I have always been nuts over these plastic kitchen accessories, especially the ones in red. So it was funny to walk into “Willis Wonderland” and into the kitchen only to have my breath almost knocked out of me. I could sleep in the kitchen it’s that fabulous!

I forget what this chef is supposed to be? I think he might be a towel holder, note his curled fingers……

This is one of my favorite pieces of kitsch from the kitchen. Most of my relatives had little plastic, kitschy note pads hanging all over their kitchens but I don’t ever remember anyone owning the chef.

The spoon rest just kills me!

This sits on the counter at “Willis Wonderland” and brings a smile to my face every time I see it. I love cheese.

    The white chefs in the top photo are made out of rubber. Only the holder is plastic.

    I have no idea what the chef in the second photo is supposed to be either. I just bought him because he matched so many of my other ones.

    One of the ones that you missed that also hangs on the wall is a radish cutter. You push it into the radish and it makes a flower.

    The last chef is ceramic. I love him because he’s so happy. Totally impractical to keep grated cheese in him though as it cakes up and can’t get through the holes.

    I just found the Chef in the last photo for some outrageously cheap price!

    Yep, only cost me $1.00.

    I took a study break today and had a very successful thrift shop adventure.
