"A Close Shave..." (in explore) -- MACRO MONDAYS - 26.2.18 - "Less Than An Inch" & FLICKR FRIDAY 260 - 16.2.18: "Simple Pleasures"

Ok... I just love the fragrance of freshly sharpened pencils, and especially the Dixon Ticonderoga www.dixonticonderoga.com (ahhh... cedar wood...!!!), and so keep the shavings in a small dish in my study as a sort of "pot pourri"...

 

Yes, I am indeed easily and simply pleased... Lol :-)

 

(*This is a shaving from a brand new blunt pencil - fresh out of the box - hence the gradual widening as it spirals around**)
