It’s incredibly hot for this time of year in Baltimore today. So I am celebrating the start of Fall by sharpening a Blackwing 211 to use in my Write Notepads Copper Anniversary edition. This could be one of my new favorite autumnal combinations.
Remember how, back in 2015, no one could have predicted that one of these pencils could set you back $40 to $50 a pop? as I said this thing into a rotary sharpener today, I imagined I was sharpening two $20 bills. Then I remembered that I only paid about $2 for this pencil. So I plan to use it down to nothing. I am, however, being very careful not to lose it to the hands of one of my children.
