COTTAGE LIFESTYLE: Love at first sight…

Love at first sight…

I spotted this fabulous blue and white strainer at a garage sale this weekend. It was priced at $6…it would have been great to get it for less…but I wasn’t going home without it…so I forked over the $6. I am smitten. Love everything about it…colors, design, three cute feet on the bottom, and that it is a triangle form more or less. I immediately used it for rinsing tomatoes…not only is it useful as a strainer I think it would make for a cool serving dish (strawberries, grapes).

I love it enough that I may just leave it sitting out on the coroner of the sink all the time.
