I am excited to be joining Lady Cordelia again for Thrifty Thursday, where we lovingly showcase our thrifted junk! Proving, one Thursday at a time, that true style can found in the dumpster nearest you.
Above you will see....my favorite tray, my favorite salt and pepper shakers, and my favorite sugar bowl. They all came from the thrift store for peanuts. Smashing, aren't they. I actually sort of styled that photo, which I usually don't do.
In the spirit of full disclosure, here is the reality.
The tray sits beside my stove and holds a jumble of odds and ends that I use almost constantly.
Lemons. I use at least two lemons a day. There is always a cut lemon on the counter. Lemon makes everything better. Salad dressings, soup, meat, beer. Everything. Write it down.
Butter. We use way too much butter. Even the cat likes butter. If there is a textured trench in the stick o' butter, guess what? Puss has been on the counter. Don't tell Matt.
The rest is the usual stuff...garlic, s and p, ginger, olive oil, a jalapeno, osha tincture, a water buffalo, porcini salt, and Della's cinnamon sugar.
I think the porcini salt balances the lick trench nicely.
Be thrifty and prosper.
(what sits beside your stove?)
I love your "styled" photo but your reality is picture perfect! Love it all! Our kitchen is a tad boring at the moment. The boys are able to stand on the back of the couch and reach in through the cutout window and grab anything on the counter. We've already broken two porcelain chickens so I'm leaving in bare for the time being!
ReplyDeleteGreat post- thanks for tip with lemons..never really thought of them as that handy.Your images are so bright and cheery and that plate is perfect for the kitchen, makes me want to cook!
ReplyDeleteI should by more lemons, I bet it makes you feel happy! Love your sign off "be thrifty and prosper" We've been watching Star Trek movies, so much fun!!
ReplyDeleteYay for lemons, I love them too and use them regularly, you are so right, they make everything taste better.
ReplyDeleteI love your tray by the way, beautiful!
I think I want your tray! :)
ReplyDeleteI keep a pot of sea salt, the pepper grinder, Greek seasoning,
kelp granules, raw vinegar evoo, and hot sauce...use them all daily.
What is this osha tincture you mention? I don't think I've ever
heard of it and now I'm thinking I might be missing out on something
important! :)
Our cats like butter too. But it's the melted on toast kind of butter they lick. I mean like.
ReplyDeleteha ha ha ha. if I see your cat in the butter I'll mush his/her face in it. Sound good? I know I would love to do that to out cat. Oh. Did I say that outloud?
ReplyDeleteThanks for offering to send me those awesome S and P shakers! ; )
XOXOXOX
