The Easter Bunny made a stop by Chris’ parents’ house this weekend. I guess he knew we’d be coming, because when we arrived there were little packages of goodies awaiting us. There was the requisite chocolate, a little something for Nilla, and then this:

No, this was not taken with a tilt shift lens (but wouldn’t that be fun?). These little utensils are not decorative miniatures, they are not dollhouse wares, nor are they intended for making teeny tiny meals.

This whisk and this sieve….

They’re earrings! Adorable kitchen utensil earrings. Chris’ mom…er…the Easter Bunny picked them up mostly because they were all kinds of cute and very much up my alley, though with no strong assumptions that I’d wear them.

I have to say, though, I’m totally in love with them. They’re well-made and, despite what one might think, don’t look or feel tacky at all. I’m not a particularly eclectic person, but these fall just within my personal range of quirky enough to be interesting yet still wearable. And if I ever need to rinse a lentil or two, I’m all set.

Thanks, Easter Bunny.
