    Sharpening My Pencils

    Published by Pam Kessler | 146 words. · About 1 minute to read this article. - 24 Comments

    I put my son on the bus this morning. First day of school!!!

    We've had a wonderful summer, but it's time to get back to school.

    And back to work. Well, blogging I guess. Not sure if you can call something that you love work.

    I found this pencil sharpener at an estate sale this summer.

    It was attached to the wall in the basement and wasn't actually for sale. But once I laid eyes on it, I wanted it!

    So I ran to find the estate sale worker and asked him if I could, pretty please, buy it. The answer was yes, but only if I could get it off the wall myself. Off I went to the garage and rummaged through the toolboxes that were for sale and found an appropriate sized screwdriver and went to work.

    Who knew they made pink pencil sharpeners!

      Pam - What a neat find! I have one but mine isn't pink. Love the pink! They are so much better than the newer versions.

      Great deal! Even though you had to pry it off yourself. Perfectly pink.

      Hard to believe it's back to school time! Love that pencil sharpener! I almost bought an old pencil sharpener this past weekend but I let it go....it wasn't a cool pink one!

      That's awesome. It goes with all your other pink finds!

      I also just saw your pumpkin in the birdbath. Thanks, Pam, now I have to go buy a birdbath.
