One of my favorite things is collecting new treasures for my kitchen. I even like to create things that give my kitchen caricature. My new treasure that my hubby got me a William Sonoma yesterday was a honey dipper. :D I don't think I've ever had so much fun with honey. Then the other day I decided to make my old starbucks frappuccino bottles into semi old milk bottles. This blog gave me the idea, but off course I changed it to my liking
http://www.thecakeblog.com/2011/06/milkaholic-milk-bottles.html. Her's look really good, but I just wanted to keep the original tops of mine instead of black. I also got vintage looking milk bottles way back in February for a Valentine's idea that I had. I wanted to drink out of them with cute pink swirled paper straws. They were bigger then I anticipated and I had to attach a plastic straw to inside of the paper one so we reach the bottom of our glass. :) I guess I should of got the creamer one's. Anyway I knew that after I used them for that they would make a great piece for my kitchen. I got them on amazon, but I'm sure you can get them anywhere. At the moment Target has some cute colored one that have lids. They also have these cute ceramic creamer holder's that look like milk carton's. <3 My sister got me a gift card to Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory and I picked a box of salted caramel chocolates that had a copper look bowl and spoon on it. Of course I keep the little trinket and hung it in kitchen. I probably could have put it on a key chain as well. Do you ever have that problem were you accumulate so many spoons and other baking utensils that you just don't know where to put them? That is what happened to me, but I didn't want to but one of those cylinder holders. That's when I came up with the idea to use and old oatmeal container for my bigger utensils, and coffee can for my smaller. Everything else stays in the draws considering there are some funking looking gadgets out there. I also used a small mason jar for our silverware. I did this mainly because we live in an apartment and none of those separators fit in the drawers and I didn't like our silverware floating around. To add some life to the coffee pot I download and printed some labels I found to give it a slight vintage look. I got my labels from here

Every time I'm in the kitchen cooking up my lasted concoction, he is right there on the stool next to me watching me cook. I even bought him a little chef's hat. :)
