Drawn Ewe at Popup shop #goherdwick
When I think of the Lake District (and stationery) I immediately think of the Pencil Museum in Keswick. I was originally disappointed to hear that the re-opening of the pencil museum has been delayed. However, there is still a fantastic popup shop by Cumberland Pencil Company in the centre of Keswick for all your pen and pencil needs – stocking a fantastic selection of derwent products (and three herdwick sheep).
