salad daze

part of a 'party' apéritif ensemble

do you know of anybody with a fetish-like passion for kitchen artillery? you've landed. i have a true amour for salad dryers!

somewhere still wrapped up, sits this one (i did resist a fiery red one of the sorts a few months ago), but last week at the thrift shop i encountered a new buddy.

i should really say buddies, because chosing between these two i could not, so i finally decided on buying them both.

apart from the fact i am now with three (dryers), they're akward objects to stow away in the cupboard too! but don't you just ♥love♥ the (almost) colloseum design on the last one?

i think it's a 'he'

then on my way out, i got distracted by an ancient, pristine white (only a little biro-d), silent head. i think the bedroom will be the first room he'll end up in, after the walls get renovated. just to make him feel at home already, i tried his head out against vintage paper, and frankly, he shone. (you don't think it's a lady's head now, do you? son was adamant : he's a male, keep him out!).

female and dog

wholly in the tradition of hauling vintage stuff from under dust and years of neglect, i'd laid my eye on her. i waited until the perfect moment arose (sales), and now i kind of own her (can one call anything really, 'property'?). she'll visit the washing machine, before joining the cue in the workroom, where she'll probably end up (cut up) in a grocery bag? imagine a leek sticking out, in continuation of those renaissance leaves? enjoy those vintage finds at sophie's!
