I like that bread bin design. Corners can be such wasted space in kitchens.
How odd about the candle. I wonder if someone nicked it & had to sort of get rid of it. A nice find for you, though.

2) To read 50 books (12/50) 3) The Re-Shrinking of Foxgloves 8.1kg/30kg
Remember....if you have to put it on a credit card, extend your overdraft or take out a loan to buy whatever it is, you probably can't afford it, as that's not your money, it's somebody else's!4 -
What a bizarre thing to do. At least you have gained a candle.
