There are lots of things that our house doesn't own. Funny things that would normally be considered essential items for a house. We don't own a TV for instance. We don't have a microwave and for now, at least, we don't have a kettle. This little sauce jug is my kettle. I think I inherited it when I first moved out of home. A long abandoned pot that had been relegated to the back corners of the 'pots and pans' cupboard, retrieved and placed in my tiny box of "kitchen items" for a new life away from home. It's moved with me everywhere and I'm quite partial to it. I love the slightly acid green enamel, the small chips from years of use and it's functionality. It's the perfect size for boiling one cup of tea. I'd like to say that every morning I boil my water in this jug, but that wouldn't be the exact truth. You see, every morning Matthias boils water in this jug for my tea as I take a shower (yep, I'm spoilt). My tea is waiting for me when I've finished getting dressed with this cute little jug sitting beside it.

I don't know why this was relegated to the back of the cupboard - I love the colour too, and it is much more individual that the stainless steel 'replacement' whose main function is to heat brandy for flambee purposes. SB
ReplyDeleteI wish I had one of those, I love the colour!
ReplyDeleteI lived with no microwave for ages and they only thing that bothered me was the lack of microwave popcorn.
LOVE the first one! The dof is awesome.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's a cute pot, too. :)
Those are great shots. I love the little "kettle" too. Looks like something I'd spy in a garage sale or antique store and snatch up!
ReplyDeleteI love it, it is so cute - my hubby makes me tea in the morning too aren't we lucky! x

Oh, by the way, who needs TV when you have blogspot :)! Heh, and that's an absolutely adorable pot.
I am a huge fan of the electric kettle for tea (though I don't have a television or microwave, nor want either). However, that is the cutest - in one of my favorite colors, too. :)
ReplyDeleteOh - I love that colour so much. Believe it or not, I wish I had nail polish in it!
