I have a red magnetic timer from Kitchen Stuff Plus and I love it. I use it all the time for baking, cooking and reminding myself when my laundry is done.
I love the timer! I wanted to find one in aqua, though the yellow is very tempting. That apron is so pretty!
OMG don't do this to me! I must resist. I must resist.
I love the aprons I got from Kitschn Glam. They have some fun patterns. And some of them are reversible! http://www.kitschnglam.com/
I have two of those timers (red and yellow, and I'm pretty sure I spent quite a bit less than $12 a piece). They are pretty nice, but not super great quality (sometimes they are hard to wind because the rim you hold onto slips--it's hard to explain). I like mine, and would buy them again, but definitely look for a better price.
The milk bottle is adorable! Of course, I don't drink milk, but I could be my tea in it.
$60 for a set of 3 jars!?! Good lord! Am I the only one to have this reaction? Why pay such a ridiculous price when you can easily find REAL antique jars at thrift stores for a buck or less? The numbers are pretty but you can DIY it with a stencil and $4 of glass etching compound.
I have the Kikkerland timer as well (and it comes in blue, surf around) and love it. I use it for baking and laundry!
I get #1 jars for free from my doctor every time I need a urine test.
Vitamini, I got one of those timers in aqua from Anthropologie. Same price and all. I love it!
And I WANT those milk bottles! I am a sucker for kitchen wares. Even though I still need a bigger bookcase and curtains, I cannot stop buying cute kitchen accessories!
I'm glad someone has good luck with those timers, but I (and quite a few others if you read the reviews on Anthropologie) got a complete dud. Mine would only ring if I put it on a counter. On the fridge or the stove, it stopped ticking within five minutes, no matter how far back I turned it first. Buyer beware.
I love the wall mounted bottle opener though! Very tempting.
I have that timer in red, but it never worked. It's a strong magnet, however, and still looks nice on the fridge.
Love the bottle opener, but shipping costs more than the item itself.
I'm loving antique week....
I love my turquoise Kikkerland timer. Occasionally, I have to tap it to get it to tick. I got mine at Anthropologie. I noticed them on the Velocity Art and Design website recently. What I'm really interested in is the dress form.....
I also bought the lovely looking timer awhile back, but it was a big fail, unfortunately. You never knew when it would decide to quit working (and ruin your dinner). It was returned, and an ugly digital was bought to replace it.
