Get to the Point, Part II

In May of last year I wrote a post about our inadequate electric pencil sharpener and the new hand-cranked one we got to replace it.

It worked great...for a while.

But we soon came to realize that they just don't make things like they used to. Before long the new hand-cranked sharpener failed to work properly.

So, we were left with one option. Since they don't make things like they used to, we bought a vintage sharpener!

 [It has a new home in our kitchen right next to our vintage bottle opener.]

A finely sharpened pencil is definitely one of the simple joys in life. 

As is apparent from the look on Alexadra's face!
