not so radical recycling... but still cool.

SPOON RESTS.

i, like probably many in this universe, drink a lot of coffee. or tea. or some drink or another that needs to be stirred. and i don't want stains and stickies on my countertops.

so a while back i went and bought some cute teapot shaped melamine spoon/teabag rests. two red, and two blue.


but then, as many of you know, i have a big dislike for anything plastic or the like, so i found some glass canning jar lid liners, and love them to bits as spoon rests. and they have all different sorts of patterns pressed into the glass. vintage style recycling.


now, all my spoon rests seem to wind up in the dishwasher (yet to be washed) at the same time, and i run out. so recently i utilized something i think is neat and kinda pretty (and tend to hang on to for that reason, in some strange hope i'll make windchimes or some such with them, lol) - the lids from frozen juice concentrate. and they is a stylin' grey metal, sleek and modern spoon rests. just throw them in the dishwasher, is all i do!


a simple but cool recycle. very green.

i am the maven of 'green'. aaaah, yessss. *flips hair*

lol.

so.... anybody want the red and blue melamine tea-pot shaped ones? (two of each)
anybody from town is welcome to come pick them up, or i'll bring 'em to church. :)

    You should totally link this up to a works for me Wednesday! Or make do Monday post! Such a clever Idea. I put my spoon in a empty candle holder and then went to use it and it smelt like strawberry's, which didn't go well with my potato soup.

The Radical Summons: "Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp and bear the reproach He endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come." Hebrews 13:13.

"The Spirit never loosens where the Word binds; the Spirit never justifies where the Word condemns; the Spirit never approves where the Word disapproves; the Spirit never blesses where the Word curses." —Thomas Brooks

‎"God receives none but those who are forsaken, restores health to none but those who are sick, gives sight to none but the blind, and life to none but the dead. He does not give saintliness to any but sinners, nor wisdom to any but fools. In short: He has mercy on none but the wretched and gives grace to none but those who are in disgrace. Therefore no arrogant saint, or just or wise man can be material for God, neither can he do the work of God, but he remains confined within his own work and makes of himself a fictitious, ostensible, false, and deceitful saint, that is, a hypocrite." --Martin Luther (W.A. 1.183ff)

i will not let You go: "Jacob's sense of his total debility and utter defeat is now the secret of his power with his friendly Vanquisher. God can overthrow all the prowess of the self-reliant, but He cannot resist the earnest entreaty of the helpless." --Albert Barnes

i will not let You go: "Jacob's determination did not flow from his strength, it flowed from his weakness." --Charles Leiter
