Hi Honeys,
I'm back again😄 Yes, this is the second Blogtober post today. I'm playing catch up due to arthritis and the cold, damp weather both tag teaming against me.😳 It hasn't beat me yet honeys, sending so many gentle hugs to fellow spoonies who are also battling the elements this week🤗💖
On to today's (second) post then😄 Today's post is probably a silly one really. It's such a daft wee thing to be so excited about, but I just can't help it😊
There! Now I'm grinning again honeys😊 I spotted on the Home Bargains website that they have clear, acrylic "lazy Susans" and I had an idea. The little project has worked so well and now things that I use all the time all have a home, right by the cooker by the cooker....
OK, I'll share what has found a home on the lazy Susan. In fact, I'll turn it around for you (in photos) and you'll see why I'm loving it.💖 From the left then honeys (in the above photo)
* The cutest silicone tea infuser🌹 The little red plant pot is a holder or stand, while the infuser is a little bulb shape at the end of the flower. It lives there because it's to hand if needed but also because it makes me smile.😊
* The pretty little glass jar is from Ikea and as soon as I spotted it I knew what it would be perfect for honeys. It's where we keep sea salt for cooking. The basket above the lazy Susan (you can just see the bottom of it on the photos) is one of two matching hanging baskets from Ikea which attach to a matching rail on the wall.
The basket above the lazy Susan has two containers full of utensils (such as spatulas, wooden spoons etc) as well as other condiments such as Himalayan salt, pepper, olive oil etc.
* Sitting in front of the little salt dish is a tiny digital timer. Much needed these days to prevent me from burning the house down by burning dinner.😕
* Lastly, on this side of the lazy Susan is a pretty glass tea cup, also from Ikea, which I use to keep oxo (stock) cubes to hand at the cooker.
Next (if we turn the lazy Susan just a little, we still see the cup of stock cubes but can now see...
* The beautiful pale green mug, which has my bamboo coaster stored, sitting on top, is one of a pair. You'll see the other one, in a lovely pastel blue shade, further around the lazy Susan. They are Royal Doulton and they were a birthday gift from a very dear friend (thank you Miriam honey, love you x) they have roses on them and I absolutely love them.💖
Let's turn the lazy Susan again...
This is why I'm loving this little lazy Susan honeys.💖 As you can see, at the rear of the lazy Susan there are the two beautiful mugs from Miriam and in the middle is my little glass tea pot. It has a built in tea infuser, which is removable, and I use it to make my hot lemon water in the mornings.
I got this pretty little teapot from Ikea and they have a larger one available too. This smaller teapot is perfect for just me though because it holds exactly enough for two cups, letting me sip on my lemon water through the morning.
I used to use the teapots infuser, filling it with lots of lemon slices and letting it sit until I had the loveliest lemon water but now I make lemon cubes. You can see how I make them here honeys.🤗
Having a safe home on this little lazy Susan means my little glass teapot is safe from being dropped, nudged off worktops or any other disaster that's all-too-likely-to-happen if it had a less safe home to be returned to after use. Same goes (times infinity!) for those beautiful mugs from Miriam.💖
Almost back to the beginning of the little lazy Susan then, sitting in front of the pretty pastel blue mug with the beautiful roses (I really, really love these Miriam, thank you sweetheart x) is the little flower shaped tea infuser...
And as we turn the lazy Susan again...
We're back to the beginning again.💖
Such a silly thing to be so happy about I know but it's worked so well and I find when something has a home it's more likely to be put away straight away too.
Over to you honeys. Do you use lazy Susans to help stay organised? Do you have any organising tips to share? Till next time dear ones, stay warm and safe, hugs always x
