Vintage Polish pencils
Ooooh. A parcel was waiting for me at home yesterday. All the way from Poland, wrapped in baby blue tissue paper, was this…
The note from Mrs Jones inside said she’d been back to the flea market she’d taken me to a year ago, on an early morning pencil run. Here’s a close up of the embossed ends. Ah, vintage stationery.

By far the most common is ‘ołówek’ 🙂 The Italian exercise book took me back to Italian lessons at school!
Hope it’s ‘zaczarowany olowek’;)))
