I was on the hunt for a kitchen scrap bucket. I've started my compost heap in the far corner of the yard by the treeline, but I didn't want to have to hike it out there every time I cut up an apple or peeled a cucumber. And I didn't want to spend a stinkin' $30 for Rachel Ray's designer kitchen scrap compost bucket
whatever. So, I headed to my favorite antique mall in Ellicott City and, as always, that place delivered!
I found this sweet, vintage pea green and chrome ice bucket with a cool knob and funky handle. I couldn't have been more happy! And you know what was even better? It was on SALE, baby!

Here it is in all it's pea green glory! |

LOVE the knob |

Don't you just adore the curve of that handle? |
Is it possible to love a kitchen scrap bucket?
Oh yes.
We actually have a middle ground for our compost - a 25-gallon bucket just outside the back door. So I dump the kitchen waste in the middle bucket daily, and dump the middle bucket into the compost weekly. I am so lazy! :)
ReplyDeleteLove it! I need me one. But it has to be as cute as yours and pea green too. :)
