I triple dog dare ya!
It’s a cream pitcher my mom gave me years ago.
Back in Illinois, we had a drawer crammed with takeout menus. Now everything’s online so no need.

A thread about best ever tchotchkes?

LOL, I wouldn’t even know where to start…
Perhaps it would need to be themed…cat tchotchkes, dog tchotchkes, horses, fish, birds, pigs…
Seaside, mountain, city, farm…
Hand made, souvenirs, heirlooms…

This is one of my faves. My dad gave it to me. The arm broke off and I glued it back on. I like looking at it when I’m working, always makes me smile. I really should put it on the car dash where it belongs.

I have literally lol-ed several times reading this thread. The commentary is fantastically fun!
I’m a little afraid to mention this, but our housekeeper when I was growing up ironed both my sheets and those of my parents. In their entirety. There is nothing better than ironed sheets. She also ironed my pajamas.
I have ironed pillowcases for our guest bed, but that’s it. I have ironed tablecloths in a former, more formal life.

I am ashamed to admit I iron sheets, pillowcases, pajamas, everything. My now 31 year old daughter told me in 4th grade to stop ironing her clothes, that classmates were making fun of her starched and creased jeans.

My 84-year-old mom takes in some ironing, just for fun. She even barters ironing for her hairdresser’s services. She has always loved it and I, too, grew up starched and creased @CottonTales.

Is that a drawer??? How do you fit a box in a drawer?
Heck, I can’t figure out where to photograph. Have junk here and there. S made us organize a bunch of it but there is still more than there should be.

I use the drop, jam, slam and run technique.

When I don’t iron my “fancy” tablecloth for nice dinners I hear my mom yelling at me from heaven. When I wash the napkins I get them out right away and fold them - otherwise I will iron them.
I now have a steamer, which I sometimes use on clothes. I have an ironing board set up in the basement, but hardly ever use it.
My grandmother (had 8 kids) ironed all kinds of things, and I would often find things to be ironed in the refrigerator.

I’m at my beach house so this isn’t my “real” junk drawer, but I didn’t want to be left out of the fun. And, I wanted to show off the hot dog tchotchke…… 
Looking at this pic it’s obvious that the junk spills onto the counter….

My mother was an ironer, I think partly because she listened to audiobooks while she ironed. Sadly I did not inherit the gene.
