A gadget is usually a small machine or a tool that often has one particular function, which, not necessarily, is a useful one. For this reason, gadgets sometimes are more of a novelty product. But fear not, we have selected the most useful kitchen items for you to try.
From cheese boards to table linens, these would make perfect gifts.
Hello everyone! First I'd like to thank you all for your sweet comments and for entering my Mini Give-away! Your comments about my miniatures warmed my heart for sure! I've been working on some custom orders all week and thought I'd share a favorite of mine. This shabby pale blue hutch has been sent out already but I adored making it, as I do with all the miniatures I make. When I design them, I often wish I could re-do all the life size ones this way also :). Maybe I'll repaint and design my own hutches when the snow thaws and the weather gets me motivated :) For now, I'll stick with baking miniatures , creating designs, and because we were snowed in most of the week, I even found a bit of time for a blog re-new. I needed something a little lighter and brighter for spring and a bit of my pale blue back too! Thank you to Susan Branch for allowing me to use a pattern she painted in one of her books as my new background, I love it Susan! You're the sweetest and the bestest :)!! I added a new blog button on my side bar , so for those of you that would like to change out my old one or add this one, feel free to use it! And now it's time to announce the Winner for my give-away: ( I used the Random Generator) and the number that came up was 10.... So .....Congratulations goes out to: Janet at Cottage Blessings ..... You are the winner! Please send me your address via email so I can get your goodies out to you! Thank you so much everyone for participating! I honestly wish you all could have won, because each of you is a gift every day from blogland! I hope you are all enjoying a better winter than we are :) We've had record snow this month in January and the mounds of snow exceed my height many times over, which makes seeing a Spring flower pretty far off from here. But I have hope.... and I'm hanging in there... waiting and waiting... making my miniatures, cleaning out rooms, trying to navigate the roads, chopping ice off the deck, eating a little too much, baking a little too much lol and just generally WAITING for that Spring air to make it's way here........ one day :) Have a lovely weekend friends! Hugs, Cynthia xo

Keep your counter clean while adding some charm to your kitchen with this adorable Fried Egg Spoon Rest! This handmade spoon rest is cute and functional at the same time, with several dips to rest multiple utensils. Each spoon rest varies slightly in size, but they are approximately 5” in diameter. Each Egg dish has unique characteristics such as slight variations in size of the yolk and color due to the hand made process. Each item is one-of-a-kind. All of my ceramic ware is glazed with lead free and non-toxic glazes. They are food & microwave safe. It is safer to wash handmade pottery by hand to avoid breakage, but the spoon rests are technically dishwasher safe. For the larger, 7" wide version of the Fried Egg Spoon Rest, visit my shop!

This one oscillates almost all the time in the living room. I even have it going when the central air is turned on to move the air around the room. Nothing moves the air like those old metal blades. This one is in my bedroom and it is as heavy as lead. It also can move the air like nobody's business. I rarely sleep with it on though. I just cool the room down before I jump in bed. This one is in the computer room/studio on the third floor. All of the fans have dusty blades right now. I usually clean them very well and give them a drop of oil before I put them away for the winter. I always know where they are in case I burn something in the kitchen and have to grab one to blow the smoke out the window. They are getting harder and harder to find as you can well imagine. They don't make them like this anymore. I should work on mine and get them all dusted off and shined up like this one.
