Great Towel

I set out researching beds - as I am about to move into a new abode and as I have almost nil furniture, I have been doing quite a bit of looking around.

At Aspley, as well as a number of bed shops, I found Howards Storage World - one of my favourite shops, though I doubt I am one of their best customers.  I dream mostly when I am there - clearly if one is 'transient' like me, I have little need for some of their wonderful items.

They do have quite a selection of items made from bamboo - from cutting boards, to kitchen items.  I bought this bamboo towel, which is rather neat with the magnet in the corner, and I am using it at the house sit.  (I just love bamboo towels, and they are great in the kitchen.)  The guy behind the counter learning about my interest in bamboo also a not needed bamboo box, which the towel is sitting in for the photo.

I also purchased a canister for my coffee.

These and other great bamboo products are at Howard's Storage World - they have shops in many shopping centres.

My Bamboo Journey Continues

Sorry, dear readers, that I have not posted here for a while.  I have been travelling around Australia and not able to keep up with all of my writing commitments.   While travelling around Australia I visited two great bamboo farms, which I will detail in another post or two, but mean while, I would like to
comment on the increasing availability of bamboo products on the market in Australia.

Products created with bamboo seem to be bobbing up all over the place and I see in Spotlight, Howards, Kitchen Plus, Robin's Kitchen, K-Mart, Target, etc.  The products range from ietms for the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom - just seek and ye shall find.

One item I found on my journey (actually in Perth, Western Australia) were make up brushes with bamboo handles.

I actually cannot remember the precise store I bought this from, but it was one of the stores that has cosmetics in the front of the store and hair dressing at the back.  It is a lovely brush to use, and I shall be looking for others to add to my collection later.

Another item that was given to me was this cup - made of bamboo too.  I shall have to find the photo.
