High Speed Hand Mixers & GREAT neighbors



"High Speed" hand mixer? Isn't that just too funny! Yes, I guess it will go as fast as your hand can crank it while holding it in a bowl of batter, trying not to get it all over the place. I just love these little guys! This one resides above my kitchen sink on a beam next to some kitchen related art and plates and rolling pins. I love how it looks.



My neighbor, RC has this lovely grouping of kitchen tools on her shed out just outside her kitchen door. There are meat tenderizers, lots of hand mixers, teapots, potato mashers, flour sifters and lots of other gadgets. All of these tools had lovely green handles but the North Idaho weather has not been kind. It is a cute way to display them. I can see it from my kitchen window too, so I enjoy it daily. In summer the sweet scented climbing rose planted next to it blooms and the view is spectacular. Thanks RC for making my view a little brighter. I do have the BEST neighbors!





I love to participate in Vintage Thingy Thursday at www.coloradolady.blogspot.com !

  3. CC I agree. When she first put them out there I was kinda sad. They were in really fine condition now all rusty with the paint worn off. I have gotten use to them aging over time.

  9. High-speed mixer, ha! I loved playing with it dry as a kid, but I only remember making a splattery mess of things when I actually had to use one. Neat things on your neighbor's shed. Too bad they are left to the elements, tho.
