Ever since I shacked up with the Other and got myself double-barelled, I find myself increasingly drawn to stores like Boardmans, @home and Mr Price Home Zone.
I can’t quite explain the science behind the magnetism, but say “silicon sunflower cake mould” and you could tweeze every single one of my generous nostril hairs (another gift from the makers of Bhamjee) and I’d still be focused on bundt pans.
That said, just look at these salt and pepper shakers! The holes do double-time (er… ok, that sounds very very wrong) as rudimentary facial features and exit points for the seasonings. I can hear you all go “Aw…agh toggie”, and if you’re not, what the fuck is wrong with you?
I got a set from @home this weekend (Alberto Mantilla knockoffs, they’d have to be at the price I paid).

aww sweeties, wonder about the Other’s expression.
arjus-majus.
too cute, thanks for the pop-in and gift! …
that’s what we’re calling our set.
Ok, bought the last set from Design Quarter
It’s just so cute.
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?
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.
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!
Still havent gone to pick up a set from the Fourways branch. I hope they have some by this weekend.
It is only after I got married that I became interested in kitchen stuff
hmmm … i wonder when they’re having that ‘funny name homewares place’ sale thing again.
… weglerchs? wechlers? wachlars? …
Love? Who said anything about Love? I’m talking about kitchen accessories and stuff you put in food.
Y’all see what you want to see;)
I’d be in the same category as Killa and Azra…
Azra, love ur love analogy
I maintain, Love is Death warmed up.
Aww, so cute….
Can I puke now please
Im clearly one of thos in the “what the fuck is wrong with me” category..
Looks like something u would serve a HAPPY MEAL with..
I’d like to be more Martha than I am right now, but I have to contend with other stuff first, but you right.
Agge toggie man (is what my mom would say) I’d say,”Haai thats (dats) oulik!”
hmm… its sculpture-sque to say the least
hey im not double-barreled and i die for multi-coloured silicon baking pans!
speaking of which, look out for mini bundt sixes. they look amazing!
my nose hairs are my own though… strands of DNA dont come cheap these days, and so any loss is lamented
