Love Handles!

I love this picture, and not just because I have a complete design crush on Meg Braff. (well OK, maybe that is the entire reason) I love the blue porcelain lamp base and vase, and the punch of deep pink just seals the wow factor for me. I also notice anything with a bamboo handle - I can't help it! Whatever you are sticking out of that little silver pot, I noticed you well and truly. (are you pen nibs or cutlery handles????)
This might be a good time to introduce you to my measly collection of  faux bamboo handles.



 They are not nearly as elegantly displayed, but we do actually use them. I thought it would be fun to have a set of cutlery for picnics and outdoors so we have a jumble of allsorts in this wooden box. In the mix are a few faux bamboo handles.......the children love them and are now using them everyday. It makes for a scramble to the dinner table to see who can get their favourites first! (only drawback - I can't bring myself to put them in the d/w so we hand wash them!) Anything to make mealtimes a breeze is fine with me.
BTW - you can find similar, brightly coloured cutlery here!
