Sharpened Memories

My 06/13/25  postcard captures a lovingly built collection of pencil sharpeners, found in an estate shop on Menaul. Someone spent years, maybe decades, hunting each piece, driven by care, curiosity, and joy. Now, after their passing, all that care and effort rest on a shelf, waiting to be sold.
