Day 46 - Kitchen

I'm reading a new book called The Joy of Less and the first chapter suggested looking critically at the items in your home asking a variety of questions. I was inspired to head to my kitchen with the question "Would I replace you if you were broken or gone?" in mind.

1 to 3. Shape pancake makers - more trouble than they're worth. I kept two hearts for Valentine's Day and because they aren't as much of a pain with their open shape.
4. Bear cookie cutter
5. Plastic lid with no container
6. Foil pan with a slice in it
7. My very favorite serving plate, accidentally broken by DD#2 when she was unloading the dishwasher. Poor, sweet girl was devastated and kept apologizing through her tears. After making sure SHE was OK, I assured her it was just a plate and a thing isn't nearly as important as a person. I decided to include in here in ProjectTwentySix because I will not replace this item. I will use something else I have.
8 to 13. Various keys to things we don't own anymore
14. Bag of long balloons
15. Earrings I won't ever wear
16 & 17. Pins of a fire truck and dalmation
18. Jewelry gift box
19. Single stem flower keeper
20. 35MM film - unused
21. Bottle brush
22. Some gadget that is supposed to seal bags and worked only one time for me, but has cluttered up my fridge for almost 8 years
23. A ranch dip mix that is hardened with age - no date on packaging
24 & 25. Seasoning mixes included with long ago meal swap meals.
26. A stopper for a sippy cup we no longer have

Day 37 - Cookie Shooter

1. & 2. Pot & lid I bought at a garage sale this summer. It came as a set of two and I am keeping the larger pot
3. Cookie Shooter
4. Cap
5. to 10. Tips
11. to 26. Powder design things.

My sweet aunt gave me this cookie shooter about 5 years ago and I've never managed to use it. I love, LOVE to bake, but can't see keeping this any longer if I haven't used it in all this time.

Day 30 - Princess House Glass & Kitchen

1. Baby food grinder - a very practical gift from my mom that I didn't use once. Sorry Mom! But she used it when she visited.
2. to 6. the last bottle and parts - Hurrah!
7. Princess House bud vase
8. & 9. Random vases
10. Coffee mug from one of my husband's contract jobs
11. & 12. Peeler/corer/slicer and mounting block
13. parmesan grater
14. to 21. Princess House water goblets - bought for $8 at a yard sale 7 years ago and I've not used them once.
22. salad knife from my sister-in-law. Cool idea, but I can use the chef's knife and keep one less thing in the kitchen.
23. tiny scoop
24. tiny cheese spade
25. extra can opener
26. garnish knife - I don't use the one in the knife block, much less this extra!

My grandmother had a huge collection of Princess House glass and I have always loved the design. However, it doesn't make sense to 'collect' something I almost never use so I'm letting these items go.
