2nd - 13th November 2009 - Kitchenalia at Erina Branch Library
As the name implies, kitchenalia is the collecting of items used in or related to the kitchen. As this room is often the heart of the home, most kitchenalia collectors are often wanting to recapture a nostalgic slice of the way it 'used to be' and bring back memories of being in grandma's kitchen -- or simply wanting to satisfy a yearning for things of yesteryear. Recently, however, interior decorators have become attracted to kitchenalia items, given their bold colours and interesting shapes, which can often make quite a statement in a modern room.
The options available for the kitchenalia collector are vast. If this is an area you are interested in then you can tailor your collection to suit whatever area takes your fancy. From early electronic appliances to storage containers and those items related to a particular ingredients (for example, milk or cheese). You could even just collect particular objects like can openers, corkscrews or even rolling pins.
As mentioned above, kitchenalia provides a broad range of options for the home decorator. Although items like old storage jars or blue and white jugs have been popular decorating items for ages other objects like old tools, aprons, jelly moulds and even tablecloths could be turned into something decorative to brighten up your home.
