Malts * Shakes.

Don’t worry….there’s another one.

Malts * Shakes and Banana Splits.  The color, the font, the wording….they just made me smile.

So I bought them.  Just like that.

Very, very strange indeed.  I’m sure they won’t hang here forever, as they’re not my classic style, but for now, they are such a fun, upbeat addition to our kitchen decor.

Speaking of inexpensive decor that makes me happy….this cookbook is just perfect.  I LOVE the graphic fork and spoon on the spine.

Here’s to simple and impulsive purchases…within reason, of course.
