You know those hacks that take everyday articles and use them for an easy solution to a problem? A little while ago I saw a suggestion where a common household fork with bent tines could be effectively used to remove weeds from the cracks between patio pavers. My husband is very attentive to keeping our driveway and patio weed free so why not try to make the job easier for him? We didn't have any old forks laying around so off to Goodwill to look for some inexpensive forks.
Forks are 19¢ at Goodwill...what a deal for digging out weeds! I bought a couple. And then on the shelf behind me I saw this tray. My mom had purchased a set of these dishes a long time ago and they were our everyday dishes for quite a few years. I am such a sucker for dishes, this tray brought back good memories and what a bargain for $2.99.
And just to let you know, the fork hack for digging out weeds didn't work that great...at least for our patio pavers it didn't.
Right. I won't try my kitchen forks on our patio slabs then.
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty dish.
As soon as I saw that dish, I just knew it had to come home with me.
DeleteIf I had the space, I'd collect china
ReplyDeleteWhen my mom died, she had 8 full sets of china. Each of my daughters chose a set that they wanted but they are still at my house. I kept a couple sets in addition to mine. Finding new homes for the remaining sets was hard as people don't use fine china nowadays. I don't use my china that often but when I do, it adds a special touch to the occasion.
DeleteI love the tray! We have one more thing in common, dishes. I'm a sucker for dishes or at least I used to be. At one time I owned 14 different sets of dishes. I know, crazy. Now I just take pictures when I see some I like. I've whittled my sets down to 6. That's still way too many.
ReplyDeleteIf you have the space, it's not too many 😊 and if the dishes bring you joy, it's not too many.
