Every home should have one

For ages, I have yearned for a letter opener. You know, one of those slender tools that helps you simply and elegantly slit open envelopes. (I tussle with envelopes - it's a special skill I have - and often they fight back.)

The obvious place to look for such an implement is a touristy shop that sells souvenirs but, until today, I haven't been able to track one. Now I am the proud owner of this gorgeous souvenir of my own country.

 

Isn't it totally over-the-top? Just in case you want a closer look, here's the insert section.

Made in China, of course!

So now I am happy (and obviously easily pleased.)
