Inspiration from a friend's house...

Something I have been lacking for a while in the kitchen is a bowl to keep the fruit and veggies in that stay on our counter. Back in Montana and in Denver we used a hanging fruit basket and that was wonderful! With our ceilings here, that just will not work, at least not without some clever engineering. I have keep my eyes open and nothing has been something I wanted to buy.

This past weekend, Emma was at a birthday party and a few moms were gathered in the kitchen and I saw this 2 tiered stand that had fruit on it. I asked where she got it and she told me her dad had put it together from two plates and a candlestick holder... really!?! To Goodwill we went tonight and I had planned on just finding a couple plates as similar as possible and hopefully finding a candlestick holder that matched. By the time we left, we had spent $8 and Dave was on board. What we ended up buying, cost a little more than what we could have bought but everything matched!

The finished project... Can't wait to get it loaded up with some fruit!
