  1. I am amazed at your collection of potato mashers! I just got a new one at a thrift store yesterday, can't wait to try it. I have been collecting cookie cutters, metal or plastic. check the "Dollar Store" I really like the circle in a square napkin ring. I will be looking at everything differently now. You have given me great ideas!
