Are you addicted to Amazon/Online shopping? I think my hubby and I are both hooked. I do like to support local shops, but so many times the item I want/need (do I really need it?) can't always be found at nearby shops.
When I go online shopping, so many images are flashed before me... things that I didn't know I needed/wanted. I think the following purchase may have been the case for my hubby!
At some point, a few years ago, I was organizing/cleaning some of our kitchen cabinets. Tucked away in one of them was this item:
My first thought was that the Mr. had purchased a taco holder. But, we don't particularly care for tacos. I asked him about it. He looked at it and with a puzzled expression, declared he had no clue. Oh well, when we moved I packed it up with the other kitchen items in case his memory returned. I certainly didn't want him asking, "What did you do with such and such?" and then with an accusatory tone ask, "Did you throw it out?"
Not long ago I received one of "those" emails/notifications from Amazon (or some other Internet sales source) offering something almost like this for sale. OMG - I finally knew what its original purpose was. However, I had already repurposed this piece. It makes a great ruler caddy for all most of my quilting rulers!
Do you know what this item was originally designed to do?

It's a charging station!
It makes more sense to me as a ruler holder!
I would not have guessed that. We have two phones to charge and that's it. I guess I don't need one. It does a great job holding your quilt rulers.
ReplyDeleteThat seems so nice and simple!
DeleteIt definitely makes more sense to hold rulers. And who has that many pieces of electronics that need charged? We have two phones in our house that we charge. Once a week, I charge my watch and my bluetooth speaker.
ReplyDeleteSo simple! We have iPads, watches, phones, and other electronics and we each have our own nest of wires someplace in the house.
DeleteGlad you found a good use for it! I never would have guessed what it was originally for.
ReplyDeleteI wish you could have seen us puzzling over it - I can't chastise him for not remembering its use, as I could do the same thing the way my brain is now!
