Description
This wooden pencil case is made from pine and printed across its lid with the Fairies in the Garden design. Little fairies with pink, orange and pale wings dance among daisies, bright blue flowers, sprigs of tiny pale blue flowers and fluttering butterflies, with dots of pink, green and blue scattered between them. The pale natural grain of the pine shows all around the print, so the colours sit on warm wood. One end of the case is rounded and the other is square, and it measures 20.3cm long, 6cm wide and 3.1cm deep.
Inside, there is a space 19cm long, 4.8cm wide and 1.8cm deep, so a pencil or pen up to 19cm long lies flat, with room beside it for a rubber or a few colouring pencils. The case sits neatly on a desk or a bedside shelf, slips into a school bag or a rucksack without much bulk, and suits a craft drawer just as well, keeping crayons, brushes or felt tips together in one place. Because the lid comes off completely, everything inside is easy to see and reach.
The lid slides along grooves in the sides of the case to open it, and slides back in to close, with a small notch at its square end for a fingertip. There are no hinges or catches to break, and at 0.079KG it adds next to nothing to a bag. To care for it, dust with a soft dry cloth and wipe away marks with a barely damp cloth, drying it straight after; like any wood, it is best kept away from soaking. Fill it with a few good pencils and it makes a cheerful present that will be opened again and again.
