An Apple a Day....

Don't you love apples? So crisp and crunchy ......and full of vitamins! But no, that is not the point of the picture. The point is my new colander!! Isn't it a beauty? I am so in love with it. It is the perfect size, has little feet so it stands on it's own and actually drains, and has the cutest star patterned holes!
 This was also a recent estate sale find, I really haven't gone to that many estate sales this year, this was from the same one I post about a couple of weeks ago, it was a gold mine! I think I would have paid four times the amount I paid, it is just so pretty. But then I only paid fifty-cents for it!!
Darling isn't it?
Don't forget your apple a day.......

    That is a gorgeous photo!! And I have a colander just exactly like that one, but then of course it's because I am vintage myself. :-) Love that photo.

      Thanks!
      It must of been a popular item. Not sure what has happened to them all.....maybe people are still using them!

    Love the apples in the colander--they sure show off your great find! I have one of these from my Mom's things, but it's all beaten up and well used. I think it's the stars that make them so outstanding--and the cute little feet. I can tell you're going to enjoy it!

    I've got 2 like that! One was my Mom's and the other is mine that I've had for a L O N G time! LOL! I'm old and so are all my things! Mine aren't as in as good of shape as that one. I used mine for years so one leg is bent etc. But they still work! Glad you found such a find in such good shape!
