No 3 - a vintage tinware grater

This little beauty was picked up for 30p from the regular Monday flea market that used to take place in Sheffield back in the early 1990's. It's a fantastic bit of kitchenalia and the detailing is really lovely. It's stamped with the Tala brand and probably dates from the 1930-40's.

It has a little compartment behind a sliding panel on the back for storing.....

 

......nutmegs!

It lives on the knife rack next to our cooker and gets used regularly. Especially in sweet potato mash and buttered leeks!

I love things that are interesting, beautiful and functional. Don't you?

Seize the day...

Warm, autumn days are hard to beat.

Saturday was pretty perfect. The day was well and truly seized and packed out with all manner of loveliness......croissants for breakfast, an unexpected table top sale, a long cliff top walk from Saltburn to Skinningrove, a flask of hot chocolate with Bailey's and pieces of wedding cake, browsing at the farmers market, a quick charity shop rummage, and fish and chips before heading home. 

 

Having lived in Sheffield for most of my life, I can't quite believe I now live close enough to the sea to be able to just go there on a whim. It's always such a treat!
