Description

Wall-mounted notepad and string holder. The holder consists of a green painted back board with a small, covered box. A hole at the center of the box allow string from a roll inside the box to be pulled out as needed. There is a small hole drilled into the top of the box to hold a pencil, and a small pad of paper mounted to the backing board at the top. A wooden plaque at the front of the box reads, "I'm handy on the kitchen wall, You can safely bet; To hide your ring, Provide your string, Keep notes lest you forget."
