My Place & Yours = Tea Towel or Dish Cloth ...

Over at Danni's Hello Owl ... 

the theme for this week is "Tea Towel" ...

they're called "Dish Towels" in the USA ...

this gem happened during my animal print era ...

$4.99 for a set of three "Dish Cloths" via ebay from the USA ...

a leopard, a zebra and a check print...

they're the best I've ever used!

My Place and Yours = Taaaaaaaa Daaaaaaa Kitchen Love ...

Dani over at Helloowl host of My Place and Yours asks about our ...

Kitchen Love ...

well ... knock me down with a feather ...

my previous post HERE ...

was partially on the kitchen theme ... 

about my knob change

but ...

let me show you my #1 Kitchen Love secret ...

no more stinky, ripped, gluggy, kitchen sponges,

use face washers or as my Mum used  to call them 'flannels'!!!

No, No, No not the bathroom washers ...

go buy some new, cheap ones ... 

like these little beauties via Best & Less at 50 cents each ...

they rinse out beautifully ...

you can pop them in the wash ...

you can have a spare there for grubby hands and accidents. 

After having spent my working life in kitchens ...

plus being an anal, clean freak, Virgo,

this tip from my pet shop boys ...

gave me instant Kitchen Love! 

Washing up and wiping down is a dream ...

along with slipping my hands into soft, smooth, cotton lined Chux gloves ...

no stinky, smelliness like days of old ...

it's Kitchen Love to max at my house.

There's more Kitchen Love going on at Dani's HERE >>>

My Place and Yours ... Where You Sleep

Over at My Place and Yours, my fave Monday spot to visit Dani asks us ...

'Where You Sleep' ...

Here's mine ...

Linen is courtesy of a comp I won at InsideOut Magazine when I subscribed ... Yayyyyyyy that was a treat!

I bought the two European pillows as the prize included pillow cases ... but ... they're a pain in the butt hoying them on and off the bed... too bulky ... tho' I must admit ...

I'm feeling pretty spesh when I check out the pics I jumped up and took for Dani ...

everything you see except bed, linen and reading stuff is an op shop, flea market, online or garage sale find ... 

plus here's where the daytime naps happen ...

head on the velvet cushion ...

velvet patchworth throw keeping toes warm ...

Blossie within arms reach ...

Bliss!

Pop over to Dani's to see more sleeping spots HERE.

Hope your week is wonderful everyone!

My Place and Yours ... Yellow

This week Daniella asked us to show Yellow ...

Mmmmm I was sure I didn't have much yellow round me!

Then ...

I remembered my recycled mens neckties awaiting transformation ... 

and

my Bondi, most favourite, tie of all ... 

my signature yellow gold bracelets ...

my bunch of gorgeous bananas

and

my grandma's yellow pot with the odd lid that I'll never part with!

It seemed such a hard task to begin with ;)
