Such a Beautiful Tool...
I stopped by a local thrift store on my way home...
This is the strangest thrift store I have ever known. There are a bunch of older women running the store and they overprice everything, everything (in thier opinion) has great value. I have overheard them gossiping about customers, they like to find out what you are going to use the objects they sell for. They have hung a sign over the register that says, "No Haggling! Our Prices Are Firm."
I paid 8.45 for these two very awesome objects.
I tried not to purchase the brand, thinking about bad karma, the poor animals, but the oddity of the thing and the fact that one of the three letters is an 'M', won out. I may just start signing my work with an 'M'. The brand has three letters, an R, an M and a W. I wonder if there is a way to see if this is a bonafide ranchers brand?
But Deborah made me start thinking about cooking utensils in an all new light when she sent this fabu thing through the mail. I don't know if I blogged about it, and I am feeling too lazy to search through my broken archives. Anyway. She got me some German cookie molds. The batter dip, deep fried kind of cookie, for use in my soy wax pot. I love them! And they have made me want to haunt thrift stores in search of more great kitchen utensils.
Thank you Deb!!!
And then... I go over to Deb's blog and who is she photographed with? Claudine Hellmuth, whom I just blogged about yesterday. Am I jealous?
