This is my mums kitchen drawer. I was looking for tools and found it hard to find anything in this sea of useful looking things. I'm not sure how really useful they are though. Plenty of elastic bands and bits of string and lolly sticks to label plant pots with, paper clips and drawing pins, sachets of powder for vase flowers and old nylon tights which she uses in the garden to tie things like trees to stakes - they never rot - amongst other stuff.
I was going to tidy the drawer so it would be easier to find things - but then I didn't have the heart because it seems like a work of art in itself. Also unfortunately my mum was in hospital over Xmas, (the first time she's shown any real signs of her great age) so I didn't want to feel like I was taking advantage - I would hate it if someone tidied my stuff!!!!
And then I found a repaired elastic band - even though was no shortage of complete ones. Obviously I've inherited some of these tendancies.....
