My blog friends over at
Fabriken, ask:
what's your favorite item in your kitchen? Without a doubt it's my old, black iron stove.

When not in use, different kind of every day items seem to pile up there.... So before taking some snapshots with
my mobile phone camera (hence the quality), I used what was sitting there today, arranging the stuff into a still life. Or three.

Behind the stove is the chimney which I painted black (chalk paint) this summer. The iron pots & pans, and the pic of the boy, are from my Granny.
OK - off to clear the stove now, in order to light a fire... Mmmmmm...
