Every now and then when browse SFMOMA, scouting kitchen gadgets is another my favorite thing. I found these whimsical kitchen items at OOPstuff.com. Toucan Can Opener, Piranha Pizza Cutter and Monkey Peeler. Sure makes me want to get ripe off my current one and replace with these. Come to think about it, my friend just bought a new condo. A house warming gift is in my mind. Amazon.com also carry them.

Cute expression




























While searching the internet I found this cute pics that I absolutely love. However, I'm sad the person who make this softies are not for sell. It was for donation. It's good too. That's my thinking too, when something you no longer need or in use pass it on. You might make another happy person on this earth.
