my christmas loot…
merry christmas everyone! check out some of the goodies i received from santa… yes, i know, shamefully materialistic.
this is the CYCLONE COCKTAIL SHAKER. how cool! it’s acrylic and stainless steel and runs off two triple a batteries. no more shaking vigorously for at least ten seconds… all though these days that’s the only exercise i get… BAD GIRL gwen! just dump the ingredients and press on. dont’ leave on for too long because it will actually heat the beverage from the sheer energy. (bed bath & beyond) thanks bryan : )
next up are some HANDMADE COASTERS… made out of a rescued tile en route to the dumpster. one tile was cut up into nine coasters, ground down around the edges, and then sis’ pasted velour on the bottom. this IS recycling at it’s best!
then we have a beautiful HAND QUILTED APRON from mom… perfect for bar cheffing.
and lastly but not leastly, my niece katrina looks like a future bartender, no?
What great stuff! I’ve thought that tile would make a nice coaster but I never thought of grinding the edges down — looks terrific.
I’m glad you had a merry Christmas. Cheers to you and yours, and best wishes for a happy New Year and a wonderful 2008!
