Stainless Steel Soap Dishes

Stainless Steel Soap Dishes

I purchased a two-pack of these over a decade ago and they are still going strong.  The best part of this soap dish is it comes apart into two pieces for very easy cleaning.  The stainless steel cleans up very nicely.

Heat Powered Oscillating Stove Fan

This is a non-electric fan that rests on the top of your wood stove to help to circulate the heat.  I am fascinated by this item not only because it operates without electricity, but it also turns itself on.

Heating our homes is one of the biggest chores we have over the winter months and others who solely heat with wood I believe would agree.  This quiet little fan helps to circulate the heat and disperse it evenly throughout the home.

My Favorite Laundry Basket

Hanging out clothes to dry in the wind is one of my favorite chores at the homestead.  I love the smell and feel of laundry fresh off the line.  

Carrying wet laundry can be heavy.  This is my favorite laundry basket.  The square size makes it easy to get through doorways without bumping your knuckles on the door framing, and the size is just perfect for carrying.   The plastic makes for easy cleanup if needed.  I own several and use them regularly outside when hanging our laundry.  The baskets stack inside one another for easy storage.    

Information from the seller about the product:  The Sterilite 1.5 Bushel ultra square laundry basket features a square design that occupies less valuable floor space. The basket offers durable construction with a reinforced rim that will hold up under regular day-to-day use. Comfortable handles make transporting clothes to and from the laundry room easy. The smooth plastic interior is snag proof and easy to clean. The hole pattern provides ventilation for the clothes inside and helps eliminate excessive odors. This laundry basket is ideal for transporting laundry between rooms, collecting dirty clothes or sorting loads. The overall dimensions of this item are 19.375″ x 19.125″ x 13.875″.
