hmm. very creative and space-saving, but i'm worried that my clumsy self would poke an eye out with this. it also strangely reminds me of that picture of a genetically altered mouse with an ear coming out of its back.

It's cute, but how would the pencil react to being washed?

At first I loved this, but then I had a vision of flipping a spoon over to make a recipe note, and flinging tomato sauce all over the kitchen in the process.

Faith, I agree. Plus, would it fit a standard pencil sharpener? I'd guess no, because it wouldn't be sturdy if it were that small in diameter. Cute, but it would go in my white elephant gift stockpile if I received one.

I bought one of these the other day from buysebastianbergne.com. Love it! For a small kitchen, it's perfect.
