I’ve a folder named Misc on my pc where I stash things that don’t quite fit anywhere else. In it I discovered a few vintage pre-blog typings. This one is probably circa 2004. It’s one of those arb ‘eh?’ pieces.
Today’s random regurgitation-

I quite like them. It’s a sort of functional visual pun. In certain circles in the 90’s, a salt-and-pepper couple meant one white and one black partner. I think the idea is very clever, even more so because as SBM says, you see what you want. Rorschach kitchenware.

Yup something is wrong with me too, and wtf is that supposed to be anyway, i dont see any practical use?
February 11, 2009 - 9:30 am
Mea Culpa. They’re salt and pepper shakers. I just realised my post didn’t mention that. I’ve since edited for clarity.
They’re quite utilitarian Waseem.
February 10, 2009 - 4:30 pm
Oh yes….I can’t stop going into @home or Mr Price Home or Boardmans since this ring has been attached to my finger.
There’s just something about all those lovely things for the house!
I really love those shakers! For some odd reason I have too many salt and pepper shakers, so I will stay away for now. Lol.
I wanted to buy myself the weird silicone-orangey muffin tray the other day. It was just so ORANGE..I loved it!
