Salt Pig.

My last purchase before moving in to the new house was 

a Nigella Lawson Salt Pig in blue.

So started the conversation with my kids on why it is called a pig,

when it actually is an egg shape.

So I did a little investigating.

The use of the word "Pig"  is found in Northern English and

 Scottish dialect meaning earthenware vessel.  

Which is also where the term

 "Piggy Bank"comes from as well.

 so you learn something new everyday.

It's great to have inquisitive minds around to question things

that maybe you wouldn't otherwise research.

I love Nigella's kitchenware's, have my eye on some other lovelies too.

Need to win that lotto :-)

Off to paint.

Happy Wednesday.

Bargain Shopping

I was in need a new Kettle and Toaster as the old ones

had died.  So I went on the hunt for something pretty.

I found these

They have a lovely pearly white finish.

Problem was on one had them in stock.

They had red, or blue or black so I got on line and found them

here 

Not only did I save $30 on the kettle and $40 on the toaster they

also deliver free.  Very easy to order and only took about a 

week to arrive.  They sell all sorts of things.

I missed my delivery yesterday, so am off to the post

office today to pick them up.

Very happy with my purchase.

Having a day off from the painting today and taking

my kids to the movies.

Happy Tuesday
