During dinner with friends recently, I was complaining about how I couldn't find a simple hose tidy that wasn't a twee reproduction number in heritage colours, plastic or just plain ugly.
I was invited to take a look at their hose tidy as, if I liked it, they had a spare one as they had been given two by female friend's parents yet were only going to use one. Friend's husband, The Cameraman Who's Always Right, while a generous man in every other way, can be a teeny bit of a hoarder and tried to pretend it was still in storage (they'd been renovating). No it's not, was his wife's reply that came accompanied with an eye roll.
I managed to get it into the car and drilled it into the wall early next morning before he could invent some dubious reason for its return, such as using it to keep his camera cords neat.
Came from a market in Canberra (don't know which one, unfortunately) and I love it.
That is awesome! I have never seen one like that.
ReplyDeletethese are designed and made by Thomas Westra, check him out on the internet. I had to see if i could discover who made them :) A picture on the site shows the hose spray attachment resting on the tail of the gecko....quite clever.
DeleteThat is very cool - would love to have one of those on my wall instead of the old hose reel.
