still life: my kitchen, a.m.

My kitchen has become a place of work and learning. I have discovered new-old ways of nourishing my family, frugally using what we have and safe ways to clean. I enjoy the space, it is the original kitchen and makes no accommodation for lots of bench top appliances. It works. It is a working kitchen, not a display kitchen. It's a place I feel happy.
Collected things I love to look at, serving purpose. Seeds collected and drying, citrus cleaner steeping.

My next task awaits.

Tools at the ready.
 
Growing food from kitchen scraps.
 
The first tomato growing experience provided much learning. And not many tomatoes.
 
Poppi's African violets. I have warmed to their delicate ways.
 
Linking up with The Beetleshack Stills. Wishing you a moment of still in your day today!

  1. My kitchen is the same...and I am still learning to love it!
    I am getting there...I am going to get my husband to put up some more shelves to store more purpose serving things and my every growing collection of health foods.

    1. I would love to play with this kitchen, but being a rental...no fun for me. But I'm finding I don't know what I need as my cooking is changing a lot! Fewer random ingredients, more homemade preserves, sauces etc. My kitchen certainly looks a lot different to the one I had in 2007!

    1. Our last one was a tiny balcony line. I love this old beast of a washing line. She does hurt when she conks you in the head though ;)
