Bobad, I like the magnetic holders, but can't find one right to hand. I have one at my sewing machine, where it holds needles, screwdrivers, etc.
A knife block would probably be the best thing for my small kitchen, but I hate to give up the elegant beer mug from a thrift shop which serves as a knife holder now. It's cute. When do you ever see anything cute in a kitchen in a decorating book? (There's a layer of soft material in the bottom of the mug to protect knife tips as they go in.)
My husband and I tend not to throw money around, but we do enjoy travelling and have started spending money on travel in recent years. We are heeding the advice of an old lady who said, 'Go while you can still walk.'
Bat Goddess, I know what you mean about the stuff in the mall. I haven't been in a mall in years.
