Here is a weekend catch after my visit to Starokonniy Market. Large amount of spoons, few forks, knives, outstanding manual mixer and mirrorless film camera produced in 1957.

My friends, many of you may know I’m keen on food photos. That is why I’m in search of interesting dishes and different kitchen utensils. I’m very interested in such things as used blackened cutting board full of cracks. Or very black fork. Well, I mean such things that you are likely to throw away. At the same time if you have unpaired set of beautiful crockery I will gladly take it as present or buy some parts of it.
So if you have something like that, please write to me. And please, share this post with your friends. Maybe they have something for me. I will greatly appreciate this!
