This is an add-on to yesterday’s post. I forgot that Eric created the wine caddy after he made this basket first (based on an old basket we currently use to hold magazines).
It’s the same size as the wine caddy but without the “side inserts.” I named this version the Kindling Caddy. As the name conveys, I thought it was perfect for gathering twigs and small pieces of wood and would look great next to a fireplace. However, we ended up using it to store cloth napkins so they are readily available. (Similar to Eric’s Apple Basket. Doesn’t hold apples, but rather the dog toys.)
While naming this beauty, I went online, as I usually do, to look up different words that could describe its use. When I typed in the word ‘kindling’ and searched, I had no idea it would be defined as what I saw on wikipedia. Simply took a snapshot instead of retyping…
I had no idea! So how exactly did small pieces of wood for starting fires be known as kindling??? Also makes you wonder how Amazon’s Kindle got its name…
