bakers rack : Martha's... erm... rack
We have a very nice baker's rack that I picked up when a local home-furnishings-und-schtuff place (Service Merchandise) went belly-up. White enamel, brass-like finials and end-caps and a supposedly-medium-oak top. Works well at collecting kitchen clutter and misc. small electric appliances (Warning: Food Geek present... :). Our house was built in the early '60s and the cabinets leave a lot to be desired. Actually they leave a whole new set of cabinets to be desired... :oD
My take on this is that altho' MS gets a cut of what's sold with her name on it, the folks at Kresge's also benefit. Frankly, I try to put a little time in at the ol' K-Mart just because it's not Wally-world. There's a Super-Ultra-Mega-Deluxe Wal-Mart going up on every other corner in the 'Springs right now (or so it seems) and in keeping with the "competition is a good thing ideal I try to spread my spending around. Kel's aunt thinks I'm a nut because "everything's at Wal-Mart! Why not go there?"
Choice and competition, baby.
Seriously -- if the Baker's Rack meets the need, then press on. :o)
Now if y'all'l excuse me, I've gotta go make waffles for the screaming hordes... :o)
Cheers,
