball by Conklin.
